Michigan State University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Michigan State University accurate?

Scott

As with most stereotypes, there are bits of truth to every bit. MSU doesn't have as strict of admissions standards as Michigan or some other schools. That being said, MSU is a renowned educational and research institution. A couple of examples: They have the number one communication undergraduate degree program, and contain a cutting edge particle accelerator facility with lots of undergraduate research opportunities. A lot of students at MSU like to party, but that doesnt mean everyone there does it regularly if at all. If you like to party, you can always find one, however, if you are like me and are not interested in that aspect of schoool there are plenty of alcohol free activities that can provide you with four years of a lot of fun.

No they are not accurate. I didn't even apply to U of M. I would much rather be a Spartan. We are not all farmers, but we are proud of our Agriculture program. It is rare and important to our history.

Laura

from what I have seen, yes.

Stephanie

No: there are parties at MSU, but there are parties at every school No: I did not even apply to U of M, 99.9{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the people who go to MSU want to be there

Megan

No

Kelsey

NOT at all. If you look at the statistics with the riots on MSU campus... more than 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of all the arrests are from students that don't even attend here. They come from all over, Central, Eastern, U of M and make our school look bad.

Matt

Not really, MSU has a great party scene but i think it is compariable to any other university of the same size.

michelle

Yes---but not everyone parties...but there's always something going on.

Lindsay

For the most part yes. I haven't met too many down to earth people. Most seem quite stuck up.

Ashley

No. While many students may like to party, not everyone does. Those who do party are usually well-educated and smart anyway.
