The worst thing about the school is the tuition cost; however the experience, friends, and knowledge definitely make it worth while!

The worst thing I consider about my school is the price and how expensive it is. It has been my dream for the past three years to attend this school and I am afraid I will not be able to finish, or will finish my education in debt. I financially cannot afford that.

Since I have moved to Seattle and started to attend school at Seattle Pacific University, I have loved every moment of it. If it came down to one thing that I don't like about this university, it would have to be the usage of the G-D word. I have never liked that word, and I do not like to hear it. I have heard this word a lot now that i have been to this college which is weird with it being a Christian university.

The worst thing about my school is probably out-of-state students feeling left out. A lot of the students are from same high schools and already have a group of friends. It's hard to fit into those groups since they seem to be somewhat closed off and exclusive.

The worst thing about the University of washington (where is graduated in 2011) is that it is such a large school. You can really just skate on by, and not get involved. You can just blend into the wood work and no one really notices. The one thing about Seattle Pacific University, where I will attend in the fall, is that it is really expensive.

There is nothing really bad about SPU; in fact, I love it! One thing that may be a deciding factor about coming to SPU or not is probably the amount of money you have to pay in order to attend the school. Your education and the experiences you have, though, are worth every penny you pay!

The worst thing about my school is that the weekends can often be boring. I think this is due to the amount of kids that go home on the weekends, and the lack of parties due to the lack of a greek system and because it's a Christian school. If you are looking to party, this is not the school. We have to get very creative to find stuff to do on weekend nights.

While Seattle Pacific University has an incredible atmosphere for learning and growth, it also faces the challenges of a small, private institution. Education at this school is extremely expensive, but also very well respected and valuable. The community also sometimes feels stifling to those who have differing views or opinions on things, because, as it is a small, Christian school, their are standards and beliefs which are upheld by faculty and the large majority of students. This can be challenging, but also can be the instigator of personal growth and development.

The overbearing administration. It doesn't allow a lot of diversity or open thought unless there is a large amount of protest to the contrary.

Personally I can't think of anything that is terrible about SPU, for the school seems to suit my needs and personality really well. Though like I said in the last question, it is really easy to become over-involved at SPU. In a sense it is not bad that we have a strong sense of community, however sometimes it can become a little overwhelming. There are so many options to get connected at SPU, wheras there is little publicity about opportunities to get invovled outside of the school.
