Best PNW school for serious, no-party introvert?

Alternatively, consider the smaller and more rural “directional” state universities in Oregon: Western Oregon U, Eastern Oregon U, and Southern Oregon U.

PSU, WOU, EOU, and SOU all offer WUE tuition discounts to Californians (including transfers), and the total cost of attendance could actually be competitive with CSUs in some cases. For example:

Long Beach State, Estimated Cost of Attendance, Off-Campus Housing, CA Resident: $25,276
