SVSU offers state-of-the art facilities
Choices and Decisions … Then At some point in your past, you made a decision to delay going to a university, or perhaps you attended a university but didn’t see yourself graduating from that institution. Conceivably, you were unsure of your career path and college major. Maybe you wanted to stay home and save some money. Or possibly you had too many other obligations that would at least temporarily keep you from dedicating yourself to getting your four-year degree. Whatever the reason(s), your plans led you elsewhere and now you are at the point of looking to transfer to a four-year school.
Choices and Decisions … Now Why SVSU? Isn’t that the real question? You have already decided to transfer, so you do not need information or convincing on the importance of getting a bachelor’s degree or more. Your questions are about fit, affordability, opportunity, value of your degree, quality of education, and the overall experience.

Some types of financial aid opportunities are based on the ability of the recipient to pay for his/her education; a student may qualify for need-based aid if need is determined by the information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
