someone looking for a good value

Christopher

Any type of person, my sister went here and every ethnicity/religion is welcome. I've seen every type of person just walking around the campus, no one stays segregated either. It's nothing like the asian people stay in one clique and than african americans are in another, it's a very warm welcome feeling like you're not stepping out of you're home it's just an addition to it.

Matthew

The kind of person who should attend this school is someone who wants a liberal arts education and is willing to work their tail end off to become successful. This school is not for someone who wants to party every night because the teachers make you think critically and I do not think someone will be able to do that hungover and sleep deprived.

Leah

I attend the business school at GVSU. Students who are not ready for a vigerous work load should not apply. All the faculty has worked in the field they are teaching or have doctoral degrees. They expect a lot out of their students. Students who are another ethnicity that white should also apply. GVSU is a majority of middle class white students. This is only due to their location. It would be beneficial to the school and other students to have more diversity in the classrooms.

Travis

Anyone who is willing to get to know people on more than just a professional basis. Students and faculty alike enjoy talking and getting to know each other. Someone who enjoys campus life, or being out in public with a number of people you dont know at a social event. Someone who cares about getting a great education at a fairly affordable cost.

Glenna

This school is a great for many different kinds of students. Grand Valley has an exceptional English program (the program that I am interested in), as well as very strong athletics, and a great social structure. As a transfer student, I was afraid that I would not fit in at Grand Valley, but within the first week of classes, I made friends, and even established myself within the classrooms. From the experiences that I have had, all types of students are accepted; there is not simply "one type of student" that would be welcome at GVSU.

Brittany

A person who is focused academically and can handle the unpredictable weather!

Students who want to study and enjoy their friends instead of partying and skating by their classes will succeed the most here. There are numerous study programs and areas that can accomodate any type of student as well as activities a group of friends can enjoy when taking some time off.

Ashley

Any person that wants to better themselves and earn a degree should greatly consider Grand Valley.

Sannita

Those who enjoy a diverse atmosphere full of outgoing, fun people. This school does take pride in their athletic teams as well as their students academic success. If you're the type of person looking to make a difference or a mark somewhere and you want to do it with fun GVSU is your school. Not only are they a recognizable school, but a school that never stops having something to offer their students.

Danyel

Since Grand Valley is in Western Michigan, it is a fitting school for someone that is very conservative. Though they are accepting of any and all religions and views, a more conservative person would feel more comfortable here.

Jessica

Lauren

Someone who isn't looking for a huge party school. There's stuff going on during the weekends, but it isn't like there's huge parties every day of the week. There's a decent art/theater/music department here, but the biggest focus is on nursing, business, and education degrees.
