Grand Valley State University Top Questions

People who should not attend this school include heavy partiers and people who like big city life. Our main campus is in a very rural area, many students like to hike, bike and exercise. The city is close but we do not have a lot of city life around campus.

If you are looking for a large school with nothing but large lecture halls, a place to get lost and not know anyone, or a really small school, this is not the school for you. While Grand Valley is large, and at times it can be easy to blend in, it is small enough for one to get to know others and meet some great friends.

Grand Valley State University is a school for students who have a good work ethic to accomplish their goals, have an open mind to new ideas, and are friendly to others around them. Professors at GVSU are willing to put in time to help students make sure they get the grades they want, but students at GVSU have to work hard too. Also, GVSU emphasizes a liberal education to make students more aware of what is happening in the world and see different perspectives. Lastly, students at GVSU are friendly and always willing to talk to anyone.

Perhaps people who feel stranded easily. We are far from the main city, but there is an active life on campus, it just takes patience to appreciate it.

I think that anybody can attend GVSU if they wanted to. However, it takes a lot of effort and work to acomplish all that is required of you. If you do not wish to be a liberally educated student and want to just jump right into your profession then GVSU is not for you. I think that anybody who really sets their mind to it can do whatever they choose.

I would say anyone who wants to be a part of a school that has a small atmosphere but has all the advantages of a big school should attend.

There is not a single type of person that shouldn't go to this school. Grand Valley strives to be diverse and offers help to those students who may need extra help to get through the academic studies.
