What Students Are Saying
Gonzaga is an amazing school I couldn't be any happier. Most professors are super cool and you really feel at home here. The food isn't bad, you get a quality education, and the school really focuses on not just giving you a piece of paper that constitutes as a degree but also on getting you internships/jobs.
