Gonzaga University Top Questions

The most unique thing was that there were classes available that were online but required reseidency programs that allowed for a connection with other students that may not have been made in the online classroom. The residency classes allowed for some very interesting relationships to build as well as for interaction that was not available in distance learning only programs.

What is most unique about Gonzaga is the community produced here. When touring the school, my guide seemed to know everyone. Every part of campus she was waving at someone or saying hi to another. I wanted that; I wanted somewhere I felt like I belong. I have found that at Gonzaga.

It has a very unique community because the community is so strong.

This school has a very good community and everyone feels welcome and that is one of the best things I like about this school. The small classes are also very unique which makes learning much easier and more one on one and valuable to the students.

I am a city girl and Spokane is not a city at all. But although it does not have a lot of malls, that is what I enjoy of Gonzaga's location. I know I won't be distract a lot, but when I am distracted it will be something active, such as hiking, walking by the river, rock climbing, or ice skating. Gonzaga is a school that looks big, but it is not and that is what I like the most. The small community that allows eveyone to meet everyone.

What's unique about Gonzaga University applies more or less to the minority. When i say minority i mean all other ethnicities/ races that are not the majority (predominantly white). I am african american, so from that i acknowledge that i have to double the effort of my white peers to get the same grade or better grade. This uniqueness has also allowed me to se life in a different perspective. Being around a white community tells me that what I do with my life does matters and extremely important. But it does not mean i speak for my race

I don't feel lost in the classroom or on campus. My biggest class has 40 students, so the professor can get to know you. Around campus I feel like I already know a lot of people despite it being only my first year. Gonzaga is a big school with the "small school feel."

The one thing that stands out to anyone who visits or attends Gonzaga University is its incredible sense of community. With a total of just over 6,000 students, (including both graduate and undergraduate ,) GU is big enough that you meet someone new every day, but small enough that you see people you know, no matter where you are on campus. Gonzaga is a Jesuit institution, but you do not need to be religious to be part of this community. When I toured other schools around the country, no other university's sense of community stood out like Gonzaga's.

Very prestigious. It actually lives up to its reputation.

When you walk on to this campus it just feels like home. The people are a family and they respect each other as such. This school is not only preparing me to be a good worker in the the work force, but to be a complete and good person as well.
