        Affordable, High Quality, Community Minded EducationGrand Valley State University is an excellent school - My "headline" says it all. I definitely steer any and all potential students I meet in the direction of this university. Our opportunities are what we make of them, and GVSU has much to offer to help you succeed, to "enlarge your capacity" and to equip you to face real world challenges while providing a small community feel. I cannot recommend highly enough! My only regret is that I didn't transfer in sooner in my own undergraduate career. Go Lakers!

        Captivating Culture with Enriching EnvironmentBy far one of my most remember able experiences ever in my life.Despite having the opportunity to earn my degree through the GVSU center in Traverse City, I chose to temporarily relocate and take classes on the main campus in order to take in the wide variety of cultures GVSU had to offer. When needing a break from the books, downtown Grand Rapids was a short shuttle away for experiencing great dining and city night life.
