Seattle Pacific University Top Questions

The community and small class sizes

It has really great food and a Christian community. I like that it is a small Christian school and you can get to know people really fast and be able to see them around the school. Plus there is a 4 to 1 girl to guy ratio!

The close knit community. I made life long friends in only a few short days! Everyone is so friendly and truly caring. The professors really care and are always willing to meet with you, whether its for class or just to get coffee and chat. Seattle is an incredible city to live in.

I brag mostly about how close I am with the girls on my floor. Obviously making friends is a huge part of college, and SPU's residence life is packed full of mixers, socials, and floor bonding activities. Geared toward people who want to do more in their life than party, each floor in the residence halls has their own crazy traditions that are too top secret to share! Plus, not only does SPU provide clubs and activities that help scared freshman fit in, but the Christian atmosphere helps students mature spiritually too as independent individuals.

Mainly how friendly our school is. Doors are always open in the dorms, people are always smiling and ready to hear about how my day was. The student body is extremly service focused, but knows how to have fun, without alcohol or any other substances. We are both athletically and academically highly competitive, (home to the XC national champion, as well as womans soccer national champs). The class sizes are small, with the average being right about 30 students per class. Professors are ready to help, and more then willing to go on a coffee date to discuss material.

I like everyone to know how welcoming and safe the Seattle Pacific University campus is. The faculty give students one-on-one attention any time we need it; whether it be for tutoring or one of life's little hitches, they are always available to help. The student body is very diverse, dedicated, and respectful. Here at SPU we really are "embracing culture and changing the world."

I brag to my friends about the sound teaching I receive from SPU, an education that is well-rounded and fair, being taught from diverse points of view and with a liberality of perspective.

Seattle Pacific is all about engaging the culture and changing the world. It's on our banners across campus, but students and staff take this seriously. The goal is not to live life in our little protected bubble. Whether it be serving the homeless in our city, travelling aborad to learn another culture or simply engaging in conversation with others from diverse backgrounds, the goal is to learn and serve. The programs and organizations give students the opportunity to do something bigger than themselves. Graduates are truly people of character and competence that go out to change the world.

The community and loyalty of the students
