I've changed majors a few times, and each department has been AMAZING! I love the people at SPU; the faculty are incredibly dedicated to what they do and to their students. I've always been able to find help when I have questions, and the professors know me. It's a great feeling to walk down the hall and be able to drop into a prof's office just to say hi and see how their week is going. They really care about their students, and it shows. I have felt so supported as a student, in my faith, and even in personal struggles. There are a ton of resources on campus for students to use, but I don't think they use them as much as they should. (Tutoring, counseling center, career counseling....etc). Professors, again, are amazing about this too. I have found that if I have something I want to do, or if I have an idea, all I have had to do is ask. Somebody has been willing to help me meet my goals, and has been there to challenge me and provide guidance each time. I have met some wonderful friends here at SPU. There are a lot of events and clubs to get involved in. Sometimes it can be overwhelming trying to choose, but there really is something for everybody. There's always events in the dorms too. Living off campus can make it more difficult to get involved, but it's something that they are trying to work on and this has been improving each year. The people here are genuine. Though SPU is a lot of money, they have been really generous in giving scholarships. I find the money completely worth it for the support and opportunities I have been given. I wouldn't not even consider going to another school because this one has been everything that I could have asked for, everything that I needed, and so much more. My advice: visit campus and talk with a prof or students- ask tons of questions. Once you're here, get to know your profs and pick something to get involved in. The faculty are passionate about what they do and care about students- so get to know them. I really have very few complaints about SPU..... and nothing major enough to mention here. I'm getting a quality education, I've never felt like a "number" in class, and I feel like I am respected, challenged, and encouraged to dream big. This is everything I could have asked for.

This school blows. The campus life is really subdued and somewhat suffocating, mostly due to the type of person who chooses the school, the strict no alcohol policy (even off campus--they actually try to enforce this), and the noise restrictions of the snooty queen anne neighborhood. Night life is boring as hell. The school is not worth the money unless you are a nursing, pre-med, or business major. Tuition/room/board is $35k/yr. It is NOT WORTH IT. The money doesn't go to improve programs, but rather to build the endowment and raise professor salaries (they are pitifully low at present moment). The president and administration have somewhat archaic values and are very concerned that the school uphold its Christian image, which can be hypocritical and at odds with what values most of the professors actually profess.

I didn't want to be forced to go to chapel everyday. SPU does not have any requirements for chapel, but almost all the classes have some faith added in. Be aware that it is EXTREMELY hard to transfer in and out. I loved the faculty and some of the people. The biggest problem is the lack of communication. No one quite knows what's going on. Overall I never wished I had gone to another school, just wished that this one is cheaper. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Education Quality: B- Have a Question?

Diversity is to be found if you don't hang out in one group. You just have to branch out. Racial diversity is a little scarce...most people are caucasian. I absolutely love this university. The teachers will personally invest in your life, and they are willing to take time out of their days to talk about yours. The campus is beautiful. The city is fantastic. There is something fun to do every night. (If you know the right people).... The education is good for a Christian school. SPU teaches you how to think and challenge yourself.
