Gustavus is such a wonderful learning environment! Classes are challenging but there are so many resources (tutors, upperclassmen, profs--anyone!!) that are here to help you through it all. It is truly a learning community. Class sizes are perfect in that all of your profs know who you are and something about you. They all want to see you do well and make time for you.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There is a huge sense of community up on the hill! People are so friendly and there is always stuff to do! It is a very active campus with lots of socializing!!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Yes, sticker price is a huge shock. I believe that if you don't use all of the resources they have for you on campus, you're throwing your money away and that could be anywhere.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Always take two visits. The first time will be so much broader but when you visit a campus for the second time you are able to see it in a better light and see things you didn't necessarily notice before!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
It is perfect for students who don't mind being in little ole St. Peter and can deal with the nearest Target being about 15 minutes away. There is a lot of academic work, but it pays off! Perfect distance form home if you live in the metro area!
