SVSU is a very bad college to attend.AveragePreMed and Medical
SVSU is a very bad college to attend. I attend college to learn medicine. SVSU has allowed themselves to integrate technology for doing assignments, and especially homework. For example: My homework assignments online in canvas through Mc Graw hill in anatomy 253 take me 3 to 4 hours to complete and are due at 11:59 pm. Well there is another grueling and aggravating additional class I didn't sign up for that was dropped in my lap on top of the real and NORMAL 3 hour lecture class. I had a 4.0 GPA in the last college I attended in 2022 in North Carolina. I have to work full-time and I do not have the time to complete these and other technology created workloads above and beyond the normal class I was expecting to take. The kind where you go to class, listen to the lecture and take notes, where you get handouts passed out to you that you can study, and homework assignments in the book. That is real and normal college the way it has worked for hundreds of years. Suddenly you get the bright idea, to change everything, integrate technology, because you don't want to use a printer to make handouts and tech college as it has always been taught. This will be my semester at this college and the world has lost a great medical doctor because of this horse sht. I'm done with SVSU and any other college or university employing thse same educational practices.

I was really excited to come to SVSUAverageCommunications
I was really excited to come to SVSU but now that I'm here, I am transferring out. I've liked my classes and I've liked professors, but I hate the dorm I'm in, and I hate the isolation on the weekends when everyone goes home but me. It's not a fun place to be, even if I got a scholarship. Not worth it. I'd advise against it unless you are just coming to campus for class and not living here.
