Talk to me about the Gonzaga college Instagram

[Anonymous]

So I have been following the college announcement Instagrams of several potential schools for a son, and I am curious about the Gonzaga one. An extraordinarily high percentage of the boys seem to be going into finance/business/economics and the accompanying goal statement (admittedly it is a jokey thing) is something to the effect of "I want to be rich". There isn't generally a whole lot about service or Men for Others or wanting to make the world a better place (although there is for some). Gonzaga is obviously a big school with a huge and very diverse alumni base, but how would people say the service mission of the school plays out for young men after they leave the school or later in life? I would add that the choice of majors and stated life goals for the other schools' college Instagrams are more diverse and more ... high-minded I guess.

I wouldn't read too much into that. I think the boys submit the goals narrative themselves.

Kids who go to schools that cost $50k a year want to make money. Shocking.

Pretty much every upper middle class kid in America wants to study:
-finance
-engineering
-pre med--often as biology or public heath or neuroscience.


Look at the instagrams from every school. The majors are 80% business/finance and then 10% of each of the others.

Which might be a useful comment for schools that cost that much. Not useful here.

Conveniently exposes your lack of basic knowledge of the school so OP will know you aren’t able to answer their Q.

They have worked hard and played hard, well many of them, for four years. Most of the comments are just having some fun. I wouldn’t read much into it.

$60K isn't a huge difference? Invested throughout HS, that's usually paying for a full year of college at least.

The school decides what they want to put out to the world on social media, though.

It is t the school’s social media. The students run these accounts. They are not official or managed by the schools in any way.

^ *isn’t* the school’s social media.

This. The Gonzaga kids for the most part are some of the nicest at least.
