1. So many ways to get involved

“My favorite part of campus life at SPU is that there are so many ways to get involved. With over 50 clubs, on-campus events, and small class sizes, I’ve been able to make friends no matter where I’m at on campus.” — Alicia Termini, senior, elementary education major

“My favorite part of campus life at SPU is the community and the opportunities we have to meet people and get active at clubs and sports.” — Jessica Vester, senior, physiology major

 

2. Classmates and professors

“My favorite thing about SPU is the access and relationships you build with the professors.” — Teo Keilwitz, junior, nursing major

“My favorite thing about SPU is the people! I have met so many incredible people during my time here that have helped me grow immensely and have become my family away from home.” — Noha Elbahouty, senior, human development and family studies major

 

3. Sense of community

“My favorite part of campus life at SPU is the strong community bond we hold. I feel known when I walk around campus and it feels really easy to talk to people I do not know.” — Aly Cotte, senior, business major

 

4. Seattle location

“My favorite thing about Seattle is the nature near SPU that allows me to go on adventures and find hidden gems in the city. I also love having an international district where I can find a piece of my home and share it with my community.” — Sophia Thomson, senior, communications major

 

5. Campus connections

“I really enjoy the various multicultural clubs SPU has! I’m personally a part of Filipino-American Student Association and Ohana ‘O Hawai’i Club. Joining both of these clubs has brought upon many amazing friendships and has made SPU feel more like home.” — Aysha Caoili, junior, nursing major

“My favorite thing at SPU is the clubs such as PICCA and Ohana ‘O Hawai’i…. Every weekend and sometimes during the week, my friends and I find ourselves at Gas Works park talking story.” — Makana Dang, senior, electrical engineering major
