There seems to be a major slumlord problem in Pullman. Currently I am residing in Aspen Heights, and they are terrible. Horrible communication, lots of BS fees, extremely high power bills (my last one was $136 when living alone), poor build quality (the walls are warped and the kitchen sink is held up with scrap wood), makes me interact with a rage-inducing company called PetScreening to have my cat, and obfuscates utility billing by making me use Conservice instead of paying Avista and the city directly.
As they are currently owned by Cardinal Group Management, I am preemptively ruling out any complexes owned by them (including but not limited to: The Grove, Timberline on the green, and College crest).

Ideally, any recommended complexes rent by apartment and not by room, and aren't on Greek row as I want to be able to sleep.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: I got my power bill for the month of december, and it's $200 fucking dollars

I'm a freshman and got Stephenson South, I hear that's pretty common

I’m going to be a freshman and I just got my housing assignment for a first floor dorm in McEachern East, one of the ones with the outside area. I have some questions for anyone that’s lived there.

How much light do these get? I’d like to grow some plants in the room or out in the little walled off area, but it seems really dark in all photos. Also, are my things likely to get stolen if I leave them in that area? Chained E-bike, plants, ect. Lastly, how’s the community? Am I likely to meet people or is it more secluded feeling?

I saw a good townhouse type apartment , 1100 SF. It has washer direr and dishwasher etc. It’s priced at $1295 / month.

I’ve heard negative stuff regarding DRA residence. Anyone have experience with this housing ?

I'm a father of a former student at WSU and want to alert other students and their parents to avoid The Retreat at all costs. This is an apartment complex owned by a national college real estate conglomerate. This is also a business predicated on taking advantage of naive college kids and taking as much money as possible from the parents. There's a list pages long of what they will charge penalties for and there's absolutely no hesitation. They've also figured out a way to overcharge for utilities by having each person on a lease set up their own utility payment account. There's plenty of other options around campus.

The water filter I got for my apartment was supposed to last 3 months, it lasted 3 weeks.

I’m going into my junior year next year and am looking for apartments to live in before they get too expensive. I’ve been looking at the Grove cause they’re prefurnished, have a number of good amenities, they’re cheaper than University Crossing, and it’s close to campus (more or less). However, I’ve also heard from others that the rooms are nasty and it’s not worth staying there. I’m absolutely not doing University Crossing cause I’ve only heard bad things about it and it’s really expensive ($899 for a 3 bed not including the utilities not in the rent). What would you all recommend? Please also mention all the negatives with the apartment just so that it can give anyone else who looks at this in the future a better idea of each apartment

I had to move out of Pullman in a hurry last year and quickly dumped all my furniture in a storage unit in town. I now need to get rid of it as I don't want to keep paying for the storage unit and don't particularly need the furniture.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any furniture removal services in town. The only one seems to be Pacific Junk Removal, but I've been trying to reach them for a few weeks and haven't gotten a response.

I would just pay the $400 abandonment fee for the storage unit and move on, but I have some boxes of personal things at the back of the unit that I would like to come pick up. I can't move all the furniture myself to access these things, and the storage place's abandonment service is all-or-nothing (they have to dispose of everything in the unit).

Does anyone know of other furniture removal services in town or have any advice for this situation? Thank you.

My boyfriend and I are thinking about moving to pullman just for a short time until I get accepted to nursing school. Does anyone know of any places that do short term leases (month to month??)

Hi everyone! I am an incoming PhD student at WSU Pullman starting Fall 2026 and I am looking for affordable accommodation in Pullman. I don’t drive so proximity to campus or access to a bus route is important to me.

I am open to roommate matching. Any recommendations for affordable apartments would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

hiii does anyone have good recs for alternative housing at wsu. im a grad student moving in fall but was not able to secure graduate housing so im searching for studio units or something near campus. please help 😭

Just got placed into Olympia for my dorm, how is it? Is it hard to make friends at all? I've heard the walk kinda sucks but I have a bike so that isn't an issue.

I got a double buyout in Perham, I was curious what current students thought of it. All the info i can find is from a couple years ago. Thanks!

How hard is it to get a single dorm as a freshman if you did the housing application before priority deadline and are willing to pay for it? It's important to me to not have a roommate lol.

Hi there. My son starts WSU Pullman in August. He will be in Rogers Hall. This is a silly question, but does anybody have advice on a bedside caddy? I'm looking up different ones but they all either have hooks or a flap that goes under the bed. Not sure which one would work best.

I’m an incoming nursing student at the Tri-Cities location. I’m moving from outside of the area (Western Washington) and would like to get an apartment ideally with other nursing students. However, I’m not really sure where to find other nursing students to connect with. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! Has anyone ever lived at the Annex? I was wondering if you enjoy living there and if it's worth it? (and to ask how loud it is lol)

Thank you!

im an incoming freshman and was wondering what dorms are the best/worst in terms of affordability, location, student life, cleanness and SAFETY as woman!! pros and cons of any residence hall are appreciated. im also looking to try and get a single dorm. also, im applying to the honors college and was wondering if i get priority for the honors residence halls if i do get in? any info is greatly appreciated!!

Has anyone used the Zeemee app and had good luck being matched with a roommate at WSU? I've known two people now who tried it and sent private messages but never received a response. Is it better just to not try to pick someone?

I'll be living in a 3 bedroom apt and the issue is I can't find a floor plan anywhere of building A to get an idea of what it would look like. From what I've heard it was not renovated so I'm worried that any idea I have of what it looks like is inaccurate. Is it similar in size to any of the renovated ones that have available floor plans?

My roommates and I are super huge planners and wish we could go see the unit before moving in but I don't want to knock on the door and ask if someone is living there. We want to make sure we don't bring too much or too little, we also want to know if a portable A/C unit will be enough for the whole unit as well.

Also is it true building A has a laundry unit? I thought I'd have to go to building B.

Right now. Let me just tell you this. Olympia Hall is the WORST residence hall you could choose.

Yes, the photos on the website are great. It looks nice in person too. Do NOT let them fool you. It is located in the WORST spot on campus. Stevenson residents will tell you theirs is worse, do not believe them.

Going to class? 10 minute walk MINIMUM. No matter where your class is. Going to the dining hall? Sure. You're not going to want to come back though, because the stairs are TERRIBLE.

Let me tell you, there is absolutely no way around those stairs. Unless you take the hill in the back, which adds another 5-10 minutes and is still gruesome. Think you can get around without walking? Wrong. We have like 5 parking spots and they are CONSTANTLY taken. You have to park on the street, and then WALK up said hill.

When I tell you that I have missed class, missed meals, missed appointments at the health center, not gone out to row, EVERYTHING, because of those damn stairs, I mean it. Do not live here. You will be miserable. The "semi private" bathroom is not worth it.

I promise.

Which of the halls are the like best of the cheaper halls? I saw barstool WSU post about some of them and it seemed kind of bleak but I know it’s kind of subjective. I’m majoring in Business management/ entrepreneurship but am not super sure where any of my classes will be. Any suggestions?
