Seattle University Top Questions

I wish I had known there were so many hills to walk up to get to places on campus.

I wish I knew the exact cost of attendance. While Seattle University is an absolutely wondeful campus, the tuition was a bit more than I was expecting (as it is a private college). The college does attempt to give out financial aid but it still seems a bit too much for me and my parents to handle.

Watch out for the requirements of the degree you want! For example, you have no gaurantee for getting into the Nursing department unless you sign-up in the Fall quarter of your Freshmen year--but only if they accept your application at the time you apply for the university itself. You can, of course, take the prerequisites, but if your entry is rejected, very little of your credits will transfer into another degree. The key is to BE aware and STAY aware.

It is not the regular college experience you will get by going to a state school.

Other outlets for scholarship money would have been nice to know about.

I wished I would have realized the study abroad programs are limited. Also all the core classes don't leave students room to pursue interests outside their major.

I wish I knew about all the free or discounted events. There are so many things to do at SU. There are so many experiences that are at one's finger tips. Shows, concerts, and plays were always discounted for students. I loved that.

The first year of college is easy and managable, over load while you can to get core out of the way. Keeping busy your freshman year will allow you more freedom and more possibilities as an upper classmen.

Before coming to this school, I wish I had known that the Campion bathrooms are THE WORST.

How helpful the people would be, I would have investigated this school years ago!
