Since I was from out of state (Texas) my first visit to SeattleU was during welcome week. I will be honest at first I wanted to run away and I was already thinking of transferring from the University. I'm a smart student but I also like to have fun, party and football. Basically I wanted my college to resemble those "National Lampoon" movies. To make matters worse I found out the school was a Jesuit school (which explains the party dilemma). However, things started to look great after a few weeks, I met really great friends, I soon got accepted into the college of Sci&Eng, and for parties I manage to find off campus parties. The best thing about SeattleU is the small class size-- a plus for science students. The professors are amazing at what they teach but that comes with a really bad grade if you screw up. The school makes the work of graduate school admission office so easy by challenging and eliminating students. My dream of Med school was crushed the first quarter (yes! we're on the quarter system!) of Gen Chemistry and I studied 15hours and right now I'm not even sure I can get into a Pharmacy school. So if you succeed at SU-- graduate school is free admission, trust me!! I usually don't comment on Social life because its your personality that dictates your surrounding. However I will give you a good demographics. The guys are the minority, only one third of the student body, most of them are in relationship, few are gay (a chance for you to experiment), most are Asian and White. The females are the majority at our school, and most of them are under 5 feet ( don't ask me why?). It seems as if all the good looking females, cheerleaders, hotties went to the major Universities and we're left with librarians. In conclusion, I recommend Seattle University for everyone who doesn't want to be just a number. They provide you with great financial aid, you get to live in greater Seattle and you will build great friends. However remember this it's not the admission office or "you" who decide the school it's the school itself. I hope this helped and if you need anymore advice I will leave my email.

They work hard as teams and manage well. One of the most pleasant is the attitude of the faculty. Always communicating and offering possibilities/alernatives and pulling out students to help them excel when they see potential. This is the type of college all parents dream of for their kids to go. Some freshman, still interested in the college scene as far as partying and hooking up, will not be as intriqued with this school until they settle down to get the education. Downtown Seattle is walking distance, from the college, to so many of the cities historic sites and eateries. Every corner is completed with a coffee shop. There are people everywhere, all of the time. It is a very diverse city and very open and acceptable city. If you can't find something to do or someplace to go, you are just not getting outside of your home/dorm/apt.I would consider this college and city a fabulous opportunity for anyone looking to evolve!

I am not catholic, but only about 20% of the student body is. So between life experience and previous school I feel fairly well prepared for SU. Advice: Any college is going to be what you make of it. Those that complain about nothing to do are lazy. Those that claim that Su is not diverse are blind. SU happens to be the most diverse in the Pacific Northwest, by a large percent compared to UW, WWU, etc. So if you want more activity when you live on/near campus get out and meet people. Study groups, volunteer groups, sports, you name it SU has it. And if they don't start a group. It is not for the student that wants to sit back and snooze. Classes are small and professors will notice if you slack. But it is also not overwhelming in most classes. If things get tough SU offers tons of help--tutors, professors are very accessible. The campus is goregous. On nice weather days find a spot to sit outside and enjoy the beauty. Maintance takes their job seriously and works to keep things in shape. Yes, to find eve entertainment may take a little work. But buses run right past the university, and they have shuttle service for sports games, like Men's basketball. Also shuttles are offered for traveling to and from the airport if you are going out of town for breaks. You can get discount/free tickets to shows, and events around Seattle--usually through Student Services. I have only completed one quarter at SU, but can't wait for winter quarter to begin. The people are friendly and involved. The students, most of them, want to learn and take part in what is going on. There are tons of opportunites for interships, work study, and study aboard. Food is a mixed bag, but there are tons of eateries in walking distance--many give student discounts. Su also offers better finacnial aid packages then other Northwest Universities. Much better. UW runs close to $41,000 a year--SU is $31,000 and offers big aid package.Su is for students wanting more than a cattle call experience. If you want to be spoon feed info, or want to only party then by all means aviod SU. If you want to be invloved in classes, campus, and the world all I can say is welcome to Seattle U.
