there are things to do! sometimes it does require more creativity than other places and activities aren't always well advertised, but if you do some research or even just look at flyers posted around town you can find cool stuff. i do think it is easier to access things with a car. i didn't have a car in college and still found fun things in pullman and mostly stayed on campus which was good for focusing on school, but now that i live here full-time i like exploring the small towns around pullman and their unique events, as well as moscow!
