Who has the skinny on Seattle U? Good, bad, or indifferent? Specifically on engineering program.

While Seattle Univ is not mentioned, I think spending an hour watching the video in this thread would be time well spent for anyone considering going to school in Seattle.

Seattle University is a small campus located between the hospital district of Seattle ("Pill Hill") and the gay district of Seattle ("Capitol Hill").

For engineering, The University of Washington is well rated for engineering, but it would be harder to gain admittance there. And the drug problem is worse in the "U district".

You have excellent education options in Texas, but if you want to try something totally different with mild weather and much higher rent, you're still free to do so.

Can you make your thread title more descriptive so people don't have to click in to see why you've posted.

The Seattle area is expensive to live in. Seattle is at something like 166% of the average national for living expense.

I taught a senior level mechanical engineering course at SU a few years ago as an adjunct professor. While I enjoyed working with the students and few faculty members I interacted with, I was pretty surprised at how poor the students were with some rather basic engineering concepts. When I brought this subject up with one of the faculty members, he did admit that there probably was too much hand holding in the department. I suspect it has to do with SU being a private university and basically they had to pass students along to keep the money flowing in.

All of my university education was done at public, state run institutions where no one really cared whether I sank or swam except me. I'm not saying you want to go to a public university where each class is numbered in the hundreds or thousands, but it did help me learn the basics as no one was there to prop me up.

I graduated from SU in 2008. Great school for accounting, finance, and nursing with a lot of internship opportunities and high starting salaries for graduates in these majors.

Other majors, including ingeneering, are not so competitive.

My daughter got a great education in engineering at Purdue. Tuition was expensive, cost of living dirt cheap.
