Junior: Love the campus! The coursework is rigorous no matter your major, but there's tons of classes that are so niche and interesting to explore! This school will give you a challenge for sure! Having to apply to your major is a huge downside-- there's a decent chance you might not get to study what you want if the major is competitive and your GPA and statements aren't competitive enough (there's just too many students). Similarly, you can't take major classes until you get accepted into the major (which usually isn't until your junior year), so that can delay the graduation process if you don't schedule and plan your degree right. Because of the large student body, everyone is clawing for everything-- registration for classes is a nightmare, long lines at dining halls and events, etc. (you can expect to sometimes wait more than an hour for food, applying to housing/registration takes hours as well because the server is being filled with so many students)....

Freshman: A little expensive for the quality of education and resources there. Plenty of ADHD and special needs accommodations but services are hard to waitlist/access and the staff isn’t always helpful. Most professors are nice but the quality of education isn’t challenging with well thought out organized lectures to cohesively teach. Dining hall is better compared to most schools but expensive per meal. The students at the school are pretty odd but a good diverse student population. I find that a lot of people have issues with the housing office throughout the year. However, the gym is very nice with decent hours. Big weight room, basketball courts, and cardio equipment. Work study is hard to get a job at this school and the hours are inconvenient. The job extends your hours without pay sometimes. Lots of events from the many clubs and involvement fairs throughout the year though! Really enjoyed the assortment from cultural, extramural sports, games, sporting events and school spirits events.... Read 979 reviews

Junior: I started Seattle pacific about 3 months ago, Seattle pacific is a great school full of great people willing to help anyone, I enjoy the campus Ames library is my favorite spot to be, I lived in Hill hall and life there is really enjoyable, all the people who are there do a great job and bringing students together. From what I experienced, being there is great I made new friends, friends that actually care about me. The classes there are awesome the teacher and the 1 on 1 conversations with your professors are very useful. Something that I kinda don't like is the cafeteria, mainly because there is always something broken, considering the amount of money a student pays there, food should be better other than that there is not much to say about this institution, I love walking around campus, and meeting new people and Seattle pacific has done a good job....

Graduate Student: Overall my experience has been great! I am really happy with the outcomes of my studies here. The professor is really knowledgeable and they seem to help the students a lot, the environment has been great, very diverse campus, and is pretty clean. The campus staff is always friendly and always willing to help, there are multiple events throughout the year that help the students to find jobs after they graduate. They have amazing clubs, so you can feel belong to the Campus. I just finished my bachelor's at UWT and I think that the program was really helpful and understandable. This year I am pursuing my Master's in Accounting and hopefully, I would learn the most that I can to be ready when I take a step into the real world. Amazing school at overall.... Read 439 reviews

Junior: Pacific Lutheran University is the absolute best option for a school for me right now in my life. It’s a four-year private Christian university in the Pacific Northwest of Washington State in the city of Tacoma. It has beautiful old Victorian buildings and the campus is overall small, encompassing about 3,000 students yearly. The people are extremely friendly, adventurous, and welcoming, and the professors are very personable and trustworthy people. Students from ALL sorts of backgrounds come to this school, whether “religious” or denominationally affiliated or not. The point is: we’re all here to learn and thrive in our pursuits. The only reason why I give this school a 4 and not a full 5 is because of how expensive it can be. I am riding on all academic scholarships and student loans in order to cover my costs. But don’t let this stop you because your academics will get you in! That is all you truly need.... Read 980 reviews
