1. You're used to seeing a person you know everywhere you go.

You could be on campus, at the store, at a restaurant, or even just at a stoplight and you will most likely see someone you know.

2. You know what the Foc is.

Staff on campus like to call it the Marketplace, but all students know that it's really called the Foc.

3. You wear red for every home football game.

Red pride is what it is all about. When there is a home football game everyone gets together to show school spirit.

4. You know your school isn't actually in the city of Saginaw.

When people hear Saginaw Valley State University they think that it is in the city of Saginaw; this is not true. SVSU is in Kochville.

5. You walk from one side of campus to the other in less than 15 minutes.

One really good thing about SVSU is you can walk from one side of campus to the other very quickly. There are no buses and you don't have to drive.

6. You can walk to almost all your classes by going through the buildings.

In the winter months, it is really nice to be able to walk through the buildings. People from other universities tell you, "I hate walking to class in the winter" and you can say "I don't mind walking to class in the winter because I can walk through buildings".

7. People tell you they have a 500 person lecture class and you say, "My biggest lecture class has 30 people and I'm perfectly okay with it."

When you go to SVSU you expect to have a smaller class. If a class has more than 50 people it is a big class.

8. You actually know your professor.

At SVSU it is normal to know your professors on a more personal level. Since the classes are smaller the professor is able to learn the names of everyone and are able to truly get to know each student. There are even some professors that can tell if you're having a bad day.

9. If you've been here for over a year, you might still be upset that vmail is gone.

Vmail was something that SVSU students used for email. They recently switched over to outlook. SVSU students really don't like learning how to use new technology.

10. You know what SVSUcrushes is.

SVSUcrushes is one of the funniest things to look at in your free time. It's a twitter account that mentions all of the crushes that people have on their fellow classmates on campus. It may say how attractive someone is or it can talk about how a person has great calves. Either way, it's pretty funny.
