Seattle University Top Questions

These two things are not necessarily bad but oftentimes the extremists are the loudest in the crowd. There are many liberal minds in Seattle and the Northwest in general is a very environmentally friendly place. But that does not mean that everyone here are hippies.

Compared ot the rural area that I'm from, it is indeed a very liberal area as well. There are lots of protests, rallies, and marches constantly going on. It is very multicultural, which makes for a very interesting atmosphere. There are a lot of different kinds of people to meet, and lots of places to go that are very different, most especially the international district. And yes, there are some people that you see that could be considered "hippies." But grunge doesn't define Seattle.

Liberal yes. Hippies no.

Yes.

My experience so far is that there is a range of students, some who are passionate about their classes or dedicated to doing well, and others who do only the minimum. Essentially, your going to get as much out of your education as you put in. The nice thing about SU is that the classes are very small so there exists the opportunity to learn and SU has some brilliant, amazing professors. As far as the disparity between straight boys to girls (I believe around a one to three ratio), its not really an issue.

Many stereotypes do end up to be somewhat true. There is always a little truth in falsehood.

Partly. There is definitely a lopsided gender ratio, and the LGBTQ club has a pretty big presence on campus, but I've met tons of cool, straight guys too.

Some people fit the bill, but the majority of the people here are really down to earth and welcoming and you can always find someone that you get along with. Also there are definitly parties, they're not just waiting for you though like fraternities. Also only about 34{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students here are Catholic and everyone is pretty liberal, especially being in Seattle.

There is some truth to the stereotypes; its hard to walk to class without seeing a hipster kid. The party scene is decent and those kids that crave more hit up UW frats. There are some good programs too, MRC college has 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} placement into law school.

The first two, no. The second two, yes. Sure, there are a ton of liberal tree-huggers at Seattle U (there are a lot of liberal tree-huggers in Seattle in general), but not everyone is. Republicans and conservatives feel totally comfortable here.
