Michigan State University Top Questions

Some of the professors, though very smart and experienced, have no clue how to teach effectively.

Walking across campus in the winter.

Sometimes it's too big and can initially seem overwhelming.

There is an apathetic attitude from the majority of students here about the world around them, about anything outside themselves.

The most frustrating thing for me at MSU was my first couple of months getting used to everything. I come from a town of 8,000 people, and MSU has almost 50,000 people. I couldn't figure out the bus system, how to get to and from my classes, and was overwhelmed with the size of my classes. But, after a couple of months, I started to get used to the size of the campus. Now, I know campus better than anyone that I personally know, and I absolutely love it.

The most frustrating thing about MSU to me is how i did not receive any type of financial aid, and even after my grades still dont receive any. I could have gone to a more prestigous college but i figured i would get money for attending MSU. The other frustrating thing is the cold and the snow.

A lot of the professors do not speak English, so you can not understand a word they say, and then you end up failing the class.

The distance I need to travel to see friends and do errands.

The ammount of people, you must find small communities within the school and make it home.

Off campus housing, close to school, is really expensive.

The most frustrating thing at my school is the somewhat unorganized program I am in. They are constantly changing the degree requirements and it makes it hard to have classes correctly scheduled each semester.

The most frustrating thing about Michigan State University is that the programs are very competitive. I am going into nursing and our school only accepts 60 students per semester.

The most frustrating thing about my school is being known as the alcohol using school. There is more than jus parties that goes on the weekend. People can study and attend concerts or do something very productive besides getting drunk all the time.

I guess the only thing that really frustrates me would be the amount of money it costs to attend this place. My parents are divorced but I have to combine the income of both of my homes and the school looks at that amount to see how much assistance I am getting financially. I have 8 other brothers and sisters. My parents cannot afford to help me out with school, but the university doesn't realize this so I am forced to fund myself and take out loans; severely increasing my debt. Tuition just seems too high.

The most frustrating thing about Michigan State is the parking. There is little to no parking for students and where there is parking it is so far away and cost so much money. Another thing that is frustrating is the fact that we spend so much money on varisty sporrts when there are other things around campus that could be imporved. Overall, it is a wonderful campus and wonderful people!

Financial aid is somewhat of a hinderance. Instead of helping to find ways to pay for college for effectively, they offer us high interest loans without defferment and expect us to pay them back while we're still students. It often seems as though the university is so money driven that they forget that we are enrolled in the school for higher education, not simple the name of the school.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that it is hard to do well in your classes if you have a full schedule. In my situation, I have classes at different times of the day, every day of the week and I would still like to have a job and work out on a regular basis. Not to mention my social life that I want to keep in tact with. It will be hard to maintain, but hopefully I will be able to go through with it.

Getting past the intro level classes into something that is more interesting.

Getting distracted.

There are so many people around the sidewalks get very crowded at times. It makes it difficult to get around campus and it takes a long time to get to classes, especially in the winter.
