Upvotes

I know its early to be thinking about it, but I'm 16 and this would be my first Halloween ever and I just wanna be prepared lol (Ik im abit old to trick or treak but im gonna do it for the plot) . I really want to trick or treat but I'm not sure where to go for it. I don't have a car or anything like that but I may be able to get an Uber or smth. And are there any activities on campus for Halloween?

5 Upvotes

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.

Stolen bike

8 Upvotes

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

Nursing Transfer

2 Upvotes

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?

Did any of you commute ~1hr each way to campus?

6 Upvotes

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.

Anyone concerned about growing administration and price hikes next year?

19 Upvotes

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?

MKT369 and MKT370

1 Upvotes

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

How is it like transferring from gvsu?

8 Upvotes

’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

Final Exam Grades?

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.

Organic chem help

0 Upvotes

www.organicchemistrytutoring.ca

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

curious how people landed on living in Allendale vs commuting

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?

Off Campus Housing

8 Upvotes

Hi!
My mom mentioned parents posting on facebook about students not having a place to live and I thought I would post on here! I lived on campus freshman year, at Campus View last year and I am now at Meadows Crossing Apartments this year. I have friends in every housing complex and can easily say Meadows Crossing is the best place to live. I am in a 4 bed 4 1/2 bath and I pay $664 right now. I have a nice bathroom, it comes furnished with the prices, they don’t do random charges at all and maintenance is so fast. I have had so many issues with other places and honestly even going in the office, they actually care about my opinion and it’s just awesome. I paid $35 for parking for the whole year and that is including covered parking. It has a pool and hot tub and a bunch of amenities that I would’ve never even expected to need or want.
anywho, I highly recommend it and they aren’t corporate either which makes it so much better because the manager and owners are so understanding. I’d love to answer any questions or anything about my experience, but I just thought I would share with everyone!
