Grand Valley State University
“Fabulous Universtiy- Glad that Im here.Quite BrightEducation
Fabulous Universtiy- Glad that Im here. Very Nice Campus, Conservative Area, Allendale is pretty rural but, there is tons to do in Grand Rapids. New President- great about communicating with students. School of Ed is tricky- professors are great, but administration- not so helpful. Lots of hoops to jump through, this certainly is helping the teacher shortage.

“Having graduated 2 years ago, I can lookQuite BrightComputer Science
Having graduated 2 years ago, I can look back and say that Grand Valley was the smartest decision I ever made. I work with people who went to other schools (Calvin, Mich Tech, Michigan, MSU, etc) and I can definately say that and education at GVSU is on par with these schools. Plus, its cheaper, a nicer campus, and has very responsive faculty. School is what you make of it....get involved in groups on campus, study, and it will be the time of your life!

“Grand Valley is one of America's fastest growingAverageEconomics
Grand Valley is one of America's fastest growing and college both in size and reputation. Anyone intersested attending an affordable school with a great reputation should at least consider GVSU. Allendale is in the middle of nowhere, but over your four years one will probably spend time in Allendale and Grand Rapids which is a pretty cool town.
