The community.

The best thing about my school is the size. It is large enough that I am constantly meeting new people and yet feel that I know many people on campus. It is not so large that I feel lost, and it it not so small that I feel as if I know everyone.

I have always looked forward to college as the time when I was going to make really deep, lasting friendships, and that dream has definitely come true.

Seattle Pacific University is a great christian school. The focuc is really directed towards God, and engaging the culture and changing the world. Its ver comforting knowing that i am earning a degree while growing spiritutally in my faith. I also really enjoy the class size, most classes are about 30 people, not very big at all. My professors actually know who i am and they are very personable. I feel like they truly care about me succeeding as a student and as a chirstian.

I love the personal attention I get from my school. College is a fast-paced and complicated place. It is very important for me to have reliable staff and faculty who can help guide me towards my goals, otherwise I feel lost. Seattle Pacific is always warning me about deadlines and instructing me about what is required of me to meet my goals. I feel that they are setting me up for sucess here.

Small class sizes and small overall school size makes the school ideal for having the ability to select your courses and getting the ones that you want most of the time. Plus they have an extremely good premedical program which will prepare those who want to pursue occupations in that field for med school.

I love how Seattle Pacific University is very welcoming and willing to help with anything needed. That is what I loved about attending a private High School, and that is what I missed when I attended Shoreline Community College. Many of the counselors are always there to talk to or to ask questions, they don’t just push you to the next available person in any department, they sit down and help you with what you need and actually try to understand what it is that you need or what it is that you are going through.

The professors - without a doubt. They truly care about the students and it's a small enough university so that you can have one-on-one conversations with them.

The Christian aspect of the school is the best thing. Christianity is so important to me and i love that the professors incorporate biblical teaching into the majors. It alows me to apply my major to my passion, Jesus and His church. The professors are open and are always welcoming and ready to help you at moments notice.

The best thing about my school is the diversity in culture and religon. People at the school respect each other no matter what race or religon they are. Also the school professors and students don't try to change others views on religon. Instead everyone wants to hear what you believe and that makes me feel valued.

SPU is best for its well-focused and determined academic programs in the liberal arts. SPU instills in its students the meaning of hard academic work through constant studying, focus, and drive.

The best thing about my school is the strong sense of community upheld in all aspects of the campus that everyone is encouraged to feel comfortably a part of.

SPU has a sense of community that I would not change for any reason. Along with the community there are numerous things to do in the big city and never a short supply of friends to do activities with. We are there to get an education but the life experience is priceless and SPU is worth all of the money that is put into your future.

The best thing about SPU is its community. The community is very welcoming and strong, and as a freshman moving away from home, SPU really made it easy for transition. Each hall floor has their own traditions and emphasize bonding, which helps you make friends fast. If you are open, you really do form lifelong bonds. There is also a lot of extracurricular activities that you can get involved in (clubs, intramural sports, etc.) where you can meet people who have the same interests.

I think the best part about my school is the sense of community. Students make strong bonds fast in the dorms and during campus activityies. In addition, with the small class sizes Professors are able to get to know their students. This makes for a positive learning enviroment and amazing community.

No outrageous drinking or drug use. Students genuinely prefer to do other activities, social or otherwise.

Because SPU is a larger Private school (3,000 Undergrad students), and because it's located in Seattle, there are a lot of oppurtunities for fun, for coursework, and for work/internships.
