Things to bring
Classes start at 8:10 a.m. You are expected to be on time, so you need to bring an alarm clock.
Depending on the time of year, the weather in pullman can range from very hot to very cold. If you will be coming during the fall and winter months, expect to bring warm clothing such as sweatshirts, long pants, gloves, a winter jacket, warm shoes or boots, etc.
During the spring and summer months, temperatures range from mild to very hot, so bring long pants, sweatshirts, shorts, t-shirts, etc.
We have many rainy days during the fall, winter, and spring months, so plan accordingly.
The program provides
sheets, a blanket, and a pillow with a cover. If
you would like more you will need to bring your own.
There are central men's and women's restrooms and showers on the floor so you will need something to carry your things down the hall. Bring your own towels, washcloths, soap etc.
The university recommends wearing flip-flops in the showers to prevent the transmission of foot diseases and fungus.
There are gyms and swimming pools available. If you want to take advantage of those you will have to bring the appropriate clothes.
You have to bring your official identification. You cannot test without it.
Things NOT to bring
Students are not allowed to bring a television or a car to Pullman while they are in the program.
Because WSU has always been a large residential university in a small town, nearly everything that a student might need is on-campus. There is also a free bus system that serves WSU and the city of Pullman.
