Saginaw Valley State University is a great University to attend while obtaining a degree or certificate. The professors that I have had are all very qualified to teach ,and they have been extremely helpful as I continue my studies.
The diversity of the school is pretty good, the majority of the students are European American then it seems to be African American. Other ethnic groups are minorities as well , but there is a huge International community at Saginaw Valley State University. If you are looking to major in International Studies or Business then this would be a great school to attend. There are many International people and resources to help jump start your career. Saginaw Valley State University even offers Japanese as a minor.
Also, the food on campus is amazing! You may put on weight because the food is that delicious.
The campus is located in a safe area,and also has on campus police who will make sure you feel safe while attending Saginaw Valley State University.

When Saginaw Valley State University comes to mind you can't help but think of what an incredible institution it is. SVSU is a small university in Michigan that has about 10,000 students enrolled. Less students means more 1-on-1 time with professors and more engaged learning. Walks to class will take less than 15 minutes which is a huge asset during the winter months. The on campus housing at SVSU is incredible along with great dining services to compliment on-campus life. Unlimited educational resources to help get the most out of students is provided as well. Saginaw Valley State University has got to be the school you choose!
Beautiful campus and most professors are great to work with! Would like to see all professors be proficient in English even if they are from other countries. Also, having the registrars office more conveniently located and accessible would be wonderful. I’ve been attending SVSU for 4 years now and still don’t know where this office is.
