How do I put this. I don’t mean to offend anyone but Washington State University has a wide variety of students and a wide variation of the degree to which they study and the degree to which they party. It’s a big school and my impression is you can get away with a lot there. I’m sorry if I’m offending people.

That said, I’ve known people who have attended WSU and have gone on to medical school. That is my barometer for whether you’re a high flyer, no one gets into medical school without stellar credentials. But I’ve also know people who have gone there and had a really good time.

Anyone who knows WSU is going to know this about the school and I would assume that a degree from WSU is not going to necessarily be recognized in the way that you want it to be.

Seattle University, on the other hand, is a good, solid, small school. You don’t get a degree from there without working for it. The class sizes are small and Seattle is a great place to live. I suppose some of your future employers won’t have heard of it, but the ones who have will know you studied to get your degree. If you can swing the finances I would go there.
