Tracing its roots back to 1883, Whitworth University has developed a stellar reputation as one of the top regional universities in the western United States. As a Christian institution, theological ideas are integrated into the curriculum alongside over 100 undergraduate degree programs. The campus sits at the north end of Spokane, seven miles up the road from Downtown.

The university is surrounded by residential neighborhoods; rental rates near campus tend to be quite affordable, with several apartments, condos, and houses available within easy walking distance. Nearby, public greenspaces like Holmberg Conservation Area and the downtown Riverfront Park are perfect for enjoying the tranquil natural beauty of the area.

The city center is a vibrant district packed with restaurants, shopping, music venues, and theaters, creating a popular hangout for the college crowd during off hours.
