If you are not a Christian, avoid coming to this school if possible!

Very smart, but somewhat opinionated. Good class and average workload.

SPU is a good school although it is not for everyone. Personally, I like the smaller school aspect since Seattle is such a big city. Plus you have the opportunity to develop meaningful professor-student relationships.

LOVE SPU

SPU is a great School in the heart of Seattle! The food gets a bit repetitive, but it makes up for that with a quality social and academic environment and a faculty and staff focused on helping students succeed.

Many of the people are rather spoiled and fake. Around 2/3 of the student population is female and many of the guys are effeminate hipsters. Cliquey and passive aggressive behavior is common. Overemphasis on religion in normal classes related to your major- takes away precious time and creates a huge bias / doesn't prepare them for the real world.

Academics here are great! Small classes, really genuine professors, and small campus. I have gotten a lot of opportunities here so far. Only issue I have is when I'm not studying, there's not much to do on campus--you have to go off to have fun! But this gave me a chance to explore Seattle which is fun!

Save your money. I attended here for Grad school and the administration is a joke. Its a shame because the teachers clearly care but the support system for students is nada.

Go to a state university. It will be more of a college experience, you will have a better time, and receive a better education.. not to mention, it will be much cheaper.

So far being at SPU my experiences has been really great. There are alway going to be a few people who get you down but that's true for wherever you go. The teachers here are really nice and want you to succeed. The location is great 10-15 bus drive from down town and you can go to so many different parks and food places around. Overall great!

It is a great school. You will know your surroundings. Teachers and students are friendly and open.
