Professors are so knowledgeable and always more than willing to help inside and outside of class. Use your professors wisely!! They want to help you succeed in their class and if you get to know them, would love to write a letter of recommendation for you later down the road. The more you go to office hours, the better your education will be and the more likely you are to succeed beyond the classroom.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Being in the Laker Marching Band, Basketball Band, and participating in church services around campus are the ways that I choose to get involved and I have so much fun. There are so many ways to get involved around campus from volunteering and making a difference to just joining an intramural sports team or a club where you can meet with people that share the same interests as you. We even have a Renaissance Fair during the fall! No matter what you are interested, GV probably has it and it is most likely going to be an amazing program/club and definitely experience. And if it isn't, you can put us on the map for whatever interests you!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Definitely! Tuition here is dirt cheap compared to my friends attending private college and even CMU, MSU, and U of M. Being cheaper does not make it an easy college by any means! So many professors are doctors in their field and have masters and other degrees in more than one field. These professors are also here to help you, no class is taught by a graduate assistance unless the professor has a conflict and cannot make class. Getting your money's worth is easy to do at GV!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Remember the reason you are here: To study hard, learn lots, and get good grades. You need to put school and class first. You are paying for it, right? Put your best effort into it so you will have no regrets later. Be smart while you are at college! Drinking and other illegal activities may seem fun, but really is not worth it. You HAVE TO have a social life. In order to relieve stress and not go completely insane, make sure you are spending a good amount of time with your friends! Make memories, push your limits, make new friends, go outside your comfort zone. College is a life-changing experience, make it a great one.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Grand Valley has so many courses and country-wide recognized sports and majors, it is good fit for many students. I am going into athletic training and physical therapy, both of which GV is very well known for. Just check on the website, which is really easy to use, and make sure we have your program. I promise you won't regret going here!
