I’ve been accepted to both schools (and other Uni’s) and I wanted to compare the two since they are on the top of my list. Cost of attendance wise, after getting scholarships from both schools, Seattle U is about $41k while Callutheran is about $47k so I am somewhat leaning towards Seattle University but can anyone give me some insight of how you thought about these two schools?
There are multiple majors that I’m interested in (criminal justice, psychology, film, computer science) and I would like to know how flexible both schools are for changing majors or just getting some feel from these majors.
Any opinions or advice would help a lot.
And how is the surrounding city?
I don’t know much about CL, but have been to SU several times. It is in a really neat part of Seattle (most of Seattle is fantastic). Totally an urban setting. SU is in a very hip downtown area, LGBT friendly as Seattle is all around, and access to everything in main downtown (Pikes Market area) is very easy - quick uber away. But lots to walk to in terms of restaurants, etc. right around SU, seems very safe area as well there are people out walking all around all the time. Changing majors there is not a problem. My D would be giving more consideration to SU if it also had linguistics, but they don’t and she wants to double in psych and linguistics.
CL is more of a suburban location and about an hour from downtown LA. That’s pretty much all I know about that. Good luck in your choice!
Seattle U is a better known school and if it’s cheaper I definitely think you should go there.
