Michigan State University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Michigan State University accurate?

Erin

Sometimes stereotypes are true. Afterall, they do root from some truth. I will admit that Msu Studes do liek to have fun but everyone (at least in my section of MSU) they buckle down when necessary and get their work done. Msu is what you want it to be, if you want to go out and have fun you can but plenty of people stay in and get work done.

Kelsey

To a certain extent. I think that any school is a party school but you just have to have the right balance between partying and getting your work done.

Natalie

no, Reality is that it isnt okay you get nothing but being behind

Lindsey

Definitely not. This campus has become renound for its partying antics and rioting lifestyle back in the early 90's. However, MSU and its students are proud to be apart of this community and we take pride in all of our sporting programs, including enjoying the success of our fellow Big Ten school, the University of Michigan.

NO I don't think so. I am an international student from Mumbai, and I could have chosen any other college in the US and still I chose MSU because it is a good college with great faculty and a diverse student body.

Matt

If you're looking for a drinking or partying school, you'll find your fair share of it, but there are plenty of other things to do on any given night. As far as MSU being second rate to UofM, I personally know a number of students who chose MSU after being accepted into UofM for a number of new and upcoming programs, or to be a part of the research programs at State.

Andrew

-no, except the one about cute girls

Heather

we do party a lot, not everyone is a UofM reject, and most of the classes are somewhat challenging so you most definitely have to go to class

Alex

Yes, generally speaking. However, most students graduate in 5 years because the university has such strict requirements in each college. If you switch majors, and especially if you switch colleges within the university, you are likely to need an extra year of school.
