Which types of students will excel at your college?
SPU is great for all types of students. We're actually very diverse and people from all over attend and it is very cool to see different cultures and being able to mingle with them.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
There are no dress codes as you are an adult now and your choices effect you as a person. Our school colors are burgundy and white and they're very wonderful.
Describe your college in three sentences.
SPU is a truly amazing school. Has a ton of different types of opportunities for everyone. Beautiful school as in the location, landscape and people are extremely welcoming.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is unfortunately no Greek life at all. As many private christan schools do not have.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
SPU is worth every penny. The campus is beautiful and well taken care of. The people and staff are wonderful and helpful. As your classes will be on the smaller side, you're able to actually get to know your professors and vice versa. The food on campus isn't bad, campus is small, but not too small. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk across campus, if that. SPU gets every bang out of our bucks.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I think for fun most students just sit outside and read or study as the campus has many different hidden nooks and cranies. Also, the campus is close to queen anne, which had a ton of things to do, as well as Fremont, which is just across the bridge. Many students like to venture and explore downtown Seattle, which is a truly incredible city.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is very good, I was honestly surprised as I was expecting typical cafeteria food, but proved wrong. There are also many different places you could go to eat with different options.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Intermerals are very big, as well as our soccer and basketball teams. There are many clubs to be a part of. It's a great way to get to meet new people who have similar interests as you whether it be sports, hobbies, and majors.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus security is great. You'll always see them driving around and don't hesitate to help anyone from danger or if they're hurt and on crutches, they'll give you a ride. I feel extremely safe. I also like how there are 2 numbers, one for a real emergency and another for other issues such as locked out of the building, crutches, so on.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Every dorm does a welcoming traditions, and every one is different. Each floors do different holiday traditions as well, such as my dorm floor did a Christmas morning tradition with an early rise, story telling and breakfast. Also, many dorms do a tradition with big sisters, which are the upper classmen for the freshmen, and it's super cute. They leave you notes to wake up to and gave you presents for Christmas. In the middle of the square, which ironically is a circle, if you stand in the middle and clap, it squeaks. As well as there's a little circle where if you face the square hole in the wall, it echos. Very neat and fun to find new hidden quirks.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I have just finished my first quater of living in a dorm. I live in a triple, meaning I have 2 roommates and I honestly wouldn't change a thing. I love the family feel of the floor as well as a dorm hall. Every dorm is different in many different ways. But the school Des a fairly good job of matching you in the place to best suit you.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I hightly recommend planning a visit to get the full feel and experience of our beautiful campus. Also, as it is a private school, it is very expensive, but truly worth it. I would just suggest you save as much money as possible, apply for all scholarships and grants that you qualify for, as every penny will surely count. SPU is Christan affiliated, but it's not required as all opportunities are there but everything is up to whether you want to be a part or not.
