The Pullman Campus of Washington State University covers an area of 620 acres (2.5 square kilometers) and is located in the palos area. The average elevation of the campus is about 2,500 feet (760 meters) above sea level, seven miles west of university of idaho, the hometown of Idaho and Moscow (1 1 km), and there are also land granting institutions. The university community is connected with Bill chipman Palus Trail through No.270 expressway. Palus is famous for its unique rolling hills, which are formed by wind-blown soil and support one of the most productive dryland agricultural areas in the world. The main crops are wheat, peas, barley and lentils. Nights are often highlighted by spectacular blue and pink sunsets, and the first board of directors decided to use the colors of the university (later changed to crimson and gray now). The campus is located in College Hill (one of the four Pullman Mountains), overlooking Pullman in the city center.
Step 2 live
WSU is a residential campus. Many freshmen live in dormitories, while some live in fraternities and sororities or off-campus dormitories. After the first year, many students moved to apartments, some of which belonged to WSU. Most apartments are smaller than 1? 2 miles (0.8 kilometers) from the campus. Off-campus accommodation is divided into two parts that students generally know; College hill and apartment land. College Hill is inhabited by many members of the Greek community. They no longer live in a fraternity/sorority house and are often called "people who live outside".
Each guild hall has its own government to organize activities, manage budgets and serve as a forum for students to participate. These halls range in size from the exclusive Stevens Hall (about 70 residents) to the huge Stephenson Complex (about 1200 residents). The highlight of the dormitory in a year is usually the back-to-school week. Dormitories, off-campus students and Greeks compete in various activities. Chariot races and other events determine the winner of homecoming week. In the past ten years, the winner of back-to-school week is usually the dormitory team. In 2008, the dormitory swept the class reunion. Waller/wilmer Davis/Stevens won the first place, Scott Coleman won the second place, and Stimson/Regent won the third place.
