The community at SPU is amazing; I wouldn't trade these friendships for anything. The education is top-notch and it is located just north of Seattle in a nice area called Queen Anne, which is mostly residential area with streets for grocery shopping, coffee shops, and hardware stores, so it's a small town feel. Ten minutes or so away, however, is dowtown Seattle, full of amazing opprotunities for art, music, shopping, and overall culture. The location of Seattle Pacific is a perfect spot.

The University is just the right size, it's religously affliated and is located in Seattle! Seattle is one of the top cities in the US, and it is about 10 minutes from downtown Seattle. Seattle is amazing! The school is located in the cozy Seattle neighborhood of Queen Anne, it's pretty much in the middle of everything. You have easy access through the nearby buslines and bike paths to the surrounding Seattle districts like Fremont, Queen Anne, Ballard and Downtown Seattle which are definitely a treat to explore! I love it!

The professors are loyal to engaging our culture and changing the world, they care about us on a personal level and want us to succeed. The major I am apart here is completely unique to any school I believe. The Global Development studies major allows us students to understand extreme world poverty and looks out how we've failed in the past with foreign aid so we can learn from our mistakes. The Professor who designed the major ties in her faith with what we are doing, and I believe it makes the major incomparable.

The school I attend is unique in that the classroom sizes are very small and intimate, the professors are willing to work with you to higher your grade or understand the curriculum more efficienty, and the Christian atmosphere provides a universal community striving to live for the Lord.

SPU is one of the few Christian schools located in the heart of a large urban city. Because of its location, many opportunities exist for pursuing our school's mission, which is to "engage the culture and change the world." The community is tight-knit, and few leave feeling unwelcome. SPU places great emphasis on quality relationships as well as personal motivation and independence.

SPU is a safe, quiet, and beutiful campus?5 minutes away from downtown Seattle. SPU is all about location. Situated on a pretty canal, city traffic is siphoned off away from campus. We're within walking distance of the eccentric Freemont neighnborhood AND the charming Queen Anne neighborhood?both of which have years worth of food and activities to explore. Then there's Downtown Seattle with the professional sports, world-class theatre scene, breathtaking Puget Sound scenery, and endless cultural and service experiences. A little further and you've got the cascade mountains packed with outdoors stuff to do....

It is very community focused and driven to engage the larger culture around it. With this outreach focus you also get a rigorous education and a degree that means something when you graduate.

This was a much smaller school than other schools I considered. This means smaller class sizes. Since I would be in classes with less people, I felt like I could have a better relationship with my professors and feel comfortable asking them questions or seeking help when I needed it. This gives me a better learning experience and helps me to understand all of the information they are trying to teach.

This school has a focus on preparing students to make a meaningful difference in the world. It has a distinctly evangelical identity, but is accepting and tolerant of students from many denominations and religious affiliations.
Selina
It's a small, Christian school with an amazing faculty that asks students to think; they don't simply dump information into your head
