i went to WSU and took a couple classes in the business school because it was also required for my major, but i honestly don't know how good the school actually is compared to Seattle U. I know that it is getting harder and more competitive to get into the business school at WSU - they raised the GPA and they've made study abroad a "requirement" (or you can take extra classes to override the requirement... thus not really making it a requirement, lol). but my 2 cents is that if you're looking for anything big business related, seattle is the place to be just because really it offers more opportunity while you're in school. not saying that people that graduate from WSU don't do as good or dont find jobs just as easily... but going to school in seattle provides you the opportunity to try to find internships at a wide variety of big companies and corporations while you're in school. at WSU you can't really do internships while you're at school there or even work or volunteer at any reputable companies because, well, there aren't any in pullman. i do have a friend whose roommate is a business major at seattle u and she really likes it. one of her projects i think she said involved actually making your own business or marketing a product or something in the seattle area and really actually making and selling stuff like a real business. don't know what class it was for or if they had any business classes as wsu that actually go out and do that type of thing. she also mentioned that her roommate had internships each summer at major companies here and elsewhere in the country... don't know if thats just because she's really smart and ambitious or if seattle u really pushes it more than wsu. i wasn't a business major, but my major is still one that sort of requires an internship to get anywhere in the business and i regret going to wsu over a university in seattle. just because it made it that much more difficult to try and do an internship in seattle especially since i wasn't from around seattle and knew nothing about the city, had to roommates, etc and that would've been completely different had i gone to school there and been semi-established in the city.
