As an international student at Saginaw Valley State University living off campus means a lot from finding an apartment to checking the bus route to college. There are many apartments especially in the Saginaw North Township. Moreover, it has various supermarkets and shops to provide daily needs. The only thing I would like to be improved is the Bus system. I personally feel that there should be more buses available and the bus time should be increased. Rest all is good about Saginaw.
I have lived in Saginaw for two years and it's okay, but I would much rather live elsewhere. Depending on where you're at, some areas are better than others safety wise. But I've always had a good experience with the Saginaw police. It could be safer, but there is only so much they can do. There are a lot of public schools, but I can't comment on how nice they are because I didn't go to school here. It seems fairly family friendly. I always seem to be hearing about an event happening nearby. The real estate around here is awesome, however, most houses need some kind of TLC. Not a big deal though when you're getting a great deal on a house! There are quite a few job opportunities for some people - not for everyone. Commuting isn't bad in the area, I can normally get anywhere I need to without traffic.
I've lived in Saginaw my entire life and I've been able to reap so many opportunities as a youth in this area! Saginaw is one of those cities that was disinvested during the time of motor companies like GM moving out of the area so there's not a whole lot of business opportunity here. However, I have been able to see amazing philanthropy work done by the Saginaw Community Foundation as well as other nonprofits in the area!
