The campus is perfect. It is not to small, but you still recognize people. The class size is perfect, and the professors take the time to get to know each and everyone of their students.

My Education

The location of the school is excellent. Also, they have more than one campus so it is convenient when choosing classes.

The oppertunities that are available. You can do whatever you want on campus, and if we dont have it, there are people that are willing to help you bring it to our campus. whether it be a new program, a new degree, or a new organization.

I like how new and modern the school tends to be. There are lots of easy-to-use resources, and the buildings are all pretty new and in good shape.

Grand Valley is currently growing, most of the buildings are new or being redone. The campus is absolutely beautiful.

THe size of the campus and how friendly everyond is,

Grand Valley is an amazing school with a lot of very good programs. We have lots of school spirit and it is a beautiful campus.

The learning environment at Grand Valley is excellent. Each student is intelligent, concerned, and dedicated to doing well in school. I think it is a big change from high school because students are attending college because of a desire to be there and succeed. The professors treat students as equals and make learning enjoyable and interesting. I have never felt uncomfortable or unsafe at Grand Valley. Overall, my first year as a GVSU student was amazing.

The size of classes, usually 30-35 students to a professor. It is also always a professor teaching, not an aid.

I love that Grand Valley is a liberal arts school. And requires you to take classes that you wouldn't typically be required to take at an average college to make their students education well-rounded.

The massive growth the school is seeing.

I consider the athletic facilities to be the best part about Grand Valley. This is simply because I am there quite often and without it, I would have very little to do outside of school work that doesn't cost money. Everything around here seems to cost money especially because there is nothing within walking distance. You have to drive everywhere because the bus doesn't run to the mall in Grandville for free, nor does it go to the bars/clubs downtown.

There is are lots of on campus activities and the classrooms are often great learning environments.

I think that the class size and interactions with professors is one of the best aspects of Grand Valley. I have not had a class here with more than thirty students, all of my professors have known my name, and I have had the opportunity to develop close relationships with my classmates. The classes are big enough to encourage interesting discussion, but small enough to feel completely secure. Also, the professors are generally dynamic and engaging, and they make themselves quite accessible to students.

Small classes. Unless it's a lecture class usually the classes are capped at 35.

The best thing about my school is the location. It is in a small rural area, which ensures that we will be very safe. The second biggest city in Michigan, Grand Rapids, is just 20 minutes away, so there is still the big city feeling. Grand Valley State University is also only about an hour and a half away from my house, so I can go home if I want to.

The best thing about GVSU is the environment. I would describe it as a comfortable, inviting and warm little community in which everyone tends to look on the bright side. It is a place that will make you feel at home as soon as you get there, and should you leave; you will just want to go back.

My professors are alwaya available to help. They are there for ideas, discussion, or whatever I need to speak wit them about. My experience with ninety-five percent of the faculty has been great. They are friendly and outgoing.
