Freshman: I am a freshman at Grand Valley University. My experience from when I went up there for my orientation was amazing! I loved everything about the environment, I felt so safe and cared for and all the Grand Valley people helped me so much with my classes, tours, information, etc. I got to see lots of different dorm rooms, buildings, classrooms, activity centers, etc. They made me feel very welcomed and comfortable as well as answered any questions that I had about the university. I definitely recommend this school to any upcoming freshman people.... Read 4,003 reviews

Sophomore: Hope College is a fantastic place to go to college. Ever since I've started studying at Hope, I appreciate their openness to diversity of belief. As a Christian, I appreciate that I've been given the opportunity to make my faith my own. The community is amazing. Each Sunday, the Gathering is a place where people come and worship in Dimnent Chapel. Hope is very accommodating to my needs and offer courses that fit my academic abilities. This is one of the things that helped me make my college decision. I would say that the student body is about 75% white, a majority is a mix of Christians and Catholics, so if you're not white or Christian, it might be a little difficult fitting in. Overall, Hope is a great school- they're accommodating, have a great community, decent housing and dining hall food, have lots of extracurriculars to help students get involved, and a beautiful, easy-to-navigate campus! I love it here!... Read 1,068 reviews
