Location

INTERLINK at Seattle Pacific University (SPU) is located in Seattle, Washington, USA. Seattle Pacific University is a small, private university located in a safe residential neighborhood, just a few minutes north of downtown Seattle.

INTERLINK SPU students spend 20 hours a week in intensive English language courses. Optional elective classes and tutoring also available. Sessions are 5 weeks long. Students may choose to live with a host family or in off-campus apartments.

Seattle is located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with views of mountains and water in every direction. The city is at sea level and therefore enjoys a mild climate. Seattle is famous for its high-tech industries, music scene, coffee shops, and shopping districts. Seattle was ranked the most educated city in the United States in 2006, and is also home to famous companies such as Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon and Starbucks. Seattle also has a good public transportation system, so it’s easy to get around.

Our mission is to provide students with the language skills, cultural knowledge and experience they need to use English to effectively communicate in academia and the workplace and to provide opportunities for personal growth.

 

 

Academically qualified students enjoy the convenience of receiving conditional admission prior to starting their language program at INTERLINK.

Housing Options

Homestay – Homestays can help you practice speaking English in your living environment. The length of time can be flexible and costs are often most reasonable. You can choose from several experienced homestay providers in the Seattle area:

Apartment – INTERLINK has apartments near them that are safe and convenient. Apartments provide the freedom to live independently, but may involve fixed-time commitment leases. Our staff can assist you in finding resources to find an apartment. One resource is CORT apartment searches and furniture rentals for unfurnished apartments.

Dormitory – SPU Dormitories may be available in June, July and August, but cannot be guaranteed. You can choose to live with one or more other students. Since INTERLINK places you, we can help if you have a problem.

Downtown Student Housing – Student housing in downtown Seattle can be found at Cornish Commons. Private or shared dormitory rooms are available.

Hostel – INTERLINK has a close relationship with the American Hotel in Seattle (www.hiusa.org/seattle), located within a short bus ride from the SPU campus and available year-round.
