Academics

Gustavus likes to tout that there is an average of only 17 students in a classroom, and professor attention is one of the school’s biggest draws. Most professors genuinely care about the students, take time to learn more about them, and always have their doors open for questions or concerns. Virtually no classes, with the exception of a few science labs, are taught by TAs—many are around simply to answer questions and to make sure you don’t exceed a professor’s allotted number of absences. Small class sizes...

And whether Gusties find a guy or girl similar to themselves or a polar opposite, the...

Athletics

Though the Gustie Rouser is a staple during first-year orientation and for those with excessive amounts of school spirit, the majority of Gustie athletic fans are calm, cool, and have no idea what is going on when part of the crowd starts fervently clapping and chanting. Though the majority of varsity events have sparse crowds, the hockey rink and basketball arena are guaranteed to be packed to capacity no matter how good, bad, or ugly the season is going. Hockey is a way of life in Minnesota, so a hockey...
