 " Latency is a real problem. Staff and professors expect a lot but don’t have the same standards for themselves. I’ve been disrespected by professors and have had exam grades not be posted for over a month. It can be hard to meet with advisors, often requiring several days to schedule an appointment (they do have drop on advising however). Almost no clubs at the business school. The course content is mostly fair and you will learn what you need to, but it’s a frustrating business college to attend. "

 " Grand Valley is a great university for a wide range of studies. GVSU is mainly focused on academics and has great resources throughout the campus. The school isn't too big and  Allendale is a safe place. "

 " Grand Valley Staff is amazing; I don't have enough good things to say about them. Everything is very new and nice, but if you're looking for the typical college experience (lots of partying every night) GV is not for you. "

 " Honestly, so far I have liked all of my professors, and have no complaints about campus. There are tons of resources available for students, and the quality of everything on campus is very good. There is a panda express that rises above all others I've been to. "
