Gonzaga University Top Questions

While they give you plenty of opportunties for extracurricular activites, the course load is so heavy it is impossible to actually sign up for everything that I would want to do. Being involved in Engineering gives me time for very few activities outside of homework, and then the work I put in the theater takes up any free time I might have.

There is a lack of religious and racial diversity at the school, which can create a skewed world view since there are limited student perspectives.

It lacks real diversity. A good chunck of the school are Catholic, caucasion, upper-middle class business majors. Many of the programs and classes also seem to take a career focused turn, always have the usefulness to the job in sight, instead of just making the education seem valuable on its own.

The on campus dining is awful. It is done through Sodexo and it is bad.

The way the students form cliques. I was a transfer, and the groups that go to the surrounding bars are vicious and protective of the people they already know. It seemed impossible to become friends if you didn't belong to begin with.

It's current focus on growing the volume of the student body; thought it is still considerably small fewer than 5,000 undergraduates, I enjoy it's current size.
