I used to live in Pullman for a very long time, so if you have any questions about the place, I have answers.

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.

I am going for physics. My main two things I am curious about is if it is a party schiol like I hear and whether or not pullman feels like a small town. I have looked it up on wikipedia and it seems to be kind low on the population. Oh, and is there lots to do there other than go to walmart?
Well, you will definitely not be short on parties, if you want to attend them. The Greek life is active, and even aside from that there are a lot of house parties on College Hill. The town is not exactly jam-packed full of things to do outside of that, but it's not entirely lacking either; there are some good coffee shops, and decent bars everywhere. The nice thing about the town is that it's only a couple miles wide (and most of the people you'll ever meet live on College Hill or Military Hill, which are right next to each other) so you can walk anywhere at any hour. Ultimately, though, it depends on the kind of thing you like to do; if you don't like to party, it can be the sort of town where you have to make your own fun. Everything that isn't a bar closes around 10, too.
That said, Moscow, ID is eight miles away (with a good highway and a very well-maintained bike trail) and is a much cooler town. If you can't find anything interesting in Pullman, there's usually something going on in Moscow that you'll like. One thing I can't speak to in either town is the Magic scene, if you still play; I'm sure it still goes on, but there's no good card store around or anything of that sort.
As for small town: well, yes and no. Pullman's population is extremely seasonal; during the school year there are always people walking the streets, always activity, always lots of things going on. During breaks, and especially during the summer and the Christmas break, the town really vanishes, to the extent that you can pretty much walk down the middle of the highway going through town and not worry about cars. But living in what is definitely considered a small town right now (population ~1000) I can tell you it certainly doesn't have that deadly "small town" feel to the same degree.

I just officially accepted my offer to the University of Minnesota!
That's funny, because I accepted an offer from UMN the other day too.
Congratulations!
