Had I known that GV was so lacking in social activities, I my have reconsidered coming here. That being said, I don't regret choosing GV because I have met some great people and have had awesome prefessors that I couldn't have gotten elsewhere. I would also advise people not to go into the Honors College like I did. It's a lot more work and you don't get anything extra out of it. It just brings your GPA down.

I chose this school, there was nothing that I wished I had known prior.

How many loans I would need to take out and how little financial aid I would get regardless of how good my grades are.

The atmosphere is a perfect balance between academics and extracurricular activities. GVSU is a wonderful university to attend if you want a serious focus on academics while being able to enjoy yourself during your free time. Things are set up perfectly for you to find your own niche within the student body. Whether your interests lie in academic, athletics, or extracurriculars Grand Valley will be perfect for you. If you decide to attend GVSU, you won't regret your decision!

Before I Decided to go to Grand Valley State University I wish I would of known how boring it was going to be. Every weekend students leave the campus to go to Central Michigan University or Western Michigan or M.S.U. This is because the cops around hear are ridiculously nosey not allowing you to do anything
Katherine
I wish I had known that certain loans only cover so much and that it ends up costing a lot!
Hannah
How much different it was than the first college i attened for a year
Dara
There is nothing that comes to mind. I new it would take more than 4 years.

Before I arrived at Grand Valley, I wish I had known how to better manage my time with schoolwork. After high school, I'm so used to having a set schedule everyday, but in college, everyday is completely different. It is sometimes difficult to concentrate on studies between classes or at the end of the day.

I wish I would have been more diverse. Where I came from consisted of mostly white people and even those who weren't white were very assimilated. When I came to college, it was a huge culture shock, never being in any type of city where I would see diversity. I believe that it's very important for one to be exposed to other cultures, even in a setting where everyone seems to be the same-- it can still be taught better in school when they are unfortunately not diverse.
