Prime Location

Cascadia College is located on the west coast of the United States, only 19 km from Seattle. Seattle is a friendly and culturally diverse place, and it's consistently ranked among America's best places to live, work and study. The Seattle area is home to world-class companies such as Starbucks, Microsoft, Boeing, T-Mobile, Costco and Amazon.

 

Cascadia’s beautiful campus, in the city of Bothell, is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, a river, and nature trails which means that students have everything they need right here. But part of studying abroad is discovering a new part of the world. Every quarter, international students take part in field trips and activities in and around Seattle. Students can visit Downtown Seattle or go on shopping trips. We also regularly organize outings and day trips to the places like the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, the Cascade Mountains or to professional sporting events. Students can go kayaking, hiking and camping, join student clubs, and attend campus events (like movies, performances, and global celebrations).

Our International Programs staff also organizes social events on Cascadia’s campus for students including international holiday gatherings, game days, and cultural events that give its students an opportunity to showcase their own cultures.
