Mediocrity aint bad, right?

Introduction
If you're looking for a small school with a very personal feel, Seattle University is for you. Since the school is located right in the heart of Seattle, you get all the benefits that a small school has without feeling suffocated; anytime you feel like escaping (which may be often), there are plenty of things to do outside of the university. Seattle University's main appeal is its dedication to social justice, which makes sense since it is a Jesuit institution. If you want to get involved in social issues, it is very easy to do here.

Campus Life and Social Life
The athletic program here sucks. I am an athelete on scholarship, and let me tell you, it's not that great. We have shitty facilities, and nobody cares about the teams. But then again, the upside is that if you're looking for a low-key, noncompetitive athletic environment, that is certainly provided.
The party scene here isn't top-notch. But, the University of Washington is near by, so you can always go there if you want to totally get fucked up. Weekends for me are pretty low key; I like going out to the late-night coffee shops and just relaxing. The arts/theater scene here is fabulous, so there's always a cool art show or performance you can check out. Advertisement
Academics
The Honors Program SUCKS. I would recommend avoiding it. The communications/journalism program SUCKS. I think our strongest programs are Business and the sciences, maybe? I've liked all of the professors I've had in the English department, so that's good. I would say that there is a place here for both the slacker and the overachiever. If you want easy classes, you can find them. If you want a real challenge, there are certainly classes and professors that will be more than willing to offer you just that.
Oh, the classes sizes are rarely overe 20-25; that's a HUGE plus!

Student Body
The students at Seattle U are typically kids from the suburbs, kids not smart enough to get into the University of Washington. However, the kids who are even semi-smart get phenomenal scholarships, so they come from all over, from all different economic backgrounds. I suppose the typical kid here is the same kind of kid at any university: immature, not ready for college, not ready for hard work, still in the high school mind-set. It's tragic.

In Closing...
In conc;usion, I would say Seattle University is nothing greater than mediocre. But hey, that's college, I guess. The money that the school offers most of its students is hard to turn down. I know so many people going here, including myself, because their first choice school didn't offer them enough money. But hey, graduating debt-free is going to be sweeeet.
