Grand Valley State is best known for Education and Sciences. I am in the Art education program and it is a very tight knitted group. I do not know very much about the majors outside of my major. But within my major I know that Grand Valley is great for Art and Edcuation. They also are lovely for biology!

Grand Valley is known for it's competitiveness and small class sizes. It's an optimal learning environment here because the teachers can be much more hands on as a result of the smaller sized classes. There is competitiveness in every aspect of Grand Valley, from being accepted into programs to having the best sports team! For example, I'm trying to get into the Nursing Program, and the College Of Nursing here only accepts 80 students per semester!

Grand Valley is known for having state of the art facilities as it is a relatively young school. It is also consistently ranked at the top of NCAA Division 2.

Grand Valley State University is known for its overall "happy valley" feeling. Its friendliness and care towards its students is exceptional and the campus is beautiful. The very first thing that comes to anyones's mind when it comes to Grand Valley is that the campus is extraoridnary. It's always clean and environmentally orientated.
Sara
To be honest, I don't know of any traditions.
Julia
Grand Valley is best known for its focus on providing a strong liberal education. It is known for requiring students to inquire, analyze, and reflect. GVSU places an emphasis on helping students develop these skills since they are necessary in order for students to gain self-knowledge and think for themselves.
Josh
My school is probably best known for the physical therapy program and of course our nationally ranked football team. A perfect combination of brains and brawn.
Michael
sports, and job placement
Randy
My school is best known for their football team and their accademics. I am currently on the football team and it is a great program that expects the best out of you. This means they expect you to do well in the hard academic classes, and if you don't do well then you will most likely not be on the team.
Erik
Our school is known for our athletics and high academic achievements. GVSU's football team is nationally ranked and brings a great college atmosphere to this wonderful campus. Our campus has been expanding over the past few years and is just spectacular. GVSU's PEW campus in Downtown GR gives students the opportunity to experience city life, a change of pace from the Allendale Campus. The shuttle is very easy to work and is easy for students to take the short 15 minute ride to the GR PEW campus or the short 5 minute ride to your off-campus apartment!
Ashley
GVSU is known for its amazing Division II Football team and their many championships. We have great winning sports teams all around, from swimming to soccer.

Kim
Grand Valley is best known for their academic excellence and their attention to their students. We have exceptional services all around campus that help students with tuition, academic struggles, and almost anything else imaginable. Here at Grand Valley, the professors make an effort to get to know their students. From experience, this has helped me out tremendously. Knowing that my professors want to get to know me shows me that they truly care, and it makes them much more approachable so I can ask them any questions I need to without feeling embarrassed.

Atmosphere is everything at my school. I would say there are no other places like Grand Valley State University. We seem to have all we can hope for, such as a great education program, an awesome gym, many activities to do around campus, the food, and much more. Students know they can have a relaxing time here, and still be able to get work accomplished while enjoying a sweet smoothie from Java City. Seeing for yourself is the only way to truly know what are school is best known for.
Erin
They have small classes and excellent professors and course work that helps students succeed. They have strong science, biology and pre-med courses that attract the majority of our students.

Good academic programs, strong athletics, being "green"
Fateah
The athletics and increasing academic success. Also it's small and diversified. The classroom size holds at least a minimun of 25-30 students so you can have some type of one on one time with the professor if needed!
