Seattle Pacific University Top Questions

Any person who loves to learn and enjoys the company of other good people. A Person that wants to feel like they are going to be noticed.

Someone who would like a safe enviroment that still has oppertunities where they would be challenged. Someone who is really to dive into community.

I would say a person who puts God first should come to this school, because it is a Christian University. I also think if someone isnt a christian they should come to this school if they are hard working and want to really engage as a student. SPU is very serious about graduating student of competence so i think people who come to SPU should really want to succeed and not party their way through college.

I believe any type of person can attend this school and be sucessful academically as well as relationally.

This is not a party school. Yes, we do socialize occassionally. There is not a Greek system or a bunch of clicks for people to join. We focus on academics and changing the world (starting with ourselves). It does have a high ratio of females over males, so that may be something to consider. I recommend this school to anyone who wants to suceed in their chosen field, but doesn't want to be miserable doing it.

open minded, with a willingness to listen to lectures about religion.

Spu houses students that are generally outgoing, and those who like to be challenged. SPU has great opportunities if you are willing to work hard and put the time in. Also it is a christian school so this gives a great opportunity to build on your faith as well.

SPU is the kind of place where anyone can fit in but the people certainly have something different about them. We're a campus of very caring, friendly people, many of whom really want to reach out and do great things in the world for others. There are many opportunities for students to get involved in service on campus and in surrounding the community, as well as in downtown Seattle. SPU is "the place where world change begins", the main focus of all major programs is to prepare its graduates to make a big change in the world.

The typical SPU person is one who adheres to the "cool" factor by the way they dress, the music they listen to, the coffee they drink, and the amount of money they have--which is a lot. The SPU-er should be ready to be faced with a lot of "Jesus-high" people who are overly optimistic on life and school, and are just so enthusiastic to help you fit in.

Students looking for small classes, professors who care and will give extra help, comfortable on christian based campus, in a small community, yet in the heart of a fun, big city, full of adventure and culture. SPU has excellent small groups, campus activities and competive programs and athletics on a beautiful campus, but does sometimes feel like a big high school full of rich white kids.
