    I am slightly biased in this matter because I have the strong belief that all universities are incredibly overpriced. However, it is worth it for a smaller school, I love the sizes of the classrooms. I do not want to be drowned out by hundreds of students which is in no way a problem at UPS, the biggest class I have had had 36 students in it. I honestly love that about this school! And as aforementioned the professors do take the time to be there for you, all have posted office hours during which students are welcome to swing in for a chat. In addition if you're not getting the help you need from the professors, each department has a set of tutors available for even more extra help.

    While the school is expensive you will truly get an amazing education at Puget Sound. If you did well in high school they will be generous with their money as well so you will be able to come. They added on a work study for me when I asked too. They want to make sure that you can come and learn without worrying about the money.

    One big worry about Puget Sound is just how expensive it is- it's a pretty pricey school. But I think it's absolutely worth it. Puget Sound has not only become my school but my new home. The dorms are absolutely beautiful with spacious rooms, a kitchen in every building, and laundry on every floor. The class rooms and class buildings are fantastic and the cafeteria food is absolutely amazing. The sub is always serving a variety of dishes and has so many stations to chose from- I've never gotten bored of the food. Although UPS is expensive, it is more than worth it.

    Depending on if you get enough scholarships and find a part-time job, is definitely worth the time but college is always expensive.
