Hello!
I am a Washington state resident trying to decide between attending University of Washington Seattle or Seattle Pacific University next year. I plan on going into something chemistry-related. I received academic and a music scholarship from SPU that makes it a bit cheaper than UW. I was leaning towards SPU because I felt like I would get more opportunities for internships and build up a better network of people because I would definitely be one of the smarter students at SPU (3.9 GPA, 2210 SAT). However, I was accepted into the UW Honors program so now the decision is really tough for me. I have heard that UW Honors can be a waste of time for science majors (with the required liberal arts classes), but I have also heard that the honors science classes are a lot smaller than the normal science classes, so there is a better chance to get to know your profs. I would love to hear from anyone with experience with UW honors. Anyway, I would appreciate your thoughts, thanks!
