Seattle University
Seattle University, founded in 1891, is a Jesuit Catholic university located on 50 acres in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. More than 7,900 students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs within eight schools and colleges.
U.S. News and World Report's "Best Colleges 2012" ranks Seattle University among the top ten universities in the West that offer a full range of masters and undergraduate programs.
From SeattleU.edu
Seattle University sits at the heart of the Northwest’s largest and most dynamic city. Founded in 1891, Seattle University today is consistently ranked among the top 10 universities in the West by U.S. News & World Report. Its elegantly landscaped 50-acre campus has been designated a Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary. It offers excellent academic facilities and recreational spaces, and its food service specializes in serving fresh, seasonal, and regional products. Residence halls are clean and comfortable, and each room has a sink and vanity. Approximately 225 students and 60 staff are expected to attend each session.

The dorms are said to be extremely nice. They have a sink and a vanity for each room. There are triple, double and single rooms. There will be around 200-280 people attending this year. CTY and CAA will be sharing this camp.
The administrative CTY staff at Seattle U keep an extremely tight set of rules. The staff is not flexible yet and requires constant RA supervision of students beyond that of any other campus. On the first day of sesson 1 2013 some students were not allowed to go to the bathroom without an RA waiting out side the door. Also a quick side note. Ninja was banned in CTY Seattle during session 1 2013. A computer science student had received a concussion on the second day playing ultimate frisbee. A few days later his head was hit accidentally during a game of ninja. At the exact moment of impact, the academic director was watching. Later that day it was announced that ninja was banned. Another major injury in session 1 2013 occurred during ultimate frisbee when two students collided. The taller one's teeth ripped open the forehead of the shorter.
