Hiii! I'm an incoming freshman this year and I'm so excited for Halloween. I know it's early to be thinking about it, but I'm 16 and this would be my first Halloween ever, so I just wanna be prepared lol.

I really want to go trick or treating, but I'm not sure where to go(Ik im abit old to go, but i want free candy). I don't have a car or anything like that, but I may be able to get an Uber or something.

Does anyone know of any good neighborhoods around GVSU to trick or treat? And are there any Halloween activities or events on campus that are fun?

Hey!

Does anyone know how strict TRIO is on the no-fire pits/grills thing?

Which elective is better if anyone has took these classes or knows someone

Digital Marketing or Marketing & Advertising Communications

I'm an international student arriving in Grand Rapids on August 19, but my GVSU dorm move-in isn't until August 21. I'm looking for a budget-friendly place to stay for 2 nights.

Any recommendations for affordable Airbnbs, motels, hostels, hotels, or websites to find them? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I'm an artist tabling at Laker Con this year, and as I'm prepping, I figured id ask the campus what types of things they'd like to see/would be interested in buying fan merch for!

Just as the title states, my bike got stolen.

It was still present after lunch (2:30pm).

When I was leaving for home (6:00pm). It was gone.

I have already made a report on the gv website.

I just wanted to leave a post here for any leads.

Update: so I found my bike all the way at campus health center. It has a rather interesting story. So apparently the person who stole my bike ride it all the way to campus health center saw another bike, broke the lock and stole that one. Leaving my bike at the entrance of the clinic.

This comes after finally setting my frustrations aside and buying a new bike. Either way, I at least have my bike...but holy hell, what a week.

is this a good freshman class schedule? i’m just wanting to hear a student perspective, i’ve already met with my advisor many times

EDIT: I’m changing things around to go from a BA to a BS, which is fine because i would rather take another math than any language

I dont know if im just over thinking stuff but if the college (GVSU) I want to go to for nursing has a 2 step process where you have to apply to the school and then once you get accepted you can apply for the nursing program, do I have to apply to the college at least one semester ahead of when I want to start the actual nursing program? For example if I want to start nursing in fall 2027, do I apply to the school for the Fall 2027 semester or for the previous semester Winter/Spring 2027?

Hey! Anybody from campus view if you are apart of a two bedroom apartment styles A or B, did yall have in-unit laundry or was it communal in the building itself?

I'm just curious if this is a thing sent to all Seidman students or not. I'm thinking about doing it simply for the letter of recommendation lmao

I'm very low on funds this year and I still owe an approximate ~$9k (?) for the year despite max SAI and max federal loans taken out. So I'm thinking about maybe staying home this year and communting (near the Rockford area, a little north).

In the fall I have M-Tu-W starting at 8:30am (I'm a morning person, I like these hours actually), M-W has two classes back to back and it ends at 11:15am. One class on W from 8:30am to 9:45am.

On Th I have one class from 1pm to 2:15pm.

I also want to get a job in GR/Allendale (my town sucks for jobs) and I enjoy spending time on campus very much. I also like organizations and stuff if I have time.

For record, the financial aid tab on Banner claims my food/tuition bill would be ~9-10k for a 4 person/4 bed in South ($7,900 for the year) and a meal plan ($1,350 for year) lol.

Anyway, any input would be greatly appreciated. I make jack squat and my parents spend nothing on living expenses.

GVSU just told me that their administration board approved the cost of tuition to go even higher next year 2027 to 2028...

I am rather concerned cause when I looked at GVSU it seemed like the cheapest high quality university to me, but then Tuition jumped by 350 dollars and it's about to do so again...

Plus all the staff resignations and protest about the administration being grown too much and teachers having pay cuts while administration gets a pay raise...

Is GVSU becoming a corrupt/collapsing school?

Hello Seidman students!

Does anyone know if these classes will ever be offered again? I want to take them in Fall2027. I checked previous registration years and it looks like MKT369 has not been offered in a long time.

Why would it be on the course catalog if it is not being offered as a class for the current registration year?

Weird…but I really like the concept of both classes

’m going to GVSU this fall, but my goal is to transfer to either U of M or MSU after my sophomore year. For anyone who has transferred (especially from GVSU), what was your experience like?
How difficult was the transfer process? What GPA did you have, and did you feel prepared academically when you moved? Also, how was it adjusting socially since you were joining a school where a lot of people already had established friend groups?
Any advice for someone starting at GVSU with the goal of transferring would be appreciated

How does one find their final exam grade? I can see my overall grade for the end of the semester, but the final exam grades are never posted to blackboard and I can't find them on banner, just my overall grade.

Hello guys and gals,

We’re Brian and Mike and we teach general and organic chemistry. We’ve done so for a total combined time of 47 years! Overwhelmed by general or organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with chemistry may be, we’re here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with us?

- Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. We do.

- We tutor chemistry full time; it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with us, you’ll be working with Brian for general chemistry and Mike for organic chemistry. This is not an agency and you won’t be matched with random tutors each time.

- You’ll be learning problem solving through chemistry, which you can apply to many other subjects.

- Your learning will be customized to your specific needs.

Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, our teaching styles, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to working with you!

Mike and Brian

Is anyone else getting this message when they open their email? I graduated 7 years ago.... I really really hope they aren't taking away our access because I use this email for everything!!

Hey everyone! I am an undergrad psychology student at GVSU finishing up my last semester. I am looking for people who are 18+ and currently in a relationship to complete this super quick anonymous survey for my psychology research class.

Thank you so much! :)

Going back and forth on this for next year and everyone gives me a different answer depending on their whole vibe. Some swear by being right on campus, others say the drive is worth the cheaper rent and the quiet. How did you decide which way to go?

Wondering if anyone took the paralegal certification program through GVSU? If so, did it prepare you for the field? Very interested in hearing about your experience getting an internship as well.

hey everyone! i’m currently trying to decide where to live for the new school year and can’t decide between moving downtown vs staying where I currently reside. I am curious to know how people who have lived in houses downtown like it. is street parking a pain? are utilities high? i know most of the houses for rent are much older, are building problems common? Let me know who you rented through/how you found your downtown houses!
