It was the first college I applied too, also felt that I enjoyed the culture of the college. I found my time at SVSU to be memorable and I do miss being around the people.
Exams
I never took any post-high school-related tests. But I did take the ACT twice to improve scores so that I could be able to get into college. I was happy that I did so that I could go to SVSU. My first score did not come out the way I wanted it to be at first. But my second testing score allows me to get the score I wanted and needed.
Placement
The on-campus jobs were great and allowed for you to be able to be part of the university culture. I worked on campus for three years and loved every moment from the coworkers to the friends you make on the job and off.
Internship
Depending on your college program you could be fortunate enough to land an internship that paid. But most of the time you spent your semester working for free to fulfill the internship portion of your degree. For on-campus jobs, you could get on and it was great I enjoyed mine. It helped me make a lot of good connections.
Fees
Grants and scholarships were available to students of all financial backgrounds. I was able to get a couple each year that I attended college. Once moving off-campus was possible I saved money making college a little cheaper for me. In the long run. I think that college could have been cheaper had I applied for more grants and scholarships sooner and more regularly.
Faculty
The faulty was a mixed bag. What I mean is that the math department was always on academic probation, a little more than a fraction of the university's students. But the other department was great. The history department was my favorite. My opinion is a little bias because I have a historical background.
Hostel
My first two years were on-campus housing. My first year I lived in an eight-person dorm and enjoyed it. I also liked all my roommates. But, in my second year, I did not like my housing placement. This was due to having three roommates who partied too much. So my now wife and I cohabited in my on-campus dorm.
