My 2 Cents’ Worth: I’m so glad I went for it!

Tyler Gorsline
Before my senior year of high school, I expected to go to a public college. All my friends from high school were headed there, and it had a “cheap” price tag. However, I accepted an invitation to visit Seattle Pacific University from an SPU student.

I hung out in the residence halls, went to classes, and ate in the dining hall. I had an amazing time and found that SPU offered everything I was looking for. I was being called to a different school, a perfect fit for helping me become a well-rounded adult.

I wasn’t sure how I would pay for SPU. But at Seattle Pacific, I knew I would grow and serve in an amazing city and community. I trusted the Lord and went for it! Throughout my time at SPU, I pursued financial aid opportunities, and God provided a variety of scholarship and need-based assistance. This was enough to pay for school, and I graduated with minimal debt. I have always been thankful for this choice, and hope you will feel the same way wherever you go.
