When I was at Gonzaga, we had about 2000 undergrads, about 800 lived on campus. It was a welcoming, close knit community.

Thanks in part to the success of the basketball teams over the past 25 years, enrollment has grown to over 6000. Based on my last visit about 7 years ago, GU has retained its reputation as a close community.

Most of my classes had fewer than 20 students, although my accounting classes had more than 60.
