Bastyr University

What are the popular events and traditions at Bastyr University?

Reported Bastyr events include Community Day, a Talent/No Talent Show, and a graduation party and dance. They point to opportunities for students to gather outside their academic programs, although the schedule and format of an event may change from year to year.

Community-oriented programming is consistent with the university's health and service focus, while the talent event offers a less formal setting for participation. Graduation celebrations mark completion of programs that can have very different lengths and requirements. Students who hope to attend or volunteer should rely on the current campus events calendar rather than assume a reported tradition occurs in a particular term.

What are the student housing and dining options at Bastyr University?

Bastyr offers university-operated, coeducational housing for undergraduates, but most students live elsewhere. About 10% of students were reported as living on campus, compared with about 90% commuting. Housing availability therefore should not be mistaken for guaranteed placement.

Reported housing includes high-speed internet access. Applicants should check current eligibility, application timing, lease terms, and whether a room is available for their program's start date. Students living off campus will need to plan for rent, travel, and any late clinical or evening commitments.

Dining arrangements and meal-plan requirements should be confirmed with the housing or campus services office before a student builds a budget. In particular, students should not assume that a housing offer includes meals: food costs may need to be planned separately whether they live on campus or commute.
