    Gustavus is expensive and will probably be more expensive your senior year than your freshman year. But, you get so many things provided on campus. Food, laundry, your books, everything can be found on campus. Still is Pricey, so take a look at scholarships and grants, after you see the price tag.

    Yes, the sticker price is a little overwhelming. However, Gustavus is great when it comes to scholarships and financial aid. For me it was less expensive to attend Gustavus than a State School.

    This school is a little overpriced in my opinion. And financial aid is hard to come, so start browsing online soon. Once you hit senior year, a lot of scholarships that they provide will go away.

    Gustavus is decently expensive, but they do give great financial aid, however the price of the college is still high. I would contest however that the environment here is worth the price you pay.
