Not overly busy like most cc's which is a definite plus. Staff for the most part, are very helpful. Also, a ton of parking!

Even after graduating, most of the professors still remember their students and are willing to meet up or advise students via emails about further careers. I see a few negative reviews about the fees and public resources. This Is a Private School and any school has its own regulations with both pros and cons. Please carefully select your school before enrolling. I also experienced course registration issues. I was so frustrated! Yet, I'm sure that would also happen with any schools, especially when many of the office employers are actually students who are also trying to learn. We all experience different situations and we grow from these stories in our lives. I love the overall environments, include friendly staffs, faculties, and modern buildings, that make students feel being sincerely concerned.

Everything here is pretty much walking distance. The book store was just re-located to the other end from her dorm. It's a little farther now but you get used to the walk eventually. Students have their own parking structure where you got to pass through a guard shack first to get in. Right below that is the field, very nice and modern. They have a nice cafeteria. They also have a laundromat in the basement and a convenient store that sells pretty much everything the students need. From her dorm room on a clear day you can see Mt. Rainier and pretty much everything. I am so glad I had the opportunity to checkout the school my daughter's attending. I feel safe for her in knowing that transportation getting around is easy with so many different options. I recommend this school for any student attending college.

Seattle Pacific University (SPU) is a Christian university in Seattle, Washington founded in 1891…read moreby the Oregon and Washington Conference of the Free Methodist Church as the Seattle Seminary. It became the Seattle Seminary and College in 1913, adopting the name Seattle Pacific College in 1915, and took its present moniker in 1977. Seattle Pacific University is a member of the Christian College Consortium. The university sits on a 43 acre campus at the northern end of Queen Anne Hill, near the Fremont neighborhood and approximately four miles north of downtown Seattle. Many of the trees on the campus' central Tiffany Loop are among the oldest in the city. SPU also owns and operates two satellite campuses: a wilderness field station specializing in biology on Blakely Island in the San Juan Islands and Camp Casey, a former US military fort re-purposed as a conference and retreat facility on Whidbey Island. Notable buildings on the Seattle campus include: Alexander Hall[edit] Alexander Hall McKinley Theater Named after the first president of Seattle Pacific University, Alexander Beers, this four-story brick building is home to the School of Theology. The founder's first name, Alexander, was used as the board did not want a building on campus called "Beers Hall." The building also houses the Sociology and History departments within the College of Arts and Sciences. Alexander Hall is the oldest building on campus, and at the time of the University's founding was the only building on campus. A 9.5 million dollar seismic retrofitting and renovation of the interior office space and chapel was completed in 2014. Next door to Alexander is the main performing arts space on campus, the McKinley Theater. Demaray Hall/Clocktower[edit] Demaray Hall is the central academic building at Seattle Pacific University, housing numerous classrooms as well as the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, Student Academic Services and Student Financial Services. Administrative offices, including the offices of the president and provost, are also located in Demaray. The building is named for Calvin Dorr Demaray, president of SPU from 1959-1968 and pastor of First Free Methodist Church, from 1948 to 1959.[3] The clocktower in front of Demaray Hall was given to Seattle Pacific University by the class of 1966. It displays a bas-relief sculpture designed by former Professor of Art Ernst Schwidder, titled "Science, Religion and Humanities," which was brought to fruition by former Professor of Art Larry Metcalf and three of his students. The cast-stone relief panels depict various areas of study: the physical sciences, social sciences and humanities. Its symbols are drawn from American Pima, Arabic, Aztec, Babylonian, Egyptian and Greek cultures.[4][5] Gwinn Commons[edit] Gwinn Commons Gwinn Commons is home to three different points of interest. The Crossroads at Gwinn Commons is the main dining hall on campus. Upstairs is the University's main, multi-use location. A pair of large rooms, the Queen Anne Room (named after the neighborhood in which SPU is located) and the Cascade Room (named after the mountain range that can be seen from Upper Gwinn Commons) can each hold up to 500 people. Multiple functions are held in Upper Gwinn, ranging from Group (a Wednesday night worship service), admissions events, lectures, board meetings and more. The President's Dining room is also located here. In addition there is the Corner Place Market, or C-Store, which holds a Subway and also a market where students can purchase various daily necessities. Wells Gwinn, for whom the dining facility is named, served 32 years on the Seattle Pacific Board of Trustees. Ames Library[edit] Ames Library (View from Lower Campus) The Ames Library was completed in 1994. Housing over 250,000 volumes and 1,300 print periodicals, it grows by 6,000 new titles a year. Students, faculty, and alumni have access to the collections of Summit and the Orbis Cascade Alliance, comprising over 30 million items held in Washington and Oregon academic libraries, including the University of Washington. In addition to printed reference materials, the library also has access to myriad electronic databases including JSTOR, ProQuest Direct, EBSCOHost, First Search, and others. Access is available to the university community via login both on and off campus. Ames Library (View from Upper Campus) During the academic year, members of the SPU community meet in the Library for a weekly event called "Creative Conversations," during which they share scholarly and creative works in progress. Peterson Hall[edit] Peterson Hall Peterson Hall is the second-oldest building on campus and houses the School of Education as well as the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences. In the basement is a food lab as well as a sewing lab. Each month, SPU's food lab plays host to a Community Kitchen - an outreach to the city's homeless population wherein these individuals join with members of the university.

After missing a payment, I got a notice that I was sent to collections. The school has not reached out to try to have me pay, I have not received any mail in regards to this and have not been officially contacted by the school or a credit agency to be able to resolve this. On top of the school being overly conservative and not having good values in mind. If I could go back, I would have never stepped foot onto this money hungry campus.

Security at this building at 7pm on 1/31 treated my fiancee with disrespect and disregard of the…read moreuniversity's values. She felt unsafe in his presence while on campus. My fiancee, a student at Antioch went to campus to study with with a peer around 6:30pm. They continued to study for an hour until they were met with security, stating they were 30 minutes past close and needed to leave. They acknowledged it and security left the room. After that interaction my fiancee went to the antioch seattle campus info website, and found that the "Regular Building Hours (Weeks 1-10 of each quarter)" listed for Fridays are from "8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.". In fall term she had a class that did not conclude until 9:30pm, and even then the security was kind and accommodating to them when they remained later than 9:30pm. With this information she went back to security desk to confirm the hours that the facility is open to. After she brought this up with security, she was immediately with the comment of "how long have you been a student at Antioch" and "this is just what antoich is like, welcome to Antioch". He then follows up with, "i was only scheduled until 7pm, im already here 30 minutes later, the building closes at 7pm, you need to leave". So my fiancee wished him to have a better evening and returned to the study room to pack up her bag. This is where security decided to escalate the situation. He followed my fiancee to the study room, opened the door and stated, "you need to check your privilege, this is Antioch, I'm the poor oppressed employee, you need to leave because campus is closed" and proceeded to show them the time on his phone. My fiancee was taken aback by this comment because it was unnecessary and irrelevant to the situation. After that he proceeded to accuse her of refusing to leave while they were packing their bags. During this interaction she reassured him that they were actively leaving. He then proceeded to mock her during all of this by raising the pitch of his voice and stating, "your smirk is adorable, is this some kind of character that I'm supposed to know". This was another comment that she didn't really know what to do with. So she decided to say, "we don't know each other, so why don't we as adults leave the conflict here, and we will take our things and leave". At this point their bags were packed and ready to go, and he repeats that "you're refusing to leave". At this point my fiancee felt incredibly unsettled, and felt as if the security officer was seeking a reason to escalate the situation. At that point my fiancee decides to leave for her safety. He continued to follow them to the elevators watching very closely while still antagozing them. And then states, "we need a march for the poor oppressed white man". This interaction, and especially this comment, was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional, the antithesis of what Antioch stands for and values. After this my fiancee and her peer took the elevators down. He proceeded to follow them again, down the stairs to usher them out the door. Once they were out he stood in the doorway to ensure they didn't try to enter again. This was intimidation on a large scale for two students who just wanted to study. Two students who were by no means a danger to the campus, and have never ran into security that treats people like this. My fiancee feels completely uncomfortable and unsafe going back to campus now and does not wish to return. This man should not be working here as he's displayed unprofessional, erratic, dangerous, and provoking behavior. As stated before, he also does not align with antoichs mission and values with the comments he made about oppression. I'm not sure if antoich hires their own security or goes through a third party, but they need to do better.

I'm disappointed with the food here. There are a lot of people walking around who I thought were…read morewaiters, but they turned out to be professors or something.

Disclaimer: I did not take any degree-level programs here, so I cannot answer questions or comment…read moreon any aspect of the under/graduate experience. I was simply a student of the Washington Academy of Languages (WAL, for short). OVERALL: 7.666/10. For the price, caliber, convenience, and overall value of the language programs offered here, it's hard to find a better place near downtown Seattle, especially for someone who works full-time and doesn't own a vehicle. VALUE FOR MONEY: 8/10. For the language courses, they definitely go slower than what you would normally be accustomed to in a college-level course, but I believe that's due to the target demographic that these courses are made for - night classes, primarily for people who work full-time. The structure is such that, if you completed Korean 1 through 3, or Japanese 1 through 4, you would be finishing what would be the equivalent of one "full college year" of that particular language - not bad, considering they recently raised the prices of their classes to $350/20 hours (usually once a week for 2 hours for 10 weeks, or twice a week for 2 hours for 5 weeks, depending on the "season" and language offerings available), up from $300/20 hours just a year ago. QUALITY: 8/10. I've had some stellar teachers, and some not-so-great teachers. Keep in mind this is subjective - everyone has a different learning style - my learning style requires a lot of reinforcement (translation: repetition and linking concepts with previously learned content), which some teachers were unable to do efficiently. With that in mind, there were different emphases on different styles of learning. Some teachers focused more on homework in terms of reading writing comprehension; my favourite style was where the teacher wanted us to record ourselves saying something in Japanese, and e-mailing that voice clip to them for review, to help us improve our speaking abilities and adjust their curriculum to better suit whatever the class collectively struggled with. I miss that teaching style - the book is somewhat rigid when it comes to introducing a concept, structure, or vocabulary; when we had to create our own voice clip regarding a topic, we had to be able to do all of "read, write, comprehend, speak", instead of just reading or just writing. CONVENIENCE: 7/10. The class timings are somewhat as arbitrary, as they are all dependent upon the teachers availability, as well as CityU's classroom availability. Thankfully, all of the classes I've taken are once per week from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, but the issues have always been based on the offered days, since classes can only run if there are 4 or more students registered (CityU-imposed rule). It's unfortunate that someone signing up has no idea whether or not a class will occur when they submit their registration, simply because they won't know how many other people signed up until either the first day of classes, or they get an e-mail outlining that there weren't enough people enrolled. This further trickles into the course offerings, where there's not a way for multiple people who would be interested in a class that is not offered for a particular season to request a specific class for a particular day/timeslot. The payment system has much improved since the first offering I took from Jan-Mar 2016 (I have taken six classes thus far: Korean 1 through 3, and Japanese 1 through 3, the last of which ended in June 2018), considering their new online payment and registration system, versus the old way, which was writing credit card information on a paper form which is then scanned and emailed to a sketchy email address with no response until a week before the class started (Thank goodness they don't do this anymore). Yelp converted review: 8/10. This place has been a great, convenient way for me to take language classes after work on weeknights, at which I've met a lot of awesome people that I have had the honour of staying in touch with, well after the classes have ended. While the classes have sometimes been hit or miss in terms of quality, I'm happy to say that the experience has been overall a net positive, and that I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to take a language class that lived in or around the Seattle area.

Finally City University has a campus and corporate presence that lives up to, and even enhances, the University's world-wide reputation. Finally, there is a place in an urban location -- on bus lines and near restaurants and stores -- that will draw in students, creating a genuine academic atmosphere and community. Finally, as a City University advertisement that ran in the Seattle Times circa 1982 stated (http://prntscr.com/sg28h), "Your City is in our University." Before even entering the new City University campus you are taken aback by the majesty of the building. Sitting on the corner of 6th and Wall, the building seems to announce itself to you. The turret which once held the iconic Seattle PI globe (http://bit.ly/12GqHMX) proudly proclaims its new occupant and even a new lease on life (http://bit.ly/12svMUT). As you enter, you are greeted by the pristine art deco ornamentation that one assumes is original to the building (http://bit.ly/12sw79P). Continuing through to the building's foyer, you can't help but pause to take everything in. The room is grand, open, light and elegant. I understand that the foyer is available for private receptions and I can certainly understand why. It's beautiful (http://bit.ly/12swjGi). Walking forward to the library, one is struck by the thoughtfulness and creativity that has gone into understanding how a library can serve students of the digital age. The book assortment is focused and applicable to the curriculum (http://bit.ly/12sx3LF), but more importantly, the library serves as a study hall, meeting space and research center. I also believe it serves as the heart of the new student center. You want to spend time there (http://bit.ly/12swTnv)! As one tours the rest of the facility, the investment and thoughtfulness that went into the new campus is apparent everywhere. Meeting rooms, classrooms and conference rooms are well lit, decorated with northwest imagery, and supplied with the tools today's students expect such as plenty of outlets for laptops and in some cases, LED displays (http://bit.ly/12sxfdD). The second floor administrative office space is laid out in an organized manner, is well lit and yet still allows for City University team members to customize their space and let their personalities shine (http://bit.ly/12sxx4b). I have been to the new City University campus three times over the past month. Each time I find new things to admire (http://bit.ly/12sxG7L), new details to appreciate (http://bit.ly/12sxMw9). The campus is genuinely exciting and I firmly believe that this will lead to new and expansive opportunities for its students. In March 2011 I authored a paper for an MBA level class at City University in which I made the case for City University to re-embrace its "of Seattle" roots. As I wrote in that paper, "If City University of Seattle is truly going to be "of Seattle" it must live up to this mission, providing continuing education locally, in a setting that inspires educational excellence. By taking bold steps, the university will be well poised to continue that mission." (Note: I am certainly not implying that the City University management somehow saw my paper, thought it was brilliant and immediate began implementing it.) Nevertheless, congratulations to City University, its administration, professional staff and everyone else who recognized the need to take bold steps and who contributed to this fabulous new campus. It is truly something to be very proud of.
