Review of Saginaw Valley State University

from Washington, MI

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Universities have high expectations for students and Saginaw Valley State University is not an exception. The classrooms hold a maximum of 25 students and lecture halls hold a maximum of 60 students. With small class sizes, the professors are able to give one on one attention to students. The professors at Saginaw have a passion for what they do and are willing to help you during their office hours. The professors will get to know you by the end of the semester. There is tutoring offered on campus for just about every subject and it is free for students. With this type of attention offered at this university, a student learns a lot in the class. A student grows outside the classroom and learns to become more independent.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Saginaw Valley State University has a lot to offer. This university offers over 250 registered organizations on campus, there is at least 1 program going on every month that students can participate in, sports events are free for students, everyone is friendly on campus and supportive, everything on campus is walking distance, and the housing on campus is one of the best in the state of Michigan.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Saginaw Valley State University is one of the cheapest Universities in the state of Michigan. Tuition covers tutoring, printer balance, fitness facility, the classes that a student is taking, sport events, and other costs. Saginaw offers meal plans to make sure that students do not starve and have multiple food places on campus. Just out of warning, some of the food places on campus are more expensive than Meijer’s and Walmart. Saginaw offers apartment style housing providing a microwave, oven, stove, refrigerator and freezer, bathroom, kitchen table and chairs, couch, T.V stand, beds, desks, closets, and small dressers. Saginaw stretches the dollar bill compare to other Universities.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Students need to look at different universities first before they make a final decision. A medium size university might seem great at first but the idea can change. Tour campuses first before making a final decision on which university a student wants to attend. If a prospective student knows what career they want to get into then search for a college that offers the career. Universities have higher expectations and standards for students to work hard, expect to lose sleep, have to be in control and independent of their schedule, always carry a planner around, and join at least one group on campus but not more than two. Always keep in mind that school comes first and extracurricular activities come second.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Saginaw Valley State University is great for high school students who come from small communities and for students who have disabilities.
