UW or SPU

I also heard that UW honors is more liberal arts based. I’m also a hard-science person and didn’t bother applying to the honors program for that reason–more time for research, volunteering, social, etc.

SPU consistently sends students to medical school, so if that’s the route you’re going, you may want to check them out especially if it’s less money. I believe that you would have good opportunities at both universities, but UW is bigger and does have more resources because of that. If you’re looking for smaller classes, SPU is the way to go. I have no doubt that either would provide a solid education in the sciences–especially SPU if you want to go into environmental science/marine chemistry.
