Why are university Oregon and Oregon State so close?

I was just looking at a map and saw that Corvallis and Eugene are only 45 miles apart. Thats got to be the two closest major state schools around each other right? I know duke and UNC are closer but at least one is a small private school so very different. I always thought Oregon was more urban and hip and OSU was more rural and conservative. I had always imagined them on opposite sides of the state. Can anyone think of any other examples where two major state universities are clustered so close?

Why is Eastern Michigan six miles from Ann Arbor?

That area of the country is so beautiful. I love driving west from Corvallis to Newport and all those towns on the Oregon coast.
Also Lansing (MSU) and Ann Arbor(UM) are only 65 miles away. Georgia Tech and UGA are around 75ish miles too.
It's not that uncommon.

I miss seeing LSU gear. I really do.
And the people around here have no idea how bad LSU would beat the shite out of both of their colleges, even if they played them on the same day back to back.

Athens to Atlanta is only like 70 miles.

KSU and Kansas is less than thirty miles. Lawrence was by far the better party town and better looking girls. Campus was way better all around as well.

Duke and UNC are 8 miles apart.

Harvard is just a morning jog from MIT. Two accredited universities with 135 Nobel Prizes between them.

I've always wondered why some big state universities are near the borders of the state.
Auburn is in extreme East Alabama
Mississippi State is in extreme East Mississippi
Ole Miss is in North Mississippi
Clemson is in the extreme SW corner of SC
FSU is in the panhandle of Florida (although I know that's where the people lived in Florida back when the school got started.

Zoom out and put it on satellite view. You'll notice that is the only small cleared area in a state that is entirely forest
