Saginaw Valley State University

What a beautiful campus! We were there for orientation and everything was top notch; the staff; the grounds; the residential halls; classrooms and labs; athletic areas and the food!

Great beautiful school that my daughter goes to my daughter got a full ride for free first year. Filled with great people great teachers, beautiful campus and great community. I highly recommend.. always driving to expand and make better

I went here for my undergrad several years ago. It was a great value relative to the competition. Realistically, the vast majority of people live locally and are commuting. But if you're like me and lived further away when you went to school here, odds are you won't get a better deal for living on campus. The normal tuition was the cheapest in the state, at least when I started going there. They also have almost-studio-apartment-sized dorms that you can rent out for just yourself, or spacious townhouses to share with one bedroom per person. They're much nicer dorms than most other campuses, especially compared to places like MSU. Now here's the main caveat to this though. As I said earlier, it's very much a regional/commuter school. You won't find much activity at night here. And while there are clubs and extracurriculars, there will be less overall involvement compared to schools where most students are there all the time. While there is some local activity that connects to the school, there is no real college town to walk to from campus. This is especially apparent if you live on campus and don't have a car. For much of my education here, I was carless and was unable to go anywhere outside of what the campus had to offer. Still the campus itself has a convenience store and various restaurants, and that made things much more livable until I owned a car later on in my schooling. Class sizes are small with it being a smaller school, so you can talk to your professors easily and receive personal help and attention as needed. I majored in computer science and my professors were good overall. You get some good ones and some bad ones of course though. That's how it is anywhere. But I'm happy with how my education went. They have a good teaching program here.

I had a good experience here. I was an older adult student. I was maybe 30-31 and finishing up an engineering degree. I found the campus to be very pretty and felt like a nice place to go to school. The facilities for the engineering dept are excellant imo and the staff is professional and courteous and knowledgable. You could go bigger and more prestigious but this place felt like a little comfortable oasis in Saginaw area to me.

Had a wonderful time touring the campus where I may begin making payments toward my child's future education. The guides were great and the campus is big, but small enough to get around quickly without a car.

Exceptional atmosphere. Great diversity in programming for so many professional endeavors. Security on and around campus is evident and everything looks brand new. It’s a great place to call home for a bachelors or masters degree years.

This is the place to go! If you want a place to grow and learn and stand out SVSU is it.

Great campus and a beautiful area in general
