leporidae Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm sorry, but I just wrote a very long entry and it got deleted. I'm frustrated, and so, this entry will be shorter and more concise. I apologize. I've been to Seattle before and I really loved it. I'm thinking of applying to the following schools for psychology-related MA degrees. Please tell me what you think of each school, what it's reputation is etc. I appreciate your help. Seattle University Western Washington - What is Bellingham like? Bastyr Northwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatechoosingusernames Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm originally from Washington and graduated from college in Seattle Bastyr and Northwest are...meh. Seattle U is fantastic and has a great reputation, and Western is also great. I grew up very close to Bellingham and it's a fantastic place to live, especially if you love outdoor activities. It's slower-paced than a big city like Seattle (Bellingham is called the City of Subdued Excitement for a reason!) but there's still a lot to do and experience while you're up there. They have a beautiful campus. Is there a specific type of counseling psychology you're looking at? You might also take a look at Antioch University or Seattle Pacific University.

Tigris Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I've lived in Seattle my whole life and also went to undergrad there, so hopefully I can help a little! I'd definitely agree that Seattle Pacific University is a strong school and worth considering as well, but I'm not sure what they offer as far as MA counseling/clinical psych programs. I know they have a marriage and family therapy MA program and a strong I/O psych program, but I'm not sure besides that. Seattle U has a good reputation and I know a few people who currently attend who are really happy there. It's right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of downtown. Western is also a great school with a lot to offer. I haven't been up to Bellingham much, but it has a very different feel from Seattle. Depending on what you like about Seattle, it may or may not have what you are looking for. It's in a very beautiful area of Washington! Honestly, I would not recommend Northwest. It doesn't have as high of a reputation as the other schools, though, to be fair, I don't know a lot about their graduate-level programs/quality of training.
