Our Town
There’s something special about Moscow, Idaho. It’s neither too big, nor too small — everything you need is within a short walk or bike ride from campus. It’s no wonder College Rank named our charming city as one of the 50 best college towns in America. Historic downtown is just a quick stroll from campus and features art galleries, boutiques, coffee houses, local fine and casual dining, as well as beautiful green spaces.
Tucked between the sculpted hills of the Palouse — a famous hilly region so beautiful it has been featured in National Geographic — Moscow is a gateway to incredible four-season adventure and outdoor thrills on the area’s scenic trails, mountains, rivers and lakes.
