They're all so different! Any pros/cons?

Seattle U Pros-
-Small, private college with small classes.
-Located right in the middle of the Seattle (an AWESOME city), so you'll never not have anything to do.
-Roman Catholic (This is a pro for me, personally, I don't know about you and your preferences)
-There are a lot of scholarships readily available!
Seattle U Cons-
-Can be kind of pricey-depending on what your family can afford. There's no way I can go if I don't get enough scholarship/grant/loan money.
-As far as I've heard, it is not very diverse at all, which isn't a HUGE problem, but I would love to be exposed to a bunch of new, different people!

I am not looking at Gonzaga because I am not interested in going to college in eastern Washington, but from what I've heard it is great!

Western Washington Pros-
-IT'S CHEAP. Haha
-Although it is a public school, it is generally small.
-It is a BEAUTIFUL school in a BEAUTIFUL part of Washington.
-From what I've heard, every one here is really easy-going.
-The town is really cozy and artsy, and there is a lot of stores not too far away from the campus.
Western Washington Cons-
-Bellingham is a small town where there is really not a lot to do unless you are outdoorsy or really creative with your time haha.


This is only from my experience, and I have only visited each once, so I'm working off of memory too! But they are both very high on my list of colleges.
I hope this helps a bit!

I disagree with taylorb in that Seattle U is not diverse. Sorry, but you have to be kidding me. Seattle U is on Capitol Hill which is known to be one of the most diverse parts of Seattle. It's pretty sick haha.

Anyways..
-Seattle U
Pros: in a diverse area, small classes, good with scholarships, I'm ASSUMING good with FAFSA, but don't take my word for it.
Cons: it's private, so it's expensive, religious (a con imo because I'd prefer the school I attend to be non-religious, but that's just a personal preference)

Gonzaga-
cons: pretty decent basketball team, decent with scholarships (I got more from Seattle than Gonzaga), and again, I assume they're decent with scholarships)
cons: it's in Spokane... definitely not a diverse area, religious, EXPENSIVE, about the same price tag as Seattle U

Western:
Pros: cheap, I've heard the campus is nice (I haven't been there myself yet), good psychology program (I have heard), good if you like snowboarding/skiing, close to mountains
Cons: it's a "mediocre" school I'd say, definitely doesn't compare to Gonzaga or Seattle, and it's in a rather boring town
