Grand Valley State University Top Questions

Some students just don't like to become invovled in activities. These are the students you typically find complaining that they are not having a good time at Grand Valley. They will soley focus on academics, work and go back to their rooms, not socialize then call mom and dad to tell them how horrible their experience is.

So far, I have been somewhat disappointed in the variety of religion and races within the student population at GVSU. Although, I have been exposed to a substantial variety of backgrounds and beliefs in my two years, I feel that a greater emphasis on variety and culture would further enrich the students and their experiences at GVSU.

Diversity has always been an issue for me.

With the local and state economy struggling and the job outlook not being good at all, it is hard for me to justify my professors getting a pay increase that is directly put on my shoulders.
