Gustavus Adolphus College Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Denise

It is good to get involved in activities right away instead of waiting and starting later.

Marit

i wish i would have known how cold it got in the winters.

Trent

That the mid-west and its people is hella boring and getting a 3.5 GPA to maintain my President's scholarship would be fuckin' hard.

Sam

The school is deceptive. It appears to be a welcoming place but once you are there it is like a prison. The administration is political and does not have the student's best interests at heart. They nickle and dime the students like its their job, and the rules and regulations are out of controll. They care little about the students and care most about the college's reputation. The students are freindly for the most part and the food is good, however there are little other choices for food around campus.

Amanda

You need to put time into your classes and study to get good grades. It's not like high school.

Ashley

I wish I had known that it was very academically challenging. It's definitely doable but can be very tough. I also wish I would have known how liberal it was. I am a conservative and sometimes my views aren't recieved well among students and professors. But overall it is a really great school.

Kristin

More about all of the activities to be involved it. There are so many here, and now that I'm a sophomore it's great to see all of the opportunities that lie ahead of me, and it is wonderful to be apart of community service organizations, a varsity sports team, and to be recognized by the school as being in one of the best soroities on campus.
