Gonzaga University Top Questions

I feel my university places a lot of emphasis on diversity and yet our student body is lacks a diverse population. The university needs to work more on recruiting diverse applicants rather than emphasizing diversity.

Because of the small class sizes, it's hard to fly under the radar in a class you might not be that interested in.

the cost of attendance is really high; you can get in on merit, but they don't help you much to stay in.

Diversity. There is almost no diversity, but diversity is extremely welcome.

Reading load. Personally, I have a lot of trouble with the reading load as I will have 4 of my 6 classes assign me anywhere between 70 and 200 pages between each class meeting. If I only had this for 1 or 2 classes, I could handle it without too much difficulty, but as it is I often have to skim the book or hope that the professor doesn't give us a test in the next class.

After 3 full years at Gonzaga, the 4000 undergraduate population becomes fairly small. Though I have made many good friends, the weekend activities (as well as the week) tends to become a bit routine and repetitive. I've loved every minute, but I am ready to move on and meet new people with different perspectives- this school is not very diverse.

I'm not going to lie, but the cafeteria here is a joke. If you are interested in gaining the Freshman 15, then maybe you would consider this heaven. This is the only thing I can say negatively about Gonzaga. Oh and for groceries? The only store in walking distance is an overpriced, understocked Safeway. Better bring your car or mooch off a friend and go somewhere else. I highly recommend the bronze meal plan, as you can get the most flex dollars and dine on the campus restaurants.

It can get a bit cliquey, those cliques are pretty open and accepting, and you find your own, but you still see distinct groups

Th health center is not very good. It needs to be open 24/7.

The lack of diversity. Also, every incoming freshman class is the biggest class Gonzaga has seen. I wish the school would try to maintain their small-school community.
