So, I'm considering applying to Seattle University and I'm curious about what housing costs like there. Any current or former students that can give me a ballpark figure? Thanks!
While I don't have personal experience as a student at Seattle University, the school does provide estimated housing costs on their website, which is quite helpful for future planning.
The cost can range depending on the type of housing you choose. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the costs for housing range from approximately $2,567 to $4,490 per quarter, depending on the residence hall you get assigned to.
Keep in mind that these values could fluctuate slightly by the time you would be attending, and would not include a meal plan or other personal expenses. The costs could potentially decrease if you decide to live off-campus after your first year, but Seattle does have a high cost of living in comparison to other cities, so off-campus does not necessarily mean cheaper.
While the cost seems high, remember that housing is an integral part of the college experience, especially for a university like Seattle University where dorms and the campus community are emphasized. Therefore, it's important to factor these elements when you're considering the overall cost. In your budgeting, do consider other costs like tuition, meals, and books to understand the full cost of attendance.
