Seattle Pacific University Top Questions

The student body is small. However, this is also a good thing.

The cost of attendance

Most frustrating thing about my school is that it is small so their are not many places to eat on campus and they all have limited hours of operation. Their limited availability makes it difficult espeacially on weekends to go get food before they close.

Sometimes it is dificult to get out of the "SPU Bubble", which is a blessing and a curse. The community aspect of the school is nice but it is easy to become extremely involved with SPU and forget about the outside world. I suppose it is important to be constantly seeking out outside opportunities to serve in the greater Seattle area in addition to the SPU community.

The most frustrating thing is that if you get into a bad group of friends and it's a year or two into college it's hard to make new ones because people tend to close their groups to outsiders.

The most frustrating thing about my university is the overall cost of tuition and fees. It is a private Christian university so it is expected that it cost a lot and they do offer a lot of scholarships, yet still for many students its a struggle and therefore the unversity size remains small.

The ratio of girls to guys is about 3:1, but I don't notice this very often.

The most frustrating thing about the university is the fact that there is a limited number of people with the knowledge, resources, and supportive background to have the opportunity to experience this education.

I feel like they don't help you search for scholarships if you need more money, they just push loans, but that could be the same way with most schools, I don't know.

The hardest thing about spu is the lack of things to do on campus. I wish there were more fun and purely social events. Most events on campus are for learning purposes. The gym areas are in poor shape and the school in general could use a little more school pride. Sporting events are poorley attended and the school lacks an updated fellowship area for student gathering.
