Review of Saginaw Valley State University

from Byron, MI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Saginaw Valley is a beautiful, small campus that has everything to offer that a large university does without the large crowds. Class sizes are small and professors take the time to get to know their students making you more than just a number. There is something for everyone on campus and it once you are there it is the greatest home away from home.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Do not skip a class unless you are really sick and always let the professor know you wont be there so that they can get you the notes. Make atleast one friend in every class so that if you do miss you can get notes and so you have a study buddy, Go to office hours and ask for extra credit professors do understand that you have other classes.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Class sizes are small and if you talk to professors and pay attention are not to difficult. Some are and if you are struggling just go talk to the professor or utilize the free tutoring.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

SVSU Has the best dorms in the state. Every room comes with atleast a stovetop with the living centers having an oven as well. Kitchen is great and bathrooms are nice. You get to know your roommates and the people on your floors, great experience.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Food is good and other places to eat on campus other than the cafeteria.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The gym is open 10-10 so you can go and play sports with your friends. There are also clubs and organizations on campus that you can join to meet new people. Off campus there is the mall and other stores to shop at.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The battle of the Valleys game is a tradition between SV and GV and happens each fall.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Never have I felt unsafe on campus. SVSU has their own campus police that are not just mall cops they are an actual police station working for the state of michigan. There are boxes on campus to hit in case of emergencies and at any time you can call the police and get an escort back to your dorm or car.
