One of the West Coast’s finest institutions in the heart of the Jet City

Private Urban Catholic Jesuit Redhawks Historic

With a reputation as one of the top universities in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle University provides a stellar academic environment in the heart of one of America’s most exciting cities. The fairly compact campus features a unique blend of historic and ultra-modern architecture, with magnificent sculptures scattered throughout the landscape. Many aspects of the unique curriculum reflect the school’s Jesuit character, but the university’s commitment to ecology and sustainability also reflect the distinctly progressive sensibilities of the region.

The campus enjoys a great location between the city’s First Hill and Capitol Hill neighborhoods, an area equally known for its major medical facilities and its extensive nightlife and entertainment scene. Within a few short blocks to the north and west of the SU campus, you’ll find dozens of bars, nightclubs, mouthwatering international restaurants, eclectic art galleries, live music venues, theaters, and of course Seattle’s famous coffeehouses. While Seattle is known for pricey rental rates (especially in this part of town), you can often find some great deals on apartments, houses, and condos in the Squire Park neighborhood, which offers a convenient walk to the SU campus as well as the nearby attractions.
