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!

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.
