What kind of person should attend this school?

Joanne

Someone who is ok with a large campus and having very large class sizes.

Katie

A friendly, outgoing person who wants to learn amazing things with some of the highest ranked professors in the nation.

Allyson

A person who is out-going, and loves being around a lot of people. MSU is a big campus with lots of things going on so if you want a more personal small college then MSU is not the right school for you. The games and events are huge and a lot of fun, but if your not an outgoing person this wouldn't be the best choice for you.

Emily

This school is meant for people who always want something to do, whether it is academic or not. There is always someone to do something with if you learn better in a group of people. However, it is big enough that if you want your independence, you have it. MSU is a perfect place for people who aren't necessarily sure who they are or what they want because your options seem endless.

Someone who can handle a larger school, wants a great chance to grow, and is ready for change. This school has a lot of opportunities but you have to go out and find them and pusue them.

I believe there are around 35,000 students per semester here, so you better be prepared to deal with a lot of strangers on campus, as well as the classroom. This school can get a bit rowdy on the weekend especially during football and basketball seasons. If your looking for a good time, and to accomplish something its a good school, because at Michigan State University you will recieve both.

Michigan State University is a school that balances academic success with social interactions. Those planning to attend MSU should have a strong desire to excel in shool while also having fun and making new friends.

A.

If you're looking for a school with a wide range of studies, and opportunities to work in that field while attending classes. At the same time the colleges within MSU, such as Lyman Briggs College or James Madison College, provided that sense of a smaller community with more intimate class settings and more one-on-one time with your professors. Activities ranging from: intermural sports, free concerts, plays, volunteer work, movies, and much more are all available for students to relax. Pretty much anyone can find a niche in a school like this. There's something for everyone.

peter

Any type of person can attend this school, whether your looking for a well-rounded, good education, looking for new friends, or looking for the whole college experience.

Richard

People who enjoy large open campuses and don't mind large lectures. The campus has a lot of great facilities and trails for fitness and exercise so people who love the outdoors and staying it shape would enjoy this campus. I believe that one should have an idea of where they want to go in life while attending this university because it is a great place to learn and has a lot of diverse degree choices but too costly to change ones mind about which major they want to study.

The ideal student should also have tons of SPARTAN SPIRIT!!!

The kind of person who should attend this school is someone who is ready and willing to experience new things and meet people while remaining focused on academics. If someone wants to attend Michigan State University, they should also be involved with campus functions such as fraternities/sororities, clubs, or volunteer opportunities.

elyse

Anyone. We have stoners, jocks, alcoholics, laid back peeps, video gamers, variety of ethnicities, gays, conservatives, republicans, liberals, frats, exercise aholics, climbers, goof offs, writers, emos, smokers... its a big school but there are soooo many little communities that make it up. It allows for so much variety, only problem is it takes time to find your group since you have to sift through so many people to get to your place. Might feel lonely and out of place in the beginning- dont worry, sophmore- junior year you'll find it.

Ryan

A person who is very independent and on there own should attend this school. You need to be very focused and should have an idea of what degree you would like to pursue. Also, someone who is very friendly because there are so many people to meet.

Jake

I would reccomend this school to two kinds of people. For those that like to fit in, drinking and watching football or basketball is very common. This is how the majority of students on campus collctively work together. For those that do not wish to fit in and desire to make positive change in this world there are many options and outlets available but they are mostly in their infancy, which in my opinion is the best place to be.

John

focused, organized, friendly, team player

Quentin

A person who is willing to work for his/her degree should attend this school. A person who wants an education and is seeking an institution that offers financial support should also attend this school. Michigan State University is a very big and social school so I believe it would definitely help you if you are an outgoing person. One who is seeking friends and support from peers should also attend this school. Lastly, if you are into sports, MSU is the school for you. The sporting events are great and it has many great memories.

One to attend Michigan State University should be motivated, intelligent with eagerness to learn more, respectful, open-minded, fun, responsible, and have a yearning to meet new people and try new things.
