Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming to Gustavus Adolphus

  • People lie on their housing applications.

  • A full-time class at Gustavus is one credit; a full-time student takes between 4 and 5 credits a semester.

  • Diversity is a very hot-button issue.

  • It’s just like going to high school: everyone is somehow connected.

  • You need to own a really good winter jacket.

  • It really is windier on the Hill than anywhere else in town.
