Washington State University lists its 2026-27 single-student apartments in Pullman at $2,095 to $4,920 a term, with internet, streaming TV, water, sewer and garbage included, and family and graduate apartments at $605 to $1,175 a month. Its residence hall contract requires a resident meal plan, with a base cost of $995 a semester at the time of its 2026-27 policies, and first-year students fall under a live-in requirement. I could not find residence hall room rates on an official page.
Details come from WSU Housing and Residence Life’s apartment rates page and its 2026-27 housing and dining policies, checked on 29 October 2026. All amounts are in US dollars.

Spring 2027 rates are higher than fall for each unit (for example, $4,920 furnished for Chief Joseph 2-bedroom), and single-student apartments are charged by semester. The page does not state who is eligible for each apartment type.
Family and graduate apartments (per month, per unit)
Rates run from $605 for a studio at Terrace to $1,175 for a three-bedroom at Valley Crest or Yakama. Examples include a one-bedroom flat at Kamiak for $695 and a two-bedroom flat at Steptoe for $938. Utilities included differ by complex: Kamiak and Terrace include heat, Steptoe includes steam heat and hot water, and Valley Crest includes heat, hot water and electricity.
Residence halls and the live-in requirement
The 2026-27 policies say the resident meal plan is a required part of the housing and dining contract, with a base cost currently $995 a semester plus a Dining Dollars level you choose. First-year students are subject to a First Year Live-in Requirement, and residents who are not subject to it are exempt from the required meal plan. The contract covers the whole 2026-27 academic year, with spring contract charges starting on 6 January 2027. The policies document lists no room rates or deposit, so check WSU Housing for current hall rates.
I have not quoted off-campus rents in Pullman or ranked neighbourhoods, because I could not verify them. If you rent privately, view the property in person or on a live video call, get a written lease and never pay before you have one. Before you commit, read our guide to university halls versus private housing, the checklist of what to look for before you sign and our safety guide. For other Pacific Northwest cities, see our guides to Seattle, Portland and Eugene, or browse all student accommodation in the United States.
