My favorite memory from Grand Valley would have to be the shows I did with my improv team Subject to Change. I can not express how amazing it was to find a group of like minded, hilarious, and amazing friends!

I have quite a few good memories at Grand Valley. My absolute favorite memory was studying abroad in Schwäbisch Gmünd in 2009 and 2010. I also loved being a Resident Assistant allowing me to meet lots of wonderful and interesting people.
Joshua Lee '13
One of my favorite memories was meeting and interacting with the residents on my floor. I enjoyed getting to know them and helping them as they started their journey at Grand Valley.
