Michigan State University Top Questions

Go Green!! Random Facts about MSU: We send students to every continent in the world with study abroad programs (yes, including Antarctica). MSU houses the two cyclotrons which allows us to identify new isotopes of elements all the time. The Beaumont Tower houses one of a handful of carillons in the country. Sparty is the second largest ceramic statue in the world (the real one that now sits in the stadium). MSU's football stadium is the loudest college stadium in the country.

First semester I did really well, but I effed things up second. Just make sure you are getting your crap done when you have time so you don't save it all til the last minute. I always tried to get my crap done so I could have a blast on the weekends and not worry about anything. Oh, and make friends. Even if you're shy, you probably will.

Nope.

If there's one thing that you should do if you come to MSU, it would be to join a club.

Basically Michigan State University is the B-E-S-T university out there. The unity of all the students is #1 the friends you will meet are #1 and the beauty of the campus along with the academic aspects and preparing you for the real world are #1 as well. College is truly the best time of your life. I know it's important to take your classes seriously and do well-- but like I said before, build up your time management skills. Study in the morning, during the week and have fun and go out and meet people at night. Do as many things as you can to be a part of the MSU family. Be a part of the IZZONE! (camping out for it with friends is a BLAST), go to the football games and learn the special chants that we love yelling, even though other more conservative people may not) "FIRST DOWN B*&@#!!", just fall in love with everything I've just described and learn what it means to be a Spartan !!

I really love this school and hope what I said helped.

GO GREEN!

I am bias. I am probably venting because I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life 4 years ago and I still don't care now. Without knowing what you want to do it's hard to find a clique of dedicated people to hang out with. Since I was mission-less I fell into groups that I didn't understand. I cared about the world around me and what it all meant while everyone else would just mock the topic if I tried to open a real conversation up. I think my real advice is "It doesn't matter what school you go to if you know what you want to do. If you are lucky enough to have a "passion to be" then you can achieve it." That passion is what I lack and surrounding myself with this school only made me feel worse about it.

The MSU Nursing program has a reputation of being unpredictable and even discriminatory. I am still surprised that I was rejected from entering their programs, even though my pre-requisite coursework GPA is 3.5 and I have a recent M.B.A. with a 4.0 GPA. MSU staff was not honest with me when I discussed program requirements before I began taking nursing pre-req's. My MSU alumni husband has been a longtime generous donor, and was so disappointed in MSU's treatment of me that he ended his donations. It seems like MSU values football/sports instead of ensuring quality academic program management (at least in the Nursing program). I'm attending LCC's Nursing program and will obtain my BSN from UofM-Flint. It still doesn't make sense to me that I'm going to UofM and not MSU.

The decision to go to MSU was one of the best decisions I've made in my life.
