<p>My son is considering the Univ. of Puget Sound because he likes the curriculum and likes the proximity to Seattle. Does anyone know how kids get to Seattle from UPS ( if they don't have a car ) and is it easily accessible by bus or train? Is it expensive to travel? I think he hopes to go up for a day on the weekends but come back to campus at night.
Also, any feedback on the school itself would be welcomed.</p>
<p>Regular bus and train service but don't know how late they run.</p>
<p>My D went to high school down the street from UPS, and several prof's kids were her classmates; they went there to use the college library, etc. I was NOT impressed. It's an okay campus in a depressed city. It is convenient to Seattle, but why not look at a school in Seattle if that's the goal? </p>
<p>The only person I know who went to UPS failed to graduate after flunking two courses in one semester because he was very ill (pneumonia); the school was not helpful about incompletes, etc., and he ended up leaving without diploma despite spending 8 semesters there.</p>
<p>traffic is getting worse and worse-up and down the I-5 corridor
I am sure he would find friends with cars- but I agree if Seattle is that attractive, he might want to check out schools in Seattle like Seattle U</p>
<p>Sound Transit does have a commuter train though

<p>Pacific Lutheran has an extremely beautiful campus, but is about the same amount of difficulty getting to Seattle as UPS. I have a lot of friends going to Seattle U and they absolutely love it there.</p>
<p>There is also the University of Washington, which has a beautiful campus, about any program anyone could want, and is in Seattle as well.</p>
<p>Hah. I thought from the thread title you were talking about going to Seattle BY UPS. Make sure those air holes are big enough!</p>
