Blog Description

Welcome to our blog! As seniors here at Washington State University, we've heard the same jokes about living in the Palouse...time and time again...

"So how much time do you spend in those wheatfields...?"

"No wonder you're all alcoholics...there's nothing to do in Pullman except drink..."

...and my personal favorite, a quote from Don James, retired University of Washington football coach: "Attending WAZZU is great preparation for real life. It teaches you not to expect too much."

WELL, while we have as good of a sense of humor as anyone, if not better, we beg to differ. There is plenty to do in Pullman, and we plan to prove it to you. From nightlife, to outdoor recreation, to campus events/involvement, and more, Pullman earned the nickname Pullmania for a reason.

Sure, drinking may be an (albeit large) part of that, but that's the case at most American college campuses. From our last three years in this incredible town, we've got lots of personal experience in finding more to do. In our last year here, we're dedicated to finding even more and sharing it with all of you, if for no other reason than giving you something to share with your parents when they worry about your weekend habits.

Please share this with your friends, and send us messages or comments with any suggestions or requests of things you'd like to see. We want everyone to enjoy Pullman as much as we do!

Need a weekend getaway?

Although many believe that Pullman is a college town swimming in a sea of farm land surrounded by its nothing-ness, Pullman itself is actually the prime starting location to many quick weekend getaways! Here are a few quick-trip locations that will get you out of Pullman, without the price of a plane ticket!

1. Lake Coeur D' Alene
Only a 1.5 hr drive from Pullman, this North Idaho lake has just what you need for a weekend getaway. Whether you like the water sports, hiking, or prefer to shop and dine the night away, CD'A has everything you are looking for! I suggest visiting the website http://coeurdalene.org/ to find out information on lodging, dining and the other numerous attractions!


2. Montana
If you are really looking to get away and relax, there are many locations to visit in Montana! Mountain hot spring resorts, national parks, and ski resorts are calling your name! Go to www.visitmt.com for more information!

   These are just a few options that you have to get out of town, and remember there are many more to choose from! Good luck studying and when you have a free weekend, get out and enjoy the surrounding area of Pullman!
