Review of Bastyr University

from Lynnwood, WA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Bastyr University is a remarkable school, geared towards the health sciences. They promote a naturalistic view of just about anything you study there. The sense of community is possibly the best part, joining this school is like becoming a new member of a health oriented family.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Go to the admissions events, talk to current students, and most important of all walk the dozens of trails located around the campus! Staff and students are always looking for new and similar people to make friends with and help understand their own journey.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The curriculum can get intense with the heavy sciences, but the faculty does a good job of making every class fun and exciting! Also you might have a quarter with one very difficult class, but multiple easy and enjoyable classes. If you ever need help, classmates, professors, and tutors are at your disposal.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are beautiful and expansive. If you ever wondered what a sustainable dorm would look like, now you have your chance! Not to mention the abundance of nature that surrounds the dorms and the campus for exploring purposes.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The cafeteria at Bastyr University, is well known all throughout Washington for it exquisitely prepared meals and desserts. All from local and organic sources, and they have options that support whatever types of food sensitivities you might have. Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, or even straight up Carnivore!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Run and hike the abundance of trails that are located all around the campus, St. Edwards Park. Enjoy the herb and vegetable garden that envelops the lower field. Explore the exciting town of either Kenmore or Kirkland!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Those that have a passion for nature and people.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

The clubs are there, and their are many. From Ultimate Frisbee, to Yoga, if we don't have it, then you can make it.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Very safe, with security guards protecting the parking lots and more! Also being in a state park, you have the overall protection of park rangers.
