Any current SLP students in GVSU's (Grand Valley State University) masters program?

Hi! 

If anyone who has attended GVSU's SLP Track 1 masters program could give some insight into what the program is like, I would really appreciate it. I've seen a lot of negative things being posted about students having negative experiences here and it was a school that I was really excited about since it is an accelerated program. Any input is appreciated! :)

I am not a current grad student, but I have heard good things about the program.

I have an interview with them. What have you heard?

Have you interviewed with them yet?

I know the negative comments you are referring to.  This program is intensive due to its accelerated model.  Then add COVID on top of that and these first two semesters have been rough.  We have a group of girls who do nothing but complain and brag about making those posts here.  They want our professors to hold our hands through this process and thats not graduate school.  Additionally, we had a professor lose both her parents in one semester and therefore fell behind on grading and they tried to get her fired! 

The point is, the few who are upset about this program is simply yelling louder than the many who find this program great.  You'll fall in love with the city of Grand Rapids and the faculty.  Try to keep an open mind.
