Thinking about attending there. Already in the middle of applying there too.

I love Seattle. Great music, beautiful architecture, great skiing within a reasonable proximity. I'm from Portland so it really has that "home away from home" feel. I love the concept of going to a school in a city too. Seattle University seems right for me location wise because of those reasons.

What do the local Washingtonians think about it? I've done research on the demographics and all, but whats it like going to school there? Just wanna get an idea for what it's like being a student there. I'd be going into Mechanical engineering there too if that matters. Whether you're a student there or not, I value your opinion.

Thanks guys

A. So the covers don't fall through at an angle
B. So there's no sharp point when cars are driving over them.



C. Am I interviewing for Google?

Duh, if you live in Seattle you have to either work for Microsoft, Boeing, Google, or Starbucks. All other businesses are just subsidiaries of these 4~

Don't mind Scott. He's just unhappy because he's emaciated from too much school and Mountain Dew.

I'm sure Literature already told you to PM powderhound100 and vandersteeze. I myself am a product of Seattle University and really enjoyed the school. On the skiing side there are a couple good resorts nearby; Snoqualmie is about 45 minutes away and last I heard most of the crew from SU were considering getting passes there. Stevens Pass is another great resort that's about 90 minutes away. Literature also works there and he's quite the legit young man/poet/scholar.

The school itself is in the middle of a great deal of transition. The school has focused considerable money on pomp and athletics which is great if you are into sports. The new library is quite legit though. Which program are you going into? Or have you decided yet? If you are a Premajor I highly recommend talking to your academic adviser. Mine did me a world of good.

One thing to know about SU is that they are Jesuit and have a core curriculum which includes two philosophy classes and two theology classes in addition to one year of language and a few others (math, english, science). I enjoyed the core curriculum a great deal, but I was an English major and enjoyed writing papers. You can make the classes as hard or as easy as you want by picking certain professors. I think the Arts/Humanities programs at SU are great. Ask powderhound100 about business or vandersteeze about Engineering.

The school's Jesuit identity is omnipresent but not overbearing. You can find religion or ignore it as you like.

Feel free to PM me as well about the school.

I go to Seattle prep, which is the sister school/high school for SU. I had a chance to go there for my senior year of hs, but didn't. It looks like a really cool school though. Not too far from the center of Seattle, close to Capitol hill and broadway, and Seattle is a cool place to live. It is a Jesuit school, which is actually fine, not overbearing on the religious aspects. It's a somewhat smaller school, but if it has something you like or are interested in, I would definitely recommend checking it out

homeless people don't kill you they just pass out in your yard. the campus is nice, outdoor program is good, and tacoma has a good vibe. Plus there's shakabrah and metronome is a solid coffee shop (with a fucking pancake machine that just cranks out perfect pancakes all day)
