Tour Sullivan Hall

There are two ways to see Sullivan Hall, a self-guided tour or walking with a current student. Both begin at the Admission Office. All aspects of Sullivan Hall are highlighted. If you prefer a guide over the self-guided option, please call to set up an appointment.

During the academic year we offer tours of Sullivan Hall on select Saturdays. This popular event provides you with the opportunity to get the "inside scoop" on the Seattle University experience. Current students will answer your questions, concerns, fears and curiosity on what it means to apply to law school and survive and enjoy it. All events begin at 2:00 at the Side Bar on the first floor and end by 4:00. RSVP is required as space is limited to 15 students per event. Kindly RSVP to lawadmis@seattleu.edu, 206.398.4200, or 1.800.471.1767. This fall's Coffee Talks will be held on October 13th and 27th and will be led by 2L Jonathan Nichols.

Visit a 1L Class

What better way is there to find out what law school is about than sitting in on a class? Class visits are only available fall and spring semesters, and classes typically end the last week of April. We offer class visits every day of the week. View the schedule, then give us a call to let us know which class you are interested in, and we will be happy to schedule your visit.
