Seattle University is a small, quaint, Jesuit college located in a shithole ghetto section of Seattle and attended by students who couldn't make the bar for University of Washington but wanted to hang out in Seattle's depressing weather anyway because they mistakenly thought Seattle would be a great place to live.
Dude, I heard you didn't make it into UW.

Yeah but I can still hang with you in Seattle's depressing fucking weather 'cause Seattle University let me in. Hopefully that rain doesn't drive us to suicide.

A university in the heart of Seattle. Located between the party district of Capitol Hill and downtown, there is plenty to do and see. Seattle U is trending up and an education from this Jesuit school will prove valuable. While small, the university provides many opportunities to its students. It also boasts one of the best business schools in the nation. The party scene is often criticized, but coming from a student, parties are ample for those who have friends. Don't expect to be let into every party just because you pay tuition. You have to network. All in all, my SU experience has been great thus far. The academics and campus life are all around great.
Your experience at Seattle University is what you make of it!

Seattle University is a high school located in the Capitol Hill district of Seattle, WA. It calls itself a college but in reality there is nothing to make it resemble a college in any way. There are no good parties, no hot girls and no ways to have the fun that your friends will be having at real colleges. Do not make the mistake of attending Seattle University. It's a high school.
Jack: Hey, your going to Seattle University too?!

Dave: Yeah, man it's gonna be crazy fun in college!

Jack: Oh no, they dont allow any kind of parties on campus and none of the girls are hot or willing to have sex.

Dave: Oh shit, so basically high school?

Jack: More like middle school.

Seattle University is literally an overpriced piece of shit. Literally, you are paying for human defecated fecal matter. Seattle U is poo poo because overall its education is sub par at best and the campus life is lackluster. Nursing, Law, Business and Engineering are exception programs. However, any programs outside these areas are shit. The whole schools budget is dedicated to marketing and athletics. Thus, most programs get inadequate funding. Most of the professors I have encountered are uninspired and robotic. Furthermore, the social scene at Seattle U is non-existent. People divide themselves into cliques and the school makes no major effort to create a campus community. Parties suck. The girls are dykes who dress like they just experienced WWII. Most people are extremely politically correct. This is not an institution for free thought and debate. Lastly, the campus is genuinely ugly it is as beautiful as Elliot Rodger masturbating to frat girls.

Please do not go to this highschool that resembles human fecal matter. Please choose a school that will gives you a quality education at a fair cost.
No More Parties in LA?

Oh, you mean No More Parties in SU (Seattle University)?

small jesuit school on capitol hill. people are generally nice and friendly, but girls, don't come here expecting a boyfriend. there's way more girls than guys, and more than half of those guys are gay. the rest are either uninterested or major players because they realize they can get any desperate su girl they want.

it's not a party school, but parties aren't hard to find (esp if you're in sports). most people love their weed and ciggs.

academically it's not hard (i'm a chem major). just don't be like me and get distracted by ppl or the fact that so many music venues are nearby. there's WAY too much to do in seattle, and su is literally in the middle of it all.

there's lots of school sponsored events-- movie nights, speakers, bands, outdoor trips, etc. students get discounts on plays (wicked was the most recent), some concerts (last was benfolds), hiking, paintballing, bus passes, and other things that i don't take advantage of.

if you care about diversity, i guess it's diverse. not a lot of hispanic or black people; most of the asians are from hawaii or guam. there's just as many vegetarians as meat eaters. it's a jesuit shcool, but most people are agnostic or don't care about religion. it's a small school, but you will find a niche and like minded people.

anywho i go here and i love it. it was my safety school, but i ended up coming bc of money (most people are like that here). you should come here too if you're not obnoxious :
when i was applying for colleges, i never found seattle university so i decided to make a definition for it. now people from around the world can learn about seattle university based on this freshman's perspective.

Because you didn't get into U-Dub, but were scared of leaving seattle
Joaquin: "You know, I really love the Seattle University School of law, they have an excellent legal writing program, social justice focus, hot girls, and their rank increases every year! I really think if I got into UW, I would have chosen SU anyways"

This private school is home to many from a variety of backgrounds. Most people think that the students here live in a bubble but check out their controversial SPU postsecret FB page and you might be persuaded otherwise

This school is well known for their nursing, education, business and music programs, along with many others

The Falcon sports teams are occasionally successful, at least the ones that they can keep up, which does not include football

The ratio here is well known to be 3:1 girls to guy which is fortunate for any guy, and every girl's worst nightmare. The ratio causes big headed guys, who come to expect the ladies to chase them down. The dress code is unspoken, a product of the ratio and never varies. Only the classiest for the girls at SPU
"Hipster" is the style that everyone at SPU gets converted to

Not everyone here is a rich kid, even Emersonians

6th West Ashton is home to the Orange Men, the male spirit crew at SPU

Gwinn is the only dining hall and is exceptionally great for most of Freshman year but shortly after, gets quite boring

There are only 4 dorm buildings, each with their own distinct personality, but are all community oriented

SPU has many opportunities for religious events, and activities including Wed. night worship, Urban Involvement weekly service, and SPRINT international program
