I’ve loved my experience at Gonzaga! All the staff and professors are incredibly kind and helpful. They all work to accomplish the humanistic Gonzaga mission statement, and I feel like I have an incredible amount of support in every direction. The school is HUGE on giving back to the community, and there are plenty of community service opportunities. Class sizes are small so you get to know your classmates and professors well. I’ve only had an issue with the housing and dining services, but a lot of people are happy with these services. I can’t wait to continue my education there.
Great experience if you're not a transfer. As a transfer, I've had to jump through too many hoops to make it work and have been treated unfairly, because having junior status should mean I "know how things work here". The administration is also unjust in leniency towards their students in times of natural disasters. With windstorms that struck through Spokane and downed thousands of trees, students were still expected to go to class. When icy conditions that shut down all other school districts occurred, we still had class. With the COVID-19, they cut a week out of the semester, but won't issue refunds to students for that missing week (meaning the University pockets $9.5 million from the 7400+ students attending the university for just that one week).
The administration promotes the idea of treating everyone fairly through caring, but they certainly don't live up to it if you're not in the group of full 4-year students.

The honors program at Gonzaga is awesome! All of my friends are in it and we are a strong cohort of smart students who have great in class discussions. School spirit is high and the campus is beautiful. I have loved my time so far and look forward to my next two years. Also the study abroad programs are diverse and span many countries. I love being at a Jesuit college because the Jesuit ideals really drive my classes to think bigger than just one subject and inspire students to be service-oriented. If I could pick again I would pick Gonzaga.
