This school did a great job of preparing me for a job in public accounting and what lies beyond. I loved my experience here and would go back again if I had the chance. Take advantage of everything the school has to offer. The professors there really want to see you succeed. Talk to them, get their advice and follow it. Great school!

Academics: I'm a Communication major so it's way easy. Most of the core classes are moderately difficult but you can get an A no problem by talking to the teachers and all that. Healthy mix of challenging and easy majors here and the core classes are overall a good thing in my opinion.

Social Life: Everyone lives on campus freshman and sophomore year. You get to know everyone. If you're looking to live a glamorous college lifestyle don't come here, go to UW or somewhere with a greek system. People are pretty laid back here. Lots of kids who were on the fringe of being popular in high school are popular here, which is kinda weird. But you'll get used to it. Overall, my academic journey at Gonzaga has been top notch but I'd chose to attend somewhere else if I had the chance. The social life is a little slow for me and I don't like how small everything is. Gonzaga is essentially a large Catholic high school. Spokane winters suck, too. The girls here are average and the guys are dorks. I like it to a degree, but I wouldn't come again... not the right fit.

Gonzaga is not like a typical college campus- which can be a good or a bad thing depending on what you're looking for. It's easiest to describe the social atmosphere of Gonzaga from a high school lens. Basically, Gonzaga is a place where those who were just outside the cusp of popularity in high school can go and be popular. The majority of the students their love the outdoors, granola, and frolicking about aimlessly while they profess their "long-term" love and knowledge of Gonzaga basketball. That said, the education (with the exception of the communications department) is top par. Gonzaga University really bends over backwards for their students in every way. I give the school itself an A+, I give the students that go to the school a C-.
Education Quality: A+, Social Life: D-
