There are plenty of places in Corvallis OR, just not a Walmart cause I guess OSU didn't want one in the city (politics something or other) There isn't a mall either, but there is one in Salem and I would assume Eugene, idk about Albany. None of which are far away. IN some smaller towns for example Monmouth where my college is located, there is a BiMart, a bank, a few fast food restaurants and not much else. So you might not want to live there. As for humidity, not much of that either. In the summer tho we usually get wild fires and in the Rouge Vally (Medford) the smoke kinda sets, which makes the valley smell like smoke, but it goes away.
