What is the stereotype of students at Gonzaga University?

Alex

The Majority of Gonzaga students come from either Washington, Oregon, Colorado, or Arizona. There are two general types of people at GU, the very studious individual who enjoys the small class size and what GU offers, and the second type of person at GU is the Upper class individual who has alumni connections to the school. You get a fair amount of jesus freaks resulting from the Jesuit traditions.

The biggest stereotype about Gonzaga University students are that everyone here is overly religious, because it is a small Jesuit school.

That all of the students come from upper-middle class families. That there is very little diversity. That the kids don't know how to have fun.

Jon Stewart on the Daily Show commented that all Gonzaga students are drunks and all the girls have crabs.

All Catholic kids, undercover party and drug school, rich white kids with money to spend on anything they wish, laid back atmosphere, located in horrible spokane, extremely nice and welcoming campus

One stereotype I've heard is that all the students that go here come from a wealthy family and the students don't need a job or need to do anything to financially help support their educational expences.

Going to Gonzaga is just like going to a private catholic high school.

Catholic, rich, business majors, Californian's, conservative, politically and socially unaware, unaccountable

Gonzaga has a great basketball team, high academic standards and a very fit student population. There are also quite a few redheads here.

Cassandra

The stereotypical Gonzaga student comes from an upper-middle class (or higher) background and is believed to get everything he/she wants from their parents.

Elizabeth

I think that a lot of people come here expecting everyone to be really nice and open minded because a lot of that is preached in the literature that the school passes out when you apply and when you go on tours around the school.
