University of Idaho, Research university in Moscow, Idaho, US.
The University of Idaho is a research institution in Moscow, Idaho, with ten academic colleges including law and music programs. The campus holds several hundred structures across an extensive site in the northwestern part of the state.
Founded in the late 19th century, this institution remained the only university in Idaho for more than seven decades. Other state universities in Idaho emerged only in the 1960s.
The campus sits in an area whose name derives from the French word paradise, referring to the rolling hills of the Palouse region. Students use the green spaces between buildings for outdoor recreation and group study, especially during spring and fall.
The institution operates several locations across northern Idaho, including sites in Coeur d'Alene, Boise, and Idaho Falls. Visitors to the main campus can find orientation maps at entrances and walk or bike between buildings.
The library holds the largest media collection in the state with over a million items. A university-run outdoor program organizes excursions into the surrounding Palouse landscape for hiking, climbing, and nature observation.
