Enriching campus life

The campus is a hub for most of the university’s student organizations, including its athletic teams, as well as galleries, performance venues, and museums dedicated to art, anthropology, zoology, and other topics.

WSU Pullman is largely residential; 46 percent of students live in residence halls, university-owned apartments, or fraternity and sorority houses.
