Get out there. There’s something special about Moscow, Idaho. It’s a place that’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 little city as one of the 50 best college towns in America. Tucked between the sculpted hills of the Palouse — a famous 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.
Our College Town As Idaho’s most walkable city per Walkscore.com, Moscow is fun to explore on foot. A quick stroll from campus puts you in historic downtown, where you can enjoy art galleries, boutiques, coffee houses, local fine and casual dining, and beautiful green spaces. Discover Palouse living: uidaho.edu/your-town.
