Amber

It's not the most intensive school (it really depends on your class/prof) but you need to be willing to put in a lot of work, and you need to be able to deal with stress. People are pretty friendly here though, so it's good if you're at least somewhat social--you need to be able to find the balance between your social life and work.

Amber

Someone who is willing to work hard. Some of the classes are very challenging, so it takes someone with a strong work ethic.

Michigan State is a very sports driven university and is known as a "party school". That being said this would be a great fit for someone who loves sports and who has self-control; I've seen and heard of a lot of students who get too caught up in partying and their grades take a hit for it.

Thalia

Michigan State University is a great school for those students ready for a challenge in their class work. Students dedicated to their studies and ready to be involved in a great campus life should consider this school for their higher education.

Without motivation, it is be hard to keep up with the rest of the people in class and your grades will suffer.

LeMarcus

i very open minded person should attend Michigan State because you find many people are different from you

Aarti

Michigan State University is a large scaled institution, therefore a person who is both book and street smart would be a good type of person to attend this university. The person must be determined, focused, and organized as it is easy to get side tracked in all the extra curricular activities the institution has to offer. Michigan State provides excellent education, so it's beneficial to be diligent with great time management . Lastly, the student should be an open minded person because Michigan State University is a very diverse university, and offers a great mix of all cultures and ethnicities.

The kind of person that should attend MSU is a person ready to embrace different cultures and get involved in all the activites MSU has to offer.

Jasmin

A focused and dedicated person. Michigan State University, as well as a number of other schools, is not a place to come and expect to get pressured to be responsible. A person has to be dedicated to doing well and focused on their long-term goals in order to be successful.

Jon

The type of person that should attend this school is one who is goal-orientated but still wants to have fun. The school itself offers a top rate education, with all the resources necessary to succeed, but its up to the student whether or not they take advantage of it. It is extremely easy to allow oneself to become detached due to the large campus population, and there are more than enough social distractions to bring someone down if they don't keep they're eye on the prize.

Gregory

Any type of person should attend MSU. Any person with a passion for learning, with a passion for having fun, a passion for meeting new people and discovering their true personality. There are so many ways to do this be it through jumping and yelling in the IZZONE (basketball student section) or knocking on the door across from you're dorm. You may just meet you're new best friend. Go Green!

Elizabeth

Someone interested in a bigger university. Its a decent size campus and most freshmen work is done in lecture hall. One big perk is being able to support a Big Ten school for collegiate sports

Erika

A student that is driven and motivated to at least seek out the resources on the campus that will help them to further their education and ultimately be successful.

Jessica

Anyone who has a desire to learn and be succesful in life should attend MSU. Classes are challenging, so the person should be willing to work hard and devote themselves to their courses. That being said, there are also plenty of opportunities for relaxation and fun.

Margaret

Michigan State is great for the person who wants a true college experience. From class to athletics, Spartans are serious about everything they do and with the huge number of students, there is definitely room for everyone on campus. Michigan State has a variety of strong academic programs from their advertising school to their business school, and there are so many majors that there is plenty of time for an undecided student to find their true passion. Outside of class, there are tons of activities available for students, so MSU is definitely a great place for anyone.

Edward

Someone who can manage his/her time well. There is no one looking over your shoulder to make sure you are doing your work. You have to be very independent. Also you should be prepared to meet and live and work with people from all over the world. It is a very diverse student population. The campus is contained within a large area and there is a lot of walking to get from building to building. Someone who is attached to his/her car will not enjoy having to leave it far behind!

Alayna

There are many kinds of students that attend MSU. The kind of student that should attend MSU should be outgoing, friendly, hardworking and able to work well in a large environment. The campus atmosphere is friendly and school-spirited. Therefore, someone friendly would enjoy it here. It is necessary to be hardworking at MSU to keep grades up and succeed. However, the campus is fairly large, making some classes with 600 students or more. In this case, a student who won?t be afraid to get to know other students and ask the professor questions will do great at MSU!

Mary

I believe a person that attends this school should be very academically focused however is also aware of how to interact with others socially. The school work here can be very demanding but the social life and activities offered have made it into such a rewarding time. There are activities offered to a wide diversity of students and relating to all cultures. Someone that attends this school should be open to meeting new people and also have a passion for learning. There are people from all over the world attending this school, making it a wonderful learning experience.

Samantha

The people that would most benefit from this school are those who want to experience a great atmosphere. This is a very beautiful place and all types of people make it what it is. Any type pf person could find a place for themselves at this school. It provides almost any type of opportunity. People who attend this school should know that it is a challenge but that this place is worth it.

Camerin

MSU is a good school for people who are outgoing and like meeting new people. MSU's size guarantees a very diverse student population, and that is definitely the case. School spirit is very strong, and for those who enjoy being part of a huge crowd (student rallies, Big Ten football and basketball games, etc.) this school is perfect. This is a good school for someone who is competitive and prefers activity to relaxation. Students hoping to enter business or fields such as this also benefit from the large alumni network.

Brandon

People who should attend this school are those who are looking for a challenge academically. Michigan State really tries to ensure that their students graduate here with a well rounded knowledge base, so expect to take classes which range from a wide variety of topics. Also, this school is not for students who are lazy. While some students may be able to get by some subjects with minimal effort, there seems to be an overwhelming consensus that just about every student here has been challenged greatly in multiple courses.

Ashley

I believe that a person who is able to balance school work and social life would be a good person to go to Michigan State University because both are important to many students. Being able to balance these two things and maybe even a job outside of these is very helpful for resume building and extra cash which is helpful to many students like myself who have to pay for their own rent and housing.

Erica

Anyone should attend MSU. Especially students who want to get involved, who aren?t afraid to take a little bit of initiative and look for opportunities or try new things. Great for curious students who like to wander, explore, and discover. It?s also perfectly fine for more shy students ? you can find your comfortable niche and stick to it. Only a large campus like MSU allows such options. Any student interested in the Zoology, Veterinary Medicine/Technology, Business, or Education majors should seriosuly consider attending MSU. Overall, MSU is one of the best universities for any major.

Karyn

A social person, who wants to get involved on campus.

Pat

Pretty much anytime of person is welcome at the school. The only issue is whether or not they would be comfortable at such a large campus with so many people.

Elizabeth

Any type of person can and should attend Michigan State. I don't there is one person who has ever come to MSU and not been able to find a friend. No matter how much of an outsider one might think they are, there is someone at State who can relate. People looking to have the "typical" college experience of partying and being crazy can do that at Michigan State, but can still be successful too. People looking for a serious and top-notch education will get that at Michigan State too. It is a school of any and everyone.

Sandra

Spartans are fun-loving, smart, sociable people. We love to get together with our friends, or make new ones. We support our teams and our fellow students. We care about the environment. We have definitive goals about what we want to do to help the world after college, but we live life to the fullest while we're in school. We give everything our all - whether it be in the academic arena or the social one. We are loyal and dedicated to our school and our friends. We are not scared of hard work.

David

A person that is very social and dedicated to work should attend this school.

Caitlin

The kind that wants to succeed!

Jennifer

Honors students are given numerous opportunities that other students are not. I got to substitute interesting classes for my basic requirements. I got to be a big fish in a big pond, so my freshman year I got to do biochemisty labwork to further AIDS research - I synthesized a peptide derived from European bee venom that is similar in structure to the fusion peptide, which is how the AIDS virus infects healthy cells. Honors students should definitely attend this school.

Zachary

People looking for lots of opportunities but are willing to put some effort into finding their niche. It's big campus, but you can make if small with a little effort. Also, anyone who likes stunningly beautiful campuses.

Miranda

Some who loves a social, supportive academic and social atmosphere. There is something here for everyone to enjoy.
