 My 2 Cents’ Worth: I’m so glad I went for it!
“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.…” Read Tyler’s story.

Favorite thing about SPU: My favorite things about SPU are the close attention and relationships with professors, Christ-centered community, and learning how to impact the world with what you study! I also love the memories created through living in campus housing, the opportunities to get involved and serve, and the incredible geographical access to the many diverse Seattle cultures!
Advice for high school/transfer students: VISIT and DREAM BIG! I'd encourage you to go and see what life and classes are like at the universities you are considering. Thereafter, follow your deepest inclination to the place that will challenge you to grow the most, and is your greatest HOPE for a well-rounded (educationally, socially, spiritually) university experience! Ultimately, if you are still stuck, pray about where you should go and trust in the direction God leads you! |
