High School Senior

Hi! I'm a high school senior interested in studying nursing and as this is one of my options, I was interested in how the nursing program is, as well as GVSU as a whole compared to other universities in michigan. I love the school, but I heard it wasn’t very diverse and it was a bit of racism there.

GVSU Library assignment, we need your 4 min help!

Hey, we are in a marketing research class and trying to figure out what could make students use the Steelcase library more. If you could take it to see what we could improve, please do! It is fairly short. Especially if you havent been there before it would help

CS Internships

I am a CS grad student at GV. Was wondering if I could get any direction on software engineering internships from here. Particularly, which are the tech companies that previously took in GV students?

HELP (Again)

Does this mean I have to apply for housing each semester? Or after each term? Also, if it's per semester, does that mean I will have to pay $13,450 for the single and $11,550 for the double or does the rate shown cover both semesters?

Would GVSU offer housing in the spring semester on campus?

I'm considering going to MSU, but the thing is is that at MSU, I don't have the option to live on-campus for the spring semester (and the chances of me finding housing period are slim!). I'm just wondering if GSVU would probably have singles open (I have an accommodation where I can't have a roommate, suitemates are fine) in the spring.

Feeling A Bit More Hopeful

https://preview.redd.it/ve1s1uhx0qxd1.png?width=3360&format=png&auto=webp&s=951bb27ccff507593b87c8bc8ed0320dc8196028

After getting an estimate on what I would be eligible for on the FAFSA site itself and seeing that for a full term it would cost me 14,796, I am a bit more hopeful that I will will not have to pay anything out of pocket, especially since my SAI is so low that it means I would get the maximum amount of aid. Also, I graduated gop five percent in my class, but that probably doesn't mean much since my class was pretty small.

A Bit Worried

https://preview.redd.it/dvh8y9qgxlxd1.jpg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca1bac3965dc04cbd3259f9d27f637c273c86f8e

I am currently attending GRCC (I am only attending for 2 semesters) and want to go to GVSU after the winter semester, so I used the Net Price Calculator and I am a bit anxious about the price it gave me. As someone who aged out of the foster care system, I don't have parents to help me pay for the remaining Net cost. Does this calculator take into account that I would be a transfer student? Is the calculator accurate? I noticed it doesn't take into account things like Sub and unsub loans. I have provided a screenshot for reference. Also, I am wanting to become a lawyer and I have to attend a 4 year to get into law school, I also don't have the credit score or anyone to help me sign for a private loan.

Question

I’m a grad student that’s starting at GVSU in fall 2025. I have to move out of my apartment the first week of August near CMU, will GVSU let me move into my fall housing early? I’m from out of state so going home is not an option, plus I have too much stuff to take

Organic chemistry tutoring

www.organicchemistrytutoring.ca

Overwhelmed by 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 organic chemistry may be, I’m here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with me?

  • Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. I do.
  • I tutor organic chemistry full time, it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with me, you’ll be working only with me, not random people at an agency.
  • You’ll be learning problem solving through organic 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, my teaching style, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

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

Mike

Who’s the best to contact for class changes?

Hi, I was wondering where the best place is to talk about changing my classes for the next semester. I have changed a class before this semester started through Seidman, but the experience wasn’t good, so I’m hoping there are more options. I also wanted to do this in-person too.

Podcast Project

Hello,

I am doing a podcast for my JBM 384 class. The podcast is titled "Mystic Explorer". The podcast will cover topics such as spirituality/witchcraft/the occult and try to tie a given topic in with current events.

I am making this post because I am looking for people who can help me create this podcast. The benefit for them would be the opportunity to create something for their portfolio that they could potentially show off to future employers.

I need someone who can create good thumbnails and a good banner for the YouTube channel the podcast will be posted on. I will also need people who are audio experts to give advice and help me use software to clean up audio mishaps that may occur while recording.

I would also invite any students who would be interested in being a guest on the podcast to DM me or reply to the OP if the theme of this show interests you.

Please let me know if you are interested and thank you for reading!

Honors!

I want to be a dentist, which means I have to go to dental school, would the honors college be good for me? Dental schools look at your college GPA so I don’t want to tank my GPA. I’ve taken around 5 AP classes in high school, in which I had an A is 4/5 of them. I’ve taken multiple honors classes in high school as well. I’ve been invited to the signature Saturday which I plan to go to in a few weeks!

Make Sure You Vote! - Share Your Election Predictions to Increase Voter Participation

Hey all,

With the 2024 presidential election approaching, I wanted to share a project that’s aimed at raising awareness and encouraging more people to get out and vote. It’s called Presidential Pick'em, and it allows you to predict the outcome of the election by filling out your own electoral map.

It’s a fun way to get people thinking about the election while also contributing to some crowdsourced data. The goal is to compare predictions to actual results and hopefully spark more engagement in the election process, particularly since Michigan is a critical swing state this election and early voting has already begun.

Each prediction will be scored based on how accurate it was and the results will be displayed on a global leaderboard. You can also create and join pools to challenge friends, roommates, or other groups.

I've created a pool specifically for students and alumni from GVSU to join and compete against each other.

Join the GVSU pool here.

Or create your own pool.

Think you can predict the election perfectly? Make your prediction, and don’t forget to get out and vote — your voice matters!

GVSU CS classes and more

Hello everyone, I just visited the GVSU campus today and throught it was rather good. Im looking to transfer from a CC next fall to pursue a degree in CS. I'm just wondering, is there anything to do near the main campus of GVSU? Are there any CS majors here that can give me some insight as to what the classes are like? How does GVSU compare to other schools such as MSU or WMU etc.
