Pullman and the Inland Northwest offer unique
opportunities to participate in the cultural life of a major research
university and at the same time enjoy the benefits of small-town
friendliness and proximity to the Northwest's scenic splendor. Outdoor
recreational opportunities abound. Typical outings include rafting and
kayaking on the Salmon River, hiking and skiing in the Idaho mountains,
fishing for trout or steelhead in local rivers and streams or just enjoying
a picnic almost anywhere. The community enjoys a fine local symphony, many
chamber music groups, theater and dance companies. In addition, the
University and neighboring institutions host a full schedule of concerts and
performances by an eclectic assortment of artists on tour. Living costs in
the Pullman area are much lower than in a major metropolitan area, and life
is uncluttered by the distractions of big-city survival.
