A gorgeous campus that's filled with Vandals

Urban Tree-Filled Attractive Land-Grant Top-Ranking High-Research Historic

The University of Idaho is situated near the Idaho/Washington border in an agriculture-rich area known as the Palouse region. As one of the country's land-grant institutions, the university's College of Natural Resources -- along with its College of Engineering, College of Law, and College of Education -- is considered one of the nation's best. The University of Idaho is a "high-research" university and was founded in 1889.

The Idaho Vandals participate in NCAA Division I as part of the Sun Belt Conference (football) and the Big Sky Conference. The football team plays at the Kibbie Dome, while the basketball team plays at Cowan Spectrum. Guy Wicks Field is home to the baseball and soccer teams. UI has produced several Olympians, including 2004 silver medalist Joachim Olsen.

The tree-filled campus is located in the city of Moscow and covers 1,585 acres. The university includes a golf course that was established in 1933 as well as an arboretum and a botanical garden. The city of Moscow is one of the fastest-growing cities in the region. The historic downtown offers wide, tree-lined streets and charming storefronts, restaurants, and a movie theater. Downtown is located on the northeast side of UI; find an apartment along West 6th Street and South Jackson Street to enjoy easy access to both.
