Review of Seattle University

from Seattle, WA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

It is EASY to learn in a school that has--at the most--32 students in each class. ALL of my teachers were more than willing to help me with homework, essays, and any other questions i may have has As long as you are willing to do the work (which is mostly reading and a few essays) you will get a lot out of your college experience at Seattle University. There are several places to study and more than enough places to help you succeed in college, such as the Writing Center in the library and the Learning Center in Loyola (the Learning Center has a tutor for almost EVERY subject). No matter what you weakness, Seattle University will do it's best to get you through college!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

They have encouraged me to step outside my box and go some things i may not have even tried. i have gone to a few basket ball games, 2 plays at the Seattle Rep Theatre, 3 museum visits and some public readings at Town Hall. The campus is beautiful! There isn't a spot on campus that isn't designed for the student. Some of my favorite places are the ones I discovered while walking through the smaller parks. There are many places to study as well. After next year the New University library will be completed, not to say that the current library isn't a wonderful resources, because it is. You are sure to like all of the people. I am a commuter student, and even though i am not living in the dorms i have met a lot of people through the collegia program, which offers places for commuting students to study, have lunch, or just hang out.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Seattle University is an expensive school, but they are also very generous with financial awards. Try to get as many scholarships as you can. If you are planning to stay on campus remember that the university offers FREE Room and Board if you decide to become a Resident Assistant after spending at least One year in the dorms. Also remember that scholarships are not limited to high school senior and that there is always a scholarship you qualify for.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come to the school if you can! You will learn a lot more from being here than looking at the school through your computer screen. Take a campus tour, and talk to some of the student you see on campus. Most of them will be more than happy to talk to you and share there experiences.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Any one who... Wants to be a part of a community wants to be MORE than just a number at a University enjoys the city life is looking for a great, and I mean GREAT college experience P.S...If your thinking I don't know if i should be going to a Catholic College THINK AGAIN! I'm not religious, and I have yet to feel uncomfortable at Seattle University. They are not going to try to convert you. Only ask you to try new things, take advantage of all opportunities, and learn with an open heart.
