Social Work Director lied and got mad I went above her head as she was clueless about what classes…read moreI needed as I was a returning older student. She told me I had 23 credits left and gave me a schedule of remaining classes that I had begun taking. After spending thousands of dollars and getting an 4.0 in the classes I was told to take. The director at the time said she was confused if I needed to retake classes. I went over her head and found out I did not. She got very embarrassed and mad and said I would have to retake every class and instead of 23 credits it would take 3 years to graduate.

DON'T APPLY IF YOU'RE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT! The faculty,…read moreprofessors and the local students here are extremely prejudiced, conservative and discriminating. Some professors are very under qualified, and has no idea what they are teaching. Overall vibe here is very depressing and dull, noting to do around Mount Pleasant, bunch of weed shops, cultist churches and unwelcoming townies, which makes you never want to leave your room. Extremely isolating environment. The faculty and students treat international students very horribly, and management does not take such concerns seriously.

Faculty assemble here from exquisite universities and doctoral programs! I chose classes based on their reputation or specify, rather than what was required, as a non-traditional student.

While they claim to have the "best" dorms in the US, the staff is very rude and they will damage…read morecharge you for stuff that was already there. The RA's and campus police don't do much to enforce the rules either. They also charge a lot of money and can't guarantee you a housing spot and won't refund the deposit if they don't give you housing because they over accept freshmen or others who live five minuets away who are living on campus instead of the people who live hours away. The laundry rooms have problems with the machines not working, not getting fixed, or people not being responsible and getting their laundry in a set time. This school only cares for their big four (Sports, teaching, nursing, business) as they don't care for their arts as much. Many departments are needing new professors and they aren't hiring them, instead they are adding/upgrading the signs around campus to bold signs that don't look all that good. The dining hall has really gross food and they taste like chemicals as well. The student workers at all dining locations seem to not g.a.s. The students tend to not g.a.s. about other students and during the week leading up to and the week of finals they still have tours and events that disrupt people in classes or studying. SVSU only cares about your money and not the student. The professors that I've had all care and try their best despite not getting paid the money they should.

Do you know what a Scot is???? I do now…read more A Scot is the schools mascot. A burly scottish man on steroids wearing a kilt. Kinda cute. My daughter is one now. She was accepted into their dance program and recieved a scholarship for dance and merit. I went here with my daughter on Scot Day. That's when kids and parents attend an all day meet the school and faculty and see where your child is going to go(and your money). This turned out to be a great day. I was impressed with the facility. They have a great combination of new and old facilities. We met the new President of the College and many of faculty. The sun was shining, the food was good(they fed us), and the everything went well. My daughter made an observation, "everybody here seems so friendly". Here are a few other things to note about the college.... Alma College boasts a 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio, a liberal arts approach to undergraduate education, over 40 majors, minors and pre-professional programs, the chance to self-design programs of emphasis and an intensive Spring Term that provides opportunities for innovative courses, travel classes, research and internships. Since 2003, 20 Alma College students have won prestigious national fellowships, scholarships and awards, including 10 Fulbright fellowships and multiple Udall, Truman and Gates-Cambridge scholarships. Alma's Nationally Competitive Scholarship Committee identifies and nurtures exceptional candidates for nationally competitive scholarships, grants and awards. Alma College students are annual high achievers in the national Model United Nations competition. Alma has received Outstanding Delegation awards in each of the last 12 years at the world's largest and most prestigious collegiate Model UN Conference in New York City. In regional competition, Alma has earned 31 Outstanding Delegation awards over the last 15 years. This should be a great fours years....Look for me next time wearing my Alma hat.....

Some have referred to Alma as Harvard on the Pine, because of the scholastic rigor and location on…read morethe Pine river. I am an Alumni, and have very fond memories of Alma. Several of my family members have subsequently attended Alma. Alma has certainly prepared me for my further academic pursuits. However, I must still rate it 3 stars, and here is why... The education is strong, but primarily because the students are driven and well picked by admissions. I believe that the students of Alma College would have succeeded and shone brightly anywhere they studied. Unfortunately, the price of Alma is hindering to many of the Graduates given the current economic climate. They put more effort into asking for Alumni donations after you graduate then helping you connect and move up. Some of the professors are remarkable! Some just aren't. There are professors with agendas, as there are everywhere. However, I feel it is obvious at Alma. I would not recommend Alma for the professors in general. When I was a student the interim president made it very clear that student safety was not an agenda! Student congress squanders money, and is cliquey if not down right rigged. The food is great! However, if you look at the price per meal you might wonder if it is worth the price. The campus is beautiful, and the arts are decent. I will stop there. I loved Alma, and I miss it dearly. However, if you are looking to stand out from the crowd then do the work, bleed, sweat, and apply to one of the top 20 colleges in America. If you don't get in then I recommend you take a year to work and travel after high school. When you return find a solid Community or City college with a transfer option to a good state school. Then plan to get your Masters right after. If you are really committed to your field then earn your Ph.D. and go teach at Alma!
