Seattle has very few students and is a small campus. So interaction with faculty , seeking advice and help is very comfortable. The faculty are very considerate. They make sure you get familiar with topics before they move on to the next one.
Campus Life
Campus is in the middle of the town. Amazon Seattle is just beside the campus. Infrastructure is great and comfortable. There is diversity in campus and every festival event is celebrated.

Seattle is quite costly. I live in an apartment with 2BHK and I'm paying the rent of 600$ per month. Utilities would cost more 100-200 $ . But it is walkable to the campus and is right in city.
