An Engaged Community From the moment they arrive on campus, Seattle University students start making friends for life. The forging of friendships is one of many benefits of living on campus, where daily interactions build a close-knit community and help you make the most of your SU experience. Nine out of 10 freshmen live on campus and are guaranteed on-campus housing their first two years. They enjoy a whirlwind of activities, from midnight card games and movie nights to open mic performances and lively discussions. Living on campus provides lasting experiences and memories.
