What kind of person should not attend Seattle Pacific University?

This school is very strict on living expectations in the dorms. Anyone who is looking for the typical college experience of getting drunk and partying everynight will not find that here. Students are required to sign a contract at the beginning of the year stating they will not participate in any substance use, and if they are caught doing so the student will be fined.

This is not a party school. Students who are looking for nothing but partying, drinking and smoking should not go here. They will be more of an outcast. Some studies do party but it is not the norm. All other students would feel welcome at this school, no matter their background, study habits and religious affiliation.

I find that as long as individuals desire to engage in the culture and change the world, they share the vision of Seattle Pacific University. I do not recommend SPU to individuals that are not willing to accept all people as they are, work hard, or to use their degrees to make a contribution to their fellow mankind. Regardless, all are welcome at SPU. The accepting, warm community of SPU welcomes all individuals to engage in healthy relationships as well as challenges individiuals to develop self-awareness and a new found emotional intelligence.

I don't think I would say any type of person SHOULDN'T attend this school. It's really diverse and I see all types of people here.

The type of person who should not attend this school is a person who is looking to join the Greek system, which we do not have on campus. Some students attending SPU are not religious, but if people are easily offended by conversations about Christianity then this may not be the best place for them, even though al religions are welcomed. Along with that, if a person does not enjoy living on a floor with only their same gender peers then SPU might not be the best choice.

Michael

People who like to party and do illegal substances should not attend this school because it is generally discouraged and takes away from learning.

Anna

People that are not religious and have no will to take part in activities or classes related to religion should not come here. With this in mind, people that have views contradictory to the Bible may find it difficult to fit in here or enjoy many of the classes. Also, girls looking for someone to marry should DEFINATELY not bother apply to Seattle Pacific University.

Kirsten

People who love the rain, coffee, deep thinking, engaging their culture, and working to make a positive change in the world. This school is full of people who love each other and desperatley want to make a differance. The faculty here also suppport that mission and the university as a whole is very focused on not only the development of thier students, but the community around them.

Any person who is intolerant of Christian ideals. It's a Christian university after all. Also, it's is a pretty small campus so someone who needs an abundance of updated resources wouldn't like it here.
