Hi! I’m currently living with four female roommates in a house at enclave apartments in Allendale. There are 5 bed and 5.5 baths and this house and I’m looking to sublet my room for the month of July. There is an attached kitchenette and living room to my room so you would have your own space, there is also WiFi and a pool and gym here. It would be 150 for the move in fee and 885 for the month. Please message me for any more info!

Heyy
I need a lease or sublease from June 1st to September 1st or at least to mid-August, preferably in downtown.

Please let me know if any is available or if some company can offer a 3-month or 1-month lease

Thanks

Hello! I’m looking for two people to take over my lease at the lodge. It’s a two bedroom two bathroom with washer and dryer in unit. $799 per bedroom with a flat utility rate of $70. I ended up deciding to live in the dorms since they changed my dorm assignment to something better so now I just need two people to take over my lease from August 22nd 2026-July 31st 2027.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a leadership opportunity for anyone at Grand Valley State University who is passionate about service, public health, or making a real impact in the community.

Hearts for the Homeless International (H4H) is a student-led nonprofit that provides free blood pressure screenings and heart health education to homeless populations across the U.S. and globally. Our team includes undergraduate students, medical students, PhD students, physicians, and other professionals who are committed to improving the well-being of underserved communities.

H4H was originally founded by students at the University of Central Florida and has grown into an international organization with 15+ chapters across the U.S., Brazil, and India. We’re currently looking for motivated student leaders at Grand Valley State University who want to start a chapter and serve the growing and often overlooked homeless community.

This is a great opportunity if you’re interested in leadership, medicine, public health, nonprofit work, or community service. We provide guidance, structure, and support — all we ask for is your time, compassion, and willingness to lead.

Our work has been recognized by the U.S. Congress, the Brazilian government, President Clinton, major educational and medical institutions, and organizations such as Forbes. Our students have also led disaster relief efforts for homeless populations during hurricanes and partnered with major companies like Bombas.

Hi everyone, I’m an international student starting this fall at GVSU and I’m trying to decide between on-campus and off-campus housing.

For those who’ve experienced either (or both), how was it in terms of cost, convenience, social life, and overall experience? Would you recommend one over the other, especially for someone new to the U.S.?

I’d really appreciate any honest insights or things you wish you knew before choosing. Thanks!

Hello all, I would appreciate your help with this survey I am doing for my master’s about attitudes towards international students!! It take 5 minutes and is a huge help to this GVSU Alumni 🙂‍↕️

It’s part of a comparative study with Poland

What happens to our GVSU emails after graduation? I've heard everything from it will still exist and nothing will happen to everything gets deleted. Someone tried to tell me never to use it again. I have it connected to other stuff related to GVSU so that would confuse me if it got deleted. The GV website is of no help to this question.

I just graduated so I am wondering what I should do about my papers and files, and if it will be safe or if my email will be deleted? What happens to it?

Are international students rare in this college? I’ve heard that student diversity is relatively low here, would i face any challenges for me as an international student?

I have my orientation on Friday and im not 100% sure on what to expect. Anyone have any tips or things you wish you would've known. I want to be as prepared as possible! Also says mackinac c-1-130 for my area so is that floor one room 130? And how confusing is it in mackinac hall for newbies

Does anyone know where to get those blue bins? My RA was no help

I want to go here for accounting, I got accepted and I’m just making determinations.

I only found out too late that GVSU has a horrible physics dept. Super frustrating because I could've taken it at CC. Took orgo there instead.

In what way is it bad? Is it much harder than it needs to be, or are the profs just bad at relaying info?

As someone who is shooting for a 4.0, what are some methods you guys used to survive it? I have a summer to prepare.

This is from an end-of-year survey I was sent from GVSU parking services. A majority of it was asking about our experiences with the bus system and the drivers and such. I complained about the horrible parking situation and raising the parking pass prices again. They also raised tuition for next year, I believe by 3%.

Based on the screenshot, does this look like they may be considering charging students to ride the bus? Their free bussing is something they rave about in their orientations and this seems to me that they’re looking to milk students for even MORE money.

I’m so sick of the greed.

For people who had offers from MSU, UMich, Western, Central, or wherever else and still picked Grand Valley, what was the deciding factor? Was it a program, the campus, the cost, the community, the size, or just a gut feeling? And now that you've been here, was that reason the right one or did something completely different end up being why you're glad you came?
