UWashington vs. Seattle University vs. Washington State U vs. Gonzaga?


UWashington vs. Seattle University vs. Washington State U vs. Gonzaga?
Hi, I'm a senior in high school and plan on attending school in Washington. These four colleges (UWashington, Seattle U, WSU, Gonzaga) are the ones I'm looking at, and was wondering if any of you out there know pros and cons of them? Which is the best financially (living expenses, tuition, financial aid, etc.) What is the best academically? Thanks!

You can look up financial info yourself (you are on the Net aren't you?), otherwise it really comes down to what you plan on studying and Majoring in.

UWashington is the best, followed by Gonzaga, then WSU and Seattle. I would recommend going to UW if you got in because it is a very good school and it would probably be cheaper than Gonzaga, even if you were paying out of state tuition. You should also apply to Gonzaga as well. Financial aid depends on what the university can give you, if you qualify. I haven't heard of Seattle earning an expensive place to live award, so I imagine that it isn't too bad (certainly wont be like San Francisco or New York City)

Depends on your feel of the school, your degree, and finances. If you like the cities, and have no problem with city crime go to UW, Seattle U, Gonzaga (trust me, it is in a booming city). Washington State University is a town school, and its degrees of study is broad allowing flexibility with the major (unlike some schools). In Washington State University, advisers are one on one with student's decision. You can go undecided, like some, and still find a major of your choice. Crime is low in WSU. Ranked 1 for safest school in Washington. There is a Fernands Ice cream and cheese store within the University. I suggest looking around the Universities to have the feel. There is an airport close by. Cons about Washington State University A long scenic drive which lots of rocks can be collected (I am majoring in geology)
