Seattle Pacific University Top Questions

I don't think I could find one thing about my school that is my favorite, but I will list some of the things I enjoy. I love all the people here, especially the girls on my floor; they are like family to me now. The teachers here are great. The classes are small so they always know your name, and they are very easy to talk to. Also, SPU is located about five minutes from downtown which is very nice. There's always something to do. The atmosphere is just great; I feel at home here.

Personally I consider the best aspect of Seattle Pacific to be the academic rigor. Even though it is a small private university it still offers many challenges as I feel myself being stretched academically every day. The class sizes and teacher to student ratio are low, opening up the possibility for more individual teaching from the professors. I believe this to be crucial at a university. Even though the "full college experience" extends much further than the classroom, we are all still here first and foremost to receive the best education possible. I believe that SPU can offer that experience.

Smaller class sizes, availability of teachers, and the Seattle area is great.

The best thing about SPU is the community. It is small enough where you feel like you know people, you are accepted and you do not feel like a small fish in a lake. On the other hand is it just big enough that it doesnt get old. There are new people to meet, countless extra curricular activities to get involved in and it is in Seattle...what more can one want? I like that it is a christian university as well, one that allows you to explore your faith but doesnt force it.

I think the best thing is the sense of community. My school really is a big family.

I am an SPU enthusiast! From the time I stepped foot on campus I felt welcomed into an encouraging, nurturing, and inspiring environment. The best thing about my school is the active community. Professors, faculty, staff, and students are all eager to engage in healthy relationships with one another. Events and activities are continually offered, allowing students to get involved and meet other people. I feel like people at SPU are genuinely interested in getting to know one another both in and outside the classroom. I am continually impressed at the quality of work this university is committed to.

The community is extraordinary. This comes from an emphasis on student programs, small classes, and resident hall living with tons of peer and professional support. I live, work, eat, play, and study with my best friends! The people here are so genuine and kind. If someone is struggling they're not afraid to speak up, if someone is celebrating we celebrate with them. I never would have expected the level of closeness I have had with my peers in just three years!

The best thing about my school is the intentional christian community because it encourages students to engage their faith with every aspect of their life, from their environmental choices to their future career aspirations.

I love that academics and faith go hand in hand at our school, everyone is very friendly and serves the community a lot!
