MSU has a reputation for being a party school for a reason. Last year Cedar Fest made national news for the authorities' usage of tear gas to disperse the crowd. MSU is also known for the riots which occurred a few years ago because of a sporting event.

That all we do is drink and party everyday. Yea, weekends can sometimes get carried away, but it's usually only in fraternities and sororities; not on campus.

I think that a lot of people assume that MSU is a huge party school. Don't get me wrong, I definitely think that MSU students like to party, but that isn't the only thing the school is known for. Kids from other schools think that because we go here, we didn't try in high school or we are stupid but that is completely untrue. As far as I know, MSU has been getting harder and harder to get into over the years because they are trying to make a better reputation besides "party school." MSU is definitely defined by more than just partying and there are a lot of really bright students here to prove it.
