I'm considering applying to Washington State University, but I'm not sure of its exact location. Can anyone tell me where it is and what the surrounding area is like? Is it close to any major cities?
Washington State University (WSU) is located in Pullman, Washington, a small town in the eastern part of the state. It's near the border of Washington and Idaho. The area surrounding WSU is mostly rural.
Although it's not situated near any major cities, it does have a strong community vibe because of its college town setting. Spokane, which is the second largest city in Washington, is about a 75-minute drive to the north. Similarly, the city of Coeur d'Alene in Idaho is a short distance away.
Pullman and the surrounding area offer outdoor activities like hiking and camping, while on campus, there's a wealth of events, clubs, sports, and other activities for students. However, if urban life and accessibility to large metropolitan areas is crucial for you, it's important to keep in mind the rural and fairly remote setting of WSU.
