To some degree comparing a large state school to a small private Jesuit school is apples and oranges.



Not really – as a Seattle resident, I have been to Seattle U. numerous times. As with many Jesuit colleges, the Catholic presence is, unfortunately (given its mission), largely nonexistent. In other words, attending Seattle U. is basically attending a secular college. That being said, because it is more LAC-like than Wazu, it will have a different.

For the record, in Washington, people seem to get more fired about about Wazu and there is a lot of alumni pride for the school, especially with the UDub-Wazu rivalry.

Also, Melinda Gates went to Duke for both degrees and never attended Seattle U. (I also know this for sure). The fact that she attended St. Monica MS is interesting, as it is an excellent parochial school.
