Greg's Review

Review of Gonzaga University

from Honolulu, HI

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

As an engineering student, I have a full schedule: maxed out at 18 credits. Even after maxing out, I decided to join a few music classes which you must fill out forms to be able to take the class, and then a fee waiver (or else you have to pay several thousand as an overload fee). The classes are quite educational; I am learning a lot. The only thing I hate is the religion classes.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I am having a lot of fun, probably due to the fact I have a good core of friends. If you come here, make sure to be friends with all kinds of people!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

It's pretty expensive, but with financial aid, it's not that bad. I'm taking 20 credits for tuition around that of my high school's, so it's not bad at all.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

It gets cold here. There are some creepy people in Spokane's Logan neighborhood which the campus is surrounded on 3 of 4 sides. Don't choose Marian Hall if you don't want to walk far - it's off-campus by few blocks. When it snows, you don't want to walk that, and then Frogger across a busy road between the dorm and campus.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

People who don't get homesick. People who like community. People who can handle work. People who like business or engineering.
