Michigan State University Top Questions

MSU has an extremely diverse body of students. There is a club or group for any sort of way you could differentiate people. I feel that the student body is dispersed through many different cultures, ethnicity, and religions. It would be very easy to come from pretty much any background and be able to fit in and find others similar to you, if you wished. Also, many of the students are friendly and welcoming so meeting new people is very easy. Most students dress pretty casually for class. Usually it is just jeans and t-shirts or tank tops with sweaters.

Students at MSU all have Spartan pride. We all seem to share the love we have for our school. There are students from Michigan, as well as the rest of the US, along with international students.

Like I said before, there are students of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds all over campus. No students should feel out of place. I guarantee there are 50 more students in your situation and you can befriend them easily through groups or clubs. During the winter, everyone wears sweatpants and hoodies. During the spring, its all about the shorts and T-shirts. I would say that most students come from a middle class family, such as myself.

There are a lot of different people here, because the school is so big. No one would feel out of place at MSU. People wear many different things to class, from suits to pajamas. Most kids are about "average" in financial background.

MSU is very racially diverse and LGBT friendly. You can find a club or organization for virtually ANY type of interest on camous. Most students are fairly casual when coming to class, however upperclassmen are often getting closer to having a career and you may seem them dressing more business-appropriate when heading to class. You will interact with so many different types of people when you arrive at this school, and I have never seen anyone shun a certain race or pick fights with others. I would say that most students are middle-class and are very aware of others' feelings, and tend to be very mature about differences.

MSU students are the best part about the school. The size of the student body ensures that you will be able to find many people with similar interests and hobbies. It's pretty hard to be lonely at this school. There is always something going on and people are always available to talk and hang out. The makeup of the students is similar to most B1G universities. The majority of students are white followed by Asian, black, and Hispanic. Everyone seems to get along nicely and there are rarely problems with race. MSU has a good mix that will expose you to all cultures and races over a 4-5 period. I have noticed that the foreign students from Asia sometimes form up into cliques and do not really get outside of them. I think this might just be a language and cultural barrier. Fortunately each dorm has a cultural aid to help students fit in and adjust quickly. Politically the school is much more diverse than normal. There is slight liberal feel to the campus, but a sizable portion of the student body is conservative. Whatever your views are there is likely a campus group that you can match up with. East Lansing is a considerably more conservative campus than Ann Arbor or Madison. There is a balance here that is not usually found in large universities. The financial make up of the students is mostly upper-middle class mixed with many other situations. You'll likely encounter students from all economic backgrounds. It doesn't seem to be an issue and is rarely brought up in conversation. I don't think I've ever really talked about it with my friends. Student interaction is a big thing on this campus. That is why you come to Michigan State over other B1G schools. The people here are friendly and it is easy to network and make connections. There are plenty of opportunities to hang out and party on the weekends once your work is done. Meeting people of the opposite sex is a breeze at this school and is probably the number #1 unsung asset of MSU. Speaking from a male perspective I had no trouble meeting girls. Like I said earlier, making connections here is easy. In an age when many people have resorted to online dating sites, college provides an essential opportunity to hone your skills and meet your soul mate. The girls at MSU tend to be much more attractive than at other schools (trying to be unbiased). Most girls here are fit, pretty, and easy to talk to, which makes it great for guys. I would assume that girls feel the same, but I can't speak for them. All in all State has a fantastic dating scene that will definitely satisfy a scholarly gentleman.

There are so many different groups of students at our school, it's extremely diverse. Anyone can find a club they are interested in. You can make this school as large or as small as you want. There is ALWAYS an opportunity to find something to do on campus. It doesn't matter who you are, where you came from, or what you hope to achieve, you will always find something that is up your alley.

Because of the diversity and size of Michigan State, there is no specific personality type that this school caters to. There are many different types of people and unless you are part of a hate geared group such as the KKK, I doubt you would feel out of place here. However, it is important to be outgoing, meeting people can be tough if you let a shy personality prevent you from making friends.

Michigan State has one of the most diverse campuses. With so many students we have a little bit of everything, from racial, religious, socio-economic, and gender differences. There are many students that are in-state but we have many out of state students as well as international students from China, India, Korea, etc. Diversity is important because no matter where you go in life, you will encounter people of difference backgrounds and you can learn from them. It gives you differences of opinion and various ideas. The diverse groups really help you grow and learn as you progress to your chosen careers.
