Brennden

I brag about the fact that GVSU is second in the state to only The University of Michigan when it comes to academics and that everywhere you look on Grand Valley's campus there are good-looking girls.

That it is a hard school to get into. It's the second hardest school to get into and is fairly priced. I feel like I am getting a lot for my money and am extremely proud that I go to Grand Valley.

Second highest freshman class GPA, after U of M. Soon, the second hardest school in the state to get into. Great food. beautiful campus. grand rapids is so close and there's lots to do. All our varsity sports make in to the post season. I always interact well with faculty. Starbuck's downtown!

Jayme

The class sizes are perfect, and the campus is absolutely beautiful. I like giving my friends the mental image of myself when I sit on the lawns with my computer or work in the sunny study rooms of the buildings. I also love how extremely eco-friendly our college is. Not many universities can brag about being in the top 25 most green campuses in America (according to Kaplan Publishing).

Bryan

The quality of education. The education department especially the physical education department really has a large emphasis of thinking about the bigger picture. Many professors have tried to relay the message to us students that it is not about us, it never was about us, and it will never be about us. The students are the ones who deserve the focus. What?s best for them is best for us. This view is how I try to live my life.

Casey

Requirements for entering the school, sports, guy to girl ratio, and job placement after graduation.

Elizabeth

My favorite thing to brag about is the friendliness of the campus. On my first visit, I was greeted by students and staff. They asked if I had any questions or needed anything. This continued on sequential trips. I always make it a point to talk to students who are visiting and making them feel welcome.
