Although Michigan State University has over 45,000 undergraduates, you can make the school small enough to meet your needs. You can join clubs, societies, or choose a residential college with separate living facilities. Michigan State University continually morphs to become the best school for each student that attends.

Brittany

Were a Big Ten school. We have a lot of activities, resources, and groups on and off campus. Theres also a connection between teachers, advisors, and students. Sort of like a friendship.

Holly

Land Grand school

A.

This is a school with a very large campus, and a wide range of studies for undergraduates, graduates, law, med and vet-med students. There are many opportunites for internship, research and networking. The unique thing is, even though the school is massive, it still feels like home. You can't get lost. There are specialty colleges within the university for students concentrating in science, pre-law, and groups that help prepare memebers with their personal education and career goals. Whatever you're looking for, chances are it's waiting for you.

MSU wants their students to be well rounded, so they require all their students to take a few classes on cultures and humanities. Also with State being so large, they offer extra curricular in pretty much anything you could imagine.

There is a real emphasis on picking a career path at this university. It is a place that is focused on what you will do after college as it gives you plenty of opportunities for things to do in college that you can put on your resume.

IT may be big, but yet it is so small. Everyone thinks that it is very big and they will not like it but really I still see people to this day that I had in my classes my freshmen year. There are so many close groups, and so much bonding is offered. The campus is also beautiful. There are many unique things about Michigan State University. You have to see them for yourself.

Hannah

Michigan State University is a nationally known school that is instantly recognizable to employers.

Ehrland

Michigan State feels like its own city, with only students as the population. Our campus is gorgeous and everyone loves to hang out together so there really is never a time here where I feel bored or out of place. Also there is a strong emphasis on being accepting of others and where they come from, this results in diverse groups of friend with the race card never coming into play.

Karan

its the only school i considered

Kristin

It is a very important research and zoology school.

Jessica

Michigan State University is more than just a university; it's a community. The people here love their school and each other. When someone becomes a Spartan it is a lifelong choice (whether they know it then or not). The faculty is friendly, the students are welcoming, and once a student sets foot on campus it's a feeling unlike any other. I have never met more loyal people than I have at Michigan State University.

Mickayla

The enviornment is the most uniquething about Michigan State. It is a mixture of an agricultural country community and a medium sized city., making the transition from a small town very easy. If I ever missed the solitude of the country I was only about a mile away, but if I was in the mood to go out on the weekend, the city was filled with things to do.

Abby

I believe that there are multiple reasons why Michigan State Univercity is unigue. One of the main things that I love about my school is how easy it is for students to make friends. I have visited other schools and looked on other dormitory floors that freshmen live in and the atmosphere is dead. However at MSU on campus living whenever you walk down a hall you will see a ton of students bonding. Wether they are studying or just hanging out everyone always seems to enjoy eachothers company.

Angela

MSU has the only Vet school in michigan. It also has amazing programs that have to do with learning about all parts of the animal industries.

Lindsey

I think I've pretty much covered everything.....I love this University!

Jessie

MSU is a great college all it needs is a little bit of sprucing up and good PR.

Andrew

here are a few suggestions for incoming freshmen: 1) move in as soon as u can, it gives u more time to get out and explore MSU 2) go out to a party during welcome week...something interesting will happen 3) don't act too cool to do certain things 4) order ur books by calling ahead...the bookstore can get ur books and reserve them for u...it will save u a ton of time...trust me 5) go to the gym and workout...it makes u feel better 6) don't try to cram 15 people in your dorm for a "dorm Party", it will result in getting written up 7) get football and basketball tickets 8) watch how u spend ur money...it is gone before u know it. 9)go to the library and study...too many distractions in ur room. 10) making the walk of shame at 7am on a sunday morning sucks 11)go to class 12) u don't have to watch ur laundry in the dorm laundry rooms...no one will take ur shit 13) use the RHA movie offices...its free and they have a lot of good movies. 14) learn the bus system 15) if u have friends that are upperclassmen...don't hesitate to ask them for advice, I was in the same boat as u just two years ago...and i was pretty scared 16) don't go to the barber shop in the union...it sucks 17) if ur friend is too drunk to walk home from a party DO NOT carry him...it will just attract police. 18) meet people on ur floor...it will make ur dorm much more fun 19) the frats have good parties during welcome week and the first couple weeks of school, but after that it sucks, and u'll get made fun of 20) get to know a cab driver on a first name basis...it will make those nights at 3:00am go so much smoother

Erin

I love being a student at Michigan State University, and I have no regrets about making it my college of choice.

Melissa

Some people have a hard time at state because it's so large. Bonding with the people on your floor and being open to meeting new people could potentially make or break or opinion of MSU. It's really important to work hard and get good grades. I've known people who have been on it, and academic probation is not a good thing to be on! But it's also important to have fun, and try not to stress out too much. Luckily, MSU offers many ways to take your mind off endless hours of studying!

Robin

Campus Cops are harsh! They will "murder" you with speeding tickets or an MIP so fast if they catch you. There are not very many warnings, mostly $ 150+ tickets for acting up, so it's important that you be careful and smart doing your illegal thang, or you just not do it at all.

Antonio

Overall, if you want a great education this is a fantastic school; however, if you hate being around childish students, you will not like it here.

Jesse

MSU is the place to be!!

Cristian

here's what pretty much everybody wants to hear about when they're applying to msu the parties well, every thursday, friday, and saturday, you'll probably be able to find one if you look for it.

Stephany

MSU's great! At first, to be honost, I was kind of skeptical with my decision. East Lansing is a very small town, and I had never heard of it before. Coming from a city, I was nervous I wasn't going to adjust and be uncomftorable with the atmosphere. However, the people here at MSU really make you feel welcome and feel like a family. As corny as that may sound, it really takes away from the fact that East Lansing may be "small." You always find something to do, and the people you meet are crucial in making your college experience so great.

Robin

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! You should def. attend and it is awesome. If you aren't sure, trust me and just come and experience it for yourself!

Ashley

Sparty On! MSU is great and I couldn't picture myself anywhere else! I love being a Spartan and going to school at such a great university.

Dave

Ainsley

Carson

Ryan

GO GREEN GO WHITE !

Courtney

Michigan State University is a great school for Education Majors. If you are looking for a school that invites all ethnicities, academic levels, and is a great place to make connections it's a wonderful college to attend. No matter where you end up attending, college is only what you make of it.

Scott

I have nothing left to say except a small disclaimer. I tried to be forthright and unapologetic in writing this. I love MSU and I think it is the best place for me to go to school, but I tried to remain objective and did the best I could to "tell it like it is". I hope that this is used to help someone decide if this is the right place for them to go to school.

Stephanie

MSU is a great school academically and socially. I recommend it to anyone.

Casey

MSU is a great place to go to school. Coming from out of state, I did not know a single person. Within 2 hours of moving in, I already felt like I had make lasting friendships. Everyone is just looking to have a good time, and get a quality education at the same time. You really learn much more than just things out of a textbook here. MSU teaches you how to be an independent adult, and live on your own. Social skills combined with acreddited academics is the key.
