Residential Campus

Gustavus is primarily a Residential Campus, so getting permission to go off-campus is very tricky, and not always guaranteed. Also, you need to have at least 3-4 friends that share and apartment to stay in the nice student living spaces off-campus, St. Peter isn't a big enough town to support a lot of cheap apartments for only one person. The benefits of living off campus is that it is probably cheaper in the long run, but you will probably want a car sometimes because going up the hill can get tiresome. The disadvantages are that Res Life makes it hard to live off-campus, and you miss a lot of the community atmosphere GAC is known for.
