MSU is just like any other big university. It's very into its sports, and students like to have fun. However, there is a very educational side to MSU that a lot of people look over. Although MSU students know how to have a good time, they also know when its time to really concentrate and study hard.

NO, the student population is fantastic and everyone is really nice! Yes, there are a ton of parties, but there are plenty of activities to do if partying is not your thing. Plus, other students, teachers, and ta's are always willing to help at anytime.

There are many people in the Greek System (and most of them do wear beer shirts, North Faces and leggings), but the majority of students are not part of this system.
