Seattle Pacific University Top Questions

The "bubble" that surrounds the campus. It is sometimes very difficult to feel like you ever really get out into the "real" world. It's almost like the students and the campus are really self-involved, even though the school tries hard to push an "engage the culture" agenda.

That they have strict rules such as floor hours and no-drinking policies. It is nice because it keeps people from drinking or doing drugs in the dorms, but at times it is a bit extreme, especially for people over 21.

The cost.

The dorms are seperated by girl & boy and there are set curfew's for when the opposite gender can visit.
