Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I've had good academics all throughout high school, so I didn't know what to expect at a college level. Although I had to put in more effort and cut back precious sleep to get in some extra study time � something I didn't have to do in high school � I managed to take a lot from my classes and apply it to real life. I find myself using what I've learned in most classes in real life on a day to day basis. The presentations and papers can be tough at times, but with resources like the Writing Center, you shouldn't have to worry!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
First going in I figured a college with 10,000 was huge, but it's really not all that bad. It's the perfect amount of people to where you can network with new people anytime you please. There's lots of organizations of every type of imaginable, and I highly recommend getting involved with at least one of them.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The most inexpensive public university in the state of Michigan! Residential facilities are definitely above and beyond what other universities provide for their students. Although, tuition rates are on a constant rise everywhere now-a-days, if anyone could put a price on the college experience, SVSU has the best value.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Use your resources. If you're struggling or worried about struggling, there are lots of FREE resources such as the Writing Center for help with papers, the Center for Academic Achievement for tutoring in subjects, and so much more!
Get involved. It's hard to get the motivation to do it, and can seem pretty scary to do it. But it's a great way to network and develop friendships that will last throughout your college experience. (And it could look good on a resume, too!) Involvement has been my favorite part of the academic experience.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Those looking for a lower-priced college.
Those looking for better housing accommodations.
Those looking to be a person to a professor, not a number.
Those looking for a friendly atmosphere.
Those looking to be a Cardinal.
