Saginaw Valley State University Top Questions

Saginaw Valley State University was very informative of the different programs available to me as a future student. Though, before I attended college I wish I would have taken a better look at what I was interested in, instead of what my family and friends expected of me. If I would have started college with a better idea of who I am as a person, I believe I would have found my major. Once I figured out what I really wanted I built up confidence and became more successful in my schooling.

I wish I had known that classes were not offered every semester and that could affect when a person can graduate.

Not a whole lot. I haven't been disappointed with much at this school. It's been great to me and so has my athletic experience here. The only thing I can think of is more possible scholarships to apply for because with the economy being rough right now, money is always an issue.

Before I came to the school, I wish I knew that even when it seems like the school isn't distracting it is. That any little thing can distract you simply because your away from home.

I think I had the right amount of knowledge about the school before attending. I wasn't really surprised or disappointed about anything. Maybe just more about study abroad programs.

I wish i had known about their greek life more.

What i wish i would have know that the advisors are there for you one hundred percent and the teachers are very nice and welcoming, the students are from a very wide variety and nice as well.

I wish I had known all the information available for financial aid, including scholarships and grants. I tried to "go it alone" far too much. The counsellors are very helpful and the online site provides alot of scholarship information and links to apply.

I wish I had more knowledge of biology. I felt that I wasn't taught about the different aspects of the human body as much as the rest of my peers.

I wish I knew how to manage my time more efficently. I have learned that in order to be successful in college, one must have excellent time management skills. I also wish I knew how to take notes more efficently. This is beacuse professors sometimes ramble on through lectures and I sometimes missed important information. Lucky for me, my school offerd workshops that help students better develop these skills and I have benefited greatly from them.
