    Am learning a lot

    Excellent Academics. My first year here helped me to grow a great deal intellectually, personally, and spiritually. The core (required classes for all undergrads) may seem too extensive but, believe me, they truly do help to create in you a balanced and well rounded person. Plus you will be opened up to new ideas that you would have never otherwise explored.
    Am enjoying being here

    This is a complicated question so I will address it in two separate areas: socially and academically.

    Socially, I have not had a very great time at Seattle University. Because it is a private Jesuit college, there is a very large population of students from very privileged backgrounds. Being peers with people from wealthy families who went to private school their entire lives is frustrating because their views of what the reality of life is is very limited. Many of them don't work in college (and many more hadn't ever worked before) and for many of these same people school is not their priority. Seattle University students are very caught up in being glamorous rather than focusing on their own growth and benefiting from the great opportunities Seattle U has to offer.

    Academically, SU has been great, as described above. The reason I have rated this area as 4 stars is because I believe that, though the social situation at SU is not what I would have wanted, for college academics trump whatever the attitudes and experiences of the students are. In encouraging me to pursue my passion of Social Work, connecting me with the community, and further opening my mind, SU has exceeded my expectations.
    Bang for the buck

    I know of only one student whose parents literally write him at $12,000 check each quarter for him to attend. Seattle U is very generous in its aid packages. Most students who are very middle-of-the-road as far as criteria for scholarships get around $15,000 in GRANTS from SU (money that does not need to be paid back). Furthermore SU has a huge excess of work-study jobs so these are very easy to find if you get on the search early on. Though SU has not been EASY for me to afford, it has been much more so for me than it would have been at any other private college. In fact, it was cheaper for me than the public University of Washington was.
    Tips for prospective students

    -Apply for the Sullivan Scholarship (competition to select 9 students to award full-rides to in each incoming class).

    -Apply for PLENTY of outside scholarships. Though SU gives generous grants, they have few supplementary scholarships available until students are Juniors. Without outside scholarships, SU would have still been out of reach for me even with their assistance.

    -Find a job early, preferably before even moving to Seattle. You will be hurting if you wait until Winter Quarter to work.
    Great for these types of students

    SU is great for students who are

    Passionate: if you know what you are interested in and Seattle U provides a program in it, they will be very helpful in directing and giving you opportunities to expand.

    Directed: Students who are driven, actually want to be at college (aren't there just because they're supposed to be) and have goals will find a great resource in the school.

    Mature: SU spends a lot of time babying students who have honestly had too much provided to them. Students who enter as adults (in mindset/behavior, not age) will flourish and be independent, leaders, and develop great connections with the great faculty and staff there.

    Unconventional: Students who are questioning, challenge the status quo, and desire something other than the typical go to college to make a lot of money path will find encouragement at SU. Seattle University roots its education in opposition to any kind of oppression and will encourage you to pursue whatever you are passionate about regardless of its social acceptability. SU helps to make its students thinkers and challengers to confront the issues of the world, rather than be complacent.

    The low rating is only because I am in the Mateo Ricci program for humanities. My core, which substitutes the normal core, is philosophy based. Although some philosophy classes are challenging due to written assignments, they are all opinion based. As long as you can support your opinion in an intelligent manner, it isn't difficult.


    I am still taking some pre-req classes for the business school, which I really enjoy. These classes are challenging and support the business school's reputation as the best in the state. I would recommend all the professors I have had for all 4 of those classes.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love it at SU. Your professors actually know who you are and go out of their way to make themselves available. They will often give out their home phone number. If you desire small class sizes, this is the place for you. I have never had a class of more than 30.


    Socially, SU is a little different. Imagine every outsider at your high school who didn't quite fit in. That is 90% of the student population. The other 10% are student athletes. As a Conservative, the extremely left-wing atmosphere has taken some getting used to. If you are like me, either be an athlete or make friends with them fast if you want to be around normal people. SU parties are small but it is worth it because everyone there is your best friend. If you are seeking a more intense, underage nightlife, University of Washington is right down the street. Ladies will have no problems getting into frat parties but guy might want to establish some connections.

    Regardless of friends, the city is a fabulous location. You can never be done exploring. It is a one of a kind place for work and play.
    Bang for the buck

    The small class sizes make it all worth it. Plus, the housing and classrooms are great. With the exception of the Administration building, they are up to date and look really professional. Friends who visit my dorm are always jealous of how nice they are and that we have a sink in the room. On-campus housing is awesome!
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you have seen the campus and attended some classes before you commit. My room mate didn't and was really surprised when she showed up on move-in day.

    Make sure you have enough money on your meal plan

    Ask current students what they like and dislike about the school

    Don't be afraid to pry all over campus on your visit. You won't stick out, and just ask if you get lost. Everyone is very willing to help you out.
    Great for these types of students

    -homosexual or questioning
    -Indie and urban style
    -Liberals
    -Eco-friendly
    -people who can tolerate athletics sharing the school. We are going Division 1!

    Am learning a lot

    It is EASY to learn in a school that has--at the most--32 students in each class. ALL of my teachers were more than willing to help me with homework, essays, and any other questions i may have has

    As long as you are willing to do the work (which is mostly reading and a few essays) you will get a lot out of your college experience at Seattle University. There are several places to study and more than enough places to help you succeed in college, such as the Writing Center in the library and the Learning Center in Loyola (the Learning Center has a tutor for almost EVERY subject). No matter what you weakness, Seattle University will do it's best to get you through college!
    Am enjoying being here

    They have encouraged me to step outside my box and go some things i may not have even tried. i have gone to a few basket ball games, 2 plays at the Seattle Rep Theatre, 3 museum visits and some public readings at Town Hall.

    The campus is beautiful! There isn't a spot on campus that isn't designed for the student. Some of my favorite places are the ones I discovered while walking through the smaller parks. There are many places to study as well. After next year the New University library will be completed, not to say that the current library isn't a wonderful resources, because it is.

    You are sure to like all of the people. I am a commuter student, and even though i am not living in the dorms i have met a lot of people through the collegia program, which offers places for commuting students to study, have lunch, or just hang out.
    Bang for the buck

    Seattle University is an expensive school, but they are also very generous with financial awards. Try to get as many scholarships as you can. If you are planning to stay on campus remember that the university offers FREE Room and Board if you decide to become a Resident Assistant after spending at least One year in the dorms. Also remember that scholarships are not limited to high school senior and that there is always a scholarship you qualify for.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come to the school if you can! You will learn a lot more from being here than looking at the school through your computer screen. Take a campus tour, and talk to some of the student you see on campus. Most of them will be more than happy to talk to you and share there experiences.
    Great for these types of students

    Any one who...
    Wants to be a part of a community
    wants to be MORE than just a number at a University
    enjoys the city life
    is looking for a great, and I mean GREAT college experience

    P.S...If your thinking I don't know if i should be going to a Catholic College THINK AGAIN! I'm not religious, and I have yet to feel uncomfortable at Seattle University. They are not going to try to convert you. Only ask you to try new things, take advantage of all opportunities, and learn with an open heart.

    Am learning a lot

    I would have given 5 stars to this question, but I am an older student and have studied a lot on my own before attending.
    Even with that I am having a blast in my classes. The business courses have been wonderful. If you do the work--homework, read--you will have few problems. Professors go out of their way to be helpful and make assignments topical. They often bring in articles, web info, etc that relates to what you are covering.
    All professors are major accessible. Home phone numbers and extra office hours are common, even for core courses. Learning Center, and other resources are available if you need help in any topic.
    Am enjoying being here

    No, I would say I love it! I have lived n Seattle for ten years before attending SU, and not a city person. Through SU I am actually starting to love being in Seattle.
    I have gone to some basketball games, a fashion show, two concerts, and other activities. I am a member in several clubs and find new people to meet and hang with almost daily. I am a commuter student and enjoy the collegia. It is a great place to chill between classes, study, or visit with new friends.
    I have found new places in Seattle to try and explore through friends on campus. SU has actually made city living fun for a non-city person, a major achievement.
    I'm having more fun than my friends that are going to U of Washington.
    Bang for the buck

    OK so it can be expensive to attend a first tier, private university. However, SU gives many scholarships and grants. Apply to them. All of them. If it weren't for the scholarships I would not be able to attend, but SU offered me a much better aid package then UW. I do have some loans, but it will work out to be less then what it took getting my AA.
    There are lots of work study opportunites, and within walking distance there are lots of businesses. So if you need to you can find something. It is worth checking into, both aid and jobs. SU has a great finacial aid office and career center where they will go out of their way to help you. So don't hesitate to ask.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. Come check out campus.
    2. Do a tour--and ask questions.
    3. Talk to students--ask for what they like and dislike.
    4. Listen--students will tell you honestly what they think.
    5. Talk to a professor or two. They are all very approachable.
    6. If you can sit in on a class in your program of study. I have seen other students do this, and it can give you an idea of what the work level is like.
    7. Look around--SU is by far the most goregous campus I have ever been on.

    Great for these types of students

    If you are looking for direction. If you are passionate about a topic/cause.
    Ready to learn and take action. SU is not great if you want to sit there like a lump.
    You want city environment and lots to do. Eager to succeed.

    Am learning a lot

    Though there is a very long core program where students are required to take classes that have nothing to do with their major (I'm an art major and I had to take a chemistry class) there are times where I've been able to use what I've learned in my core classes in my major classes. Once you start your major classes, advisors and professors are very helpful and only want to see you succeed.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have met my best friends here. There is so much going on around campus and being so close to down town helps keep social lives versatile. It's nice to have a small campus in a large city becasue I feel like the city is an extension of campus.
    Bang for the buck

    At times I wonder where all my tuition money is going. I am often frustrated by the large number of students on such a small campus and the lack of areas to study and the overcrowed food areas. However, it is nice to see the campus being updated and expanding and I like knowing that I am beign a part of a campus changing for the better.
    Tips for prospective students

    Though Seattle U is a Catholic/Jesuit school don't let that scare you. The school can be as religious as you make it and it can be any religion you want. The school makes a big deal about diversity and does a good job of offering alternatives to not only religious clubs and sermons, but race, gender, and sexual orientation as well.

    I have intellectually grown SO much here. I had always heard that college was extremely difficult and people just had tons of homework but never really learned anything. This isn't the case. I have learned so much and I am only in my second quarter here. Don't be surprised if your professors give you their phone number so you can reach them at anytime.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being here so much. It's amazing because you are in the middle of this huge city, but when you are on campus you feel like you are a part of a smaller community and family. Everyone smiles and acknowledges each other on campus. There are always activities that are being put on by SU that are actually really fun!
    Bang for the buck

    Seattle University is very expensive, but I have to say that it's worth it. It is a great education, and an amazing experience.
    Tips for prospective students

    Work hard! You only take three classes a quarter, but that's because they are all five credits which means that they are a larger workload than most other schools. All of my classes have been amazing so far though and all of the professors are incredibly accessible for students to talk to.
    Great for these types of students

    I think this university is great for someone who wants to be a part of a smaller community but at the same time a part of something that is much bigger. If you want to be more than just a number at a school, come to Seattle University. All of my professors know me by name and the largest class I've had was 28 people and the smallest was 12.

    Seattle University is full of hardworking enthusiastic professors who breathe life into dry material. It houses some truly fantastic minds, students and staff, and allow many opportunities for its students to succeed. It has been a great experience attending this school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get a bus pass! Ditch your car. If you aren't a commuter student, your car will be a hassle, looking for parking. On-campus housing is spendy but convenient.
    Academic Rigor

    I am enrolled in a graduate program and have found it rigorous but fair. It is indicative of the field, after all, and what better way to be tested for the real world?
    Dorm Life

    Honestly, I didn't partake of this, but many of my friends had positive experiences with this. Living in Seattle, the heart of the urban sprawl - very exciting!
    Food and Dining

    The food is excellent. Many health-conscious choices. The campus banned the sale of bottled water on-campus, making it eco-friendly, too!
    What to do for fun

    I enjoyed just strolling the campus, meeting up with friends at Starbucks or Subway across from campus, or drinks at Jimmy's on the corner of Madison & Broadway.
    Bang for the buck

    A private school education can be very expensive, but Seattle University hasn't been overly so. Also, I feel that the quality of the classes more than makes up for it.

    Seattle University is a great school for people who want to focus on their academics. There are professors who aren't amazing, but as you take more challenging courses they typically become better. Of course, there are always issues with the bureaucracy of the school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Become engaged in your community immediately, it's the best way to make new friends and enjoy your time.
    Academic Rigor

    Some of the classes are no more difficult than something you took in high school. But as you take harder classes the work-load also increases.
    Dorm Life

    Very cramped living. Students signed up for doubles and the majority ended up in efficiency triples. Different buildings offer different ammenities.
    Food and Dining

    AMAZING food, not at all like the typical college food. The on-campus food service is constantly improving what they do so that the food they produce is better for you and better for the environment. The only drawback is the required meal plans for certain years, the food is also really pricey.
    What to do for fun

    Lots of things to do in Seattle, unfortunately many things can be expensive. You just have to look things up and go explore.
    Bang for the buck

    In my personal experience the school is way overpriced for what I have recieved.
    Great for these types of students

    Just about any student can find their place on campus, they just have to look into what they want out of their experience and plan accordingly.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is a club fair at the beginning of the year so that you can become involved in whatever interests you.
    Greek Life

    None.
    Campus Safety

    The Seattle U campus is extremely safe, especially in such an urban location. The Knight Hawk is an especially nice service that drives students around in a 6 block radius in the late night hours.

    It is challenging, to say the least. A jesuit school, that tries not to impress upon people it's own regilious background (however ethics and theology courses are required in the CORE studies). Overall a good, well-rounded school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Tip number one: if you are from places like California, Texas, Hawaii, Florida (like me) or any other place in which the hot climate never really changes, be prepared for a culture shock when you hit Washington. There's a reason why they call it the Seattle Freeze.
    Tip number two: choose your classes wisely. If you choose a class with a hard or boring professor, or even one you think you won't mesh with, GET OUT. Your GPA WILL suffer. You need to pick classes and a major/minor that you are truely interested, invested, and excited about. Don't try to make it work because I've tried that, and it is almost impossible to fake enthusiam and interest in an academic setting.
    Academic Rigor

    It is hard for me, I won't deny or try to sugar coat anything. I have friends currently taking the nurse program, and they study night and day. The academics here are challenging, but usually teach you things you want to learn, and will be able to use in the furture. Just choose your classes wisely!
    Dorm Life

    I personally live off campus, which is a whole other ball game. But I've heard from other classmates and friends that the dorms are pretty laid back. The students here are not the students gone wild that you see with larger universities. More students here are hard workers, and it's evident around the campus and the dorms.
    Food and Dining

    The food is pretty good. It's from BON APPETITE, and tastes sort of like the chef's apprentice's food rather then the chef himself. Expensive, though, if you live off campus like I do and don't have a meal plan. Most students on meal plans usually have left over money and have their friends dine with them the last week of the quarter to use up all of the rest of their plan money (because it doesn't roll over).
    What to do for fun

    Washington in general is great only because there are lots of outdoor activities to take part in (although not so fun to do so when it is raining). Seattle U's campus is on capital/first hill, which is great because there are lots of different businesses around to shop/eat/play. The campus itself has a brand new gym and library that are also fun to go to because they offer sort of out of the box things like workout dance classes, recreational activities (like hiking/rafting...off campus of course), and a media department of the library that you can record music in (so I've heard).
    Campus Safety

    Seattle U's location is great because it is in the city, but the city is also alive. There is crime, just like in any other city. However, Seattle U has it's own public safety department complete with officers (some students and others non-student). Overall, its a pretty safe environment on campus. I've been attending school here for two years now, and I haven't had any major brushes with criminals, and I commute back and forth to school everyday.

    Seattle University is a great option for students interested in International Studies. Because it is a private college, students get more one on one attention and support from well-educated professors. SU offers a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities to further one's education and global awareness.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come and take a tour of the campus! The campus is cozy, high-tech and well-situated within the beautiful city of Seattle. The classes are small, so the student to professor ratio is 1:13 and the classes within each major are interesting, challenging and well-worth the effort.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria is huge with many options including a breakfast bar, soup and salad bar and four stations of different ethnic foods. There are also two cafes on campus that serve great coffee, snacks, soups, salads and sandwiches.
    What to do for fun

    There are two parks on campus where during warmer days, people get together to play games and sports. The new gym is state-of-the-art and for $30 per month, any student can join and take classes or workout. SU is in the Capital Hill neighborhood where there are lots of cafes, restaurants, shops and nightlife.
    Bang for the buck

    Because of the high academic standards, highly educated professors, personal attention, beautiful campus and Seattle location, SU is the best in the Pacific NW!
    Great for these types of students

    SU is perfect for students who want to live in a big/little city, who like a smaller campus and more personal attention, who want the option to engage in Jesuit tradition/activities, and who are looking for a well-rounded education of the whole person.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are events daily. There are too many clubs, plays, concerts and informational/interesting seminars/speakers to list. There are also five collegiums, a game room and an amazing library to hang out in.
    Campus Safety

    There are email reports of any issues on or near campus, officers who will walk you to your car or anywhere else on campus if need and they are available and quick to help.

    Food and Dining

    Plenty of locations on campus to get delicious meals, and the school is dedicated to health and sustainability in their food production and preparation methods.
    What to do for fun

    Seattle U is located in downtown Seattle. There's tons of things to do for fun.
    Bang for the buck

    Seattle U, being private, is a very expensive school, but in return you get tons of easily accessible resources to take advantage of to make your educational experience the best it can be.

    Am learning a lot

    At Seattle University you will not only learn a lot in the classroom but also outside of it. Seattle University has great classes and professors that care about you and do their best to ensure you're learning, you also have to put forth effort to learn of course.

    Also if you join a student club or get involved in the school you will learn a lot from your fellow classmates and the members of the community in the areas of your interests. It's an excellent school if you wish to learn in and out of the classroom.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take the first quarter to get used to the college environment then get involved in a club by the end of your first quarter so you can begin expanding your network.

    Tips for prospective students

    Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. -Judy Garland

    People at SU really are themselves, and others respect that. The people who get made fun of the those who are trying to put on a persona that just isn't real.
    Great for these types of students

    Those who love being in the center of an urban environment will thrive here. Capitol Hill is a diverse and varied neighborhood that is great for hanging out and exploring. Be prepared to work hard in your classes, but know that professors are reasonable with the amount of work assigned. Come here if you have an inquisitive mind and thrive on class discussions!
