Hi, I'm currently a junior considering my higher ed options. My family may be relocating to Renton, WA soon. Can anyone recommend good colleges or universities in or near Renton? I'm interested in the sciences, if that helps. Thanks!
Renton, Washington, is surrounded by quite a few colleges and universities, so you'll have several options to explore.
If you're looking to stay within the city of Renton itself, then Renton Technical College is a great option. It provides a range of programs from certificates to Associate degrees, including some in the sciences field.
Not too far away in Seattle, you'll find the University of Washington (UW), one of the top public schools in the country that is well-known for its science programs. Seattle University is also in the heart of the city and offers a range of programs.
Additionally, you might want to consider other schools in the Seattle metropolitan area such as Seattle Pacific University, and Pacific Lutheran University which aren't too far either.
In Bellevue, which is also a short drive from Renton, you could look at Bellevue College. It offers a broad range of science programs.
Remember, it's a good idea to visit each of these campuses, if possible, and speak with science faculty and current students. This can give you a better feel for the campus culture and the specifics of the science programs they offer. Best of luck with your college search!
