    Gustavus is a very warm environment with the campus being a smaller one. Sometimes it becomes very repetitive if a student does not vary their extracurricular activities but there are always a lot of activities that go on during the week and weekends that provide opportunities to expand knowledge and find new interests. The location of Gustavus is somewhat remote because St. Peter seems like a small town but in truth it is stretched out and Mankato is only a fifteen minute drive away which provides off-campus activities. The school also provides activities which, for a small fee, are open to the entire campus such as going to a Twins game or going apple picking in the fall. Some of the most popular places on campus are the Arboretum, the Caf (where they serve excellent food), and the Lund Center. Lund is the health and fitness center so there are workout rooms, a pool and a hot tub and sauna which is open to everyone to work out or just relax. read full review

    Gusties are kind, considerate, and friendly people. Even with the wind (it is extremely windy) people still have smiles on their faces. The cafeteria is outstanding (Top Ten Best Campus Food in the Country. Literally.). The buildings are nice to look at, and there is plenty of things to do during the week or on the weekends.

    Activities are constantly going on, including concerts in the Cafe, improv comedies, guest speakers, game nights, and dances. There is never a lack of things to do in between studying!

    The town of Saint Peter is very small, and the movie theater isn't the greatest. Luckily, Mankato is about 15 minutes away, and you can get anything you need from there. It makes life more enjoyable when you can get to Target! read full review
