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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
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.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
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.
Do you have any 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.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
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.
