Seattle University Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at Seattle University?

Elizabeth

That we're all elite, snobby, liberal hippies.

Ryan

People say it rains a ton. It really doesn't. There are dozens of other cities with more annual rainfall. It is overcast a bunch though. That being said, beautiful, sunny days in Seattle are money. Nobody enjoys the outdoors and good weather like a Seattleite. The city and campus really come alive. Girls shed their sweatpants and jeans at the first sign of sun. SU is the place to be on a sunny 60+ day.

stuck up rich snobs too many gay people super liberal since its a private college-super churchy and make you go to mass

Matt

Seattle U. students are supposed to be sober, religious, upper middle class kids overly concerned with social justice.

Allie

About Seattle: We're super green and supportive of local stuff, like music and farmers and businesses. About the students: Liberal and open-minded, willing to speak up and wanting to be heard. Competitive, but good at losing.

Haley

That Seattle U students are hippies and carry around shoulder bags and wear skinny jeans.

Casey

Very religious instition and very conservative.

Jesse

Seattlites are known for their love of coffee. 'Yuppie' describes the nature attributed to them. Outsiders believe that Seattlites attend more yoga classes than religious services. Homosexuality is cool in Seattle, and so is feminism. Ironically, the flamboyance of the gay community and the ferocity of the feminists helps to make the more conservative type affraid of their ideas. While many people eat at vegitarian restaurants, they don't give so much as a glace to the homeless man outside the door.

Chris

It rains all the time. The people are either white, gay, or totally weird.
