Seattle Pacific University Top Questions

Everyone here is super nice and friendly for the most part, however, it may take time to realize that because, to me at least, there seem to be a large number of shy/introvert people here but once you start talking to them, you realize how awesome they are.

Students are from a number of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, with international students also increasing every year. There are more women then men, which students often joke about, calling it the "SPU ratio". Students are for the most part welcoming, engaging, and fun. Crime and behavior problems are extremely low compared to many schools. Community is a term that holds a lot of value and is sought out by students, often creating life-long friendships and relationships.

My class at SPU truly cares for one another on more than just a superficial level.

The typical SPU student is a well-rounded Christian that cares about academics, yet is more likely to live a balanced life full of travel experiences, a large social life, and a mind willing to embrace adventure in order to produce a life that makes the world a better place, literally, all while wearing a classy plaid flannel and TOMS shoes.

My classmates at SPU are probably the most supportive, loving, and caring people I have ever met, and I know that I can feel welcome whatever class I am in at SPU.

Some of them were very fun and welcoming while others were mean and elitist.

Firstly, my fellow students at SPU are very passionate about the fields that they pursue at college. Everyone finds an area of study that they love and fit into perfectly. Secondly, almost all of my peers at SPU are very involved in all sorts of things; many volunteer, plenty of students are active in clubs and sports, and a fair amount of the students are very involved in church and Christian activities (SPU is a Christian School). Lastly, SPU is very much a community. The students all care about each other deeply and are involved in each other's lives.

Energetic people who are goal oriented and know how to have a fun time, while still studying and working hard to get good grades.

Seattle Pacific University has been a community of growth where I have personally been able to thrive. Not only are professors thoroughly invested in the success and learning of their students, but students are concerned with one another's well-being. Dorm life is incredibly fun, but also unbelievably encouraging, challenging, and vibrant with growth, life, and love. I feel the genuine care and concern of fellow students and thoroughly enjoy their company and their meaningful conversation and investment in my life. Seattle Pacific has provided lifelong learning and lifelong friendships.

My Classmates are absolutely wonderful. I'm staying in a residence hall on campus, and I'd call almost all of the guys on my floor my friends. The other students I meet in my classes are very friendly and genuinly want to get to know me. I've found that my classmates are easy to work with.
