Michigan State University Top Questions

MSU does have alot of parties. Most people enjoy having a good time. However, what sets us apart is that we are able to get our work done, make the grades, and then go out and enjoy ourselves. The classes here are difficult, and you definitely need to study.

The university is big now and offers lots of different degree programs.

No Way. Yeah MSU students know how to party, but we also know how to get down to work and produce excellent results with whatever we undertake. As for U of M, that is for every individual to decide on thier own. However, in my case, MSU out shined MSU in every way in terms of the campus, people, communication curriculum, and anything else I could ever think of.

Although we are known as a party school (because we can get down), we are not a bunch of drunken heathens who skip class and barely graduate. We work hard so we can party hard; we're well rounded people with a little bookworm and partier in all of us. The two most recent "riots" could have been avoided if the police didn't show up in riot gear before anything had happened. Although the news portrays the events in favor of the city and the law, those of us who were there (and sober) remember it all going down quite differently. I'm not saying that there were some stupid kids doing some stupid things, but the vast majority of us were behaving as we usually do when we're out partying. The police showed up in riot gear before anything had happened and began shooting off tear gas just to get people moving. They told us to go back to campus; but what the news failed to tell people is that we tried to go back to campus. The cops had every road/path blocked off and guarded except for the two on either end of campus. So we weren't trying to stay out on the streets, but were left no choice.

They are smart but unsure about how much they party.

Not usually, there is a lot of drinking and partying, but not as much as rumors will make you believe.

If you want to party, you can find a party, but if you don't want to party, you can find people that don't party, too. We are at school for academics, so we do study :). Most of the arrests at Cedar Fest WERE NOT MSU students. There are a good portion of the students at football games who do not make fools out of themselves and are very proud of our school

Not at all. MSU has shown me that people here have the ability to balance their lives as needed in the real world. Although we do spend much time socializing, we also can balance schoolwork and jobs at the same time- sucessfully. This is unlike many other universities in the state, where schoolwork dominates and students have trouble adjusting to the "real world" of having jobs, families, and a social life. To put it best, we work hard and play hard.

MSU does have a large campus but it is not difficult to find your way around. MSU students are really helpful and friendly!!

It depends on the individual, not the school.
