Michigan State University Top Questions

I have not yet started my academics at MSU yet. I just recently enrolled in all of my classes for the fall and spring semisters. I am looking forward to take my Psychology class in the fall and my advertising class in the spring. I think it will be a great oppertunity to learn and find out more about what I will be majoring in. I hope that i will know my professors names and have a way to contact them all when needed.

The great thing that I've learned from MSU's academic programs is their constant reminders and goals of getting their students a job/career after graduation. That is definitely one of the most stressed factors from this university. Job/Career fairs are plentiful on this campus and assuming that students are striving to push themselves so that they will be successful in the future, a career after graduation is definitely attainable from this university.

MSu student are not very competitive, although everyone has something smart to say. The professors-or atleast the ones I have had so far- are extremely helpful, and more than willing to help you outside the classroom. STudents mainly study before finals or midterms but I guess that is the case in most colleges. My favorite class at MSu has been PHL 353 with prof. peterson. He is awesome do take him if you get the chance.

I'm part of the Residential College in the Arts & Humanities. As far as academics go, I can't think of a better program. I know everyone in all of my classes and I know all of my professors on a first name basis. I can also go see my Academic Advisor at any time. We've talked through my ideas for my future and realistically planned my academics around them.

At MSU u are responsible for your own success. The professors will not care if u pass or fail. Most of them will not know your name, however I am in my 3rd year here and I have yet to run into a bad professor. Most of them know their shit and know how to teach. My major is hospitality business. I encourage anyone to pursue this major. It is broad and very interesting. Plus i know MSU is world reknowned for its HB school. Despite the MSU stereotype, during the week everyone studies....everyone. Most people have learned that if u don't, u won't last here.

Most classes are held in lecture halls with 200-500 students, although there are some smaller classes with 15-40 students as well. Obviously in lecture classes the professor won't know everyone's name, but they encourage class participation just as much as the smaller classes, making it feel more personal. You could easily blend into the background and never talk or even come to some classes while others have daily activities to check for attendance.

French classes are on par with other universities.

Well, because I take classes' in my residential college, the class sizes remain smaller, so it is easier for professors to learn everyone's name. If you are a freshman, don't plan on liking the classes that you MUST take, the fun will come later. Use your one elective or class that you like and let it help you keep your sanity. I myself had a hard time with the different teachings that the humanities has to offer. In my experience, I am in charge of my education and the colleges are geared towards helping me more channel what I want to do.

With so many students there are some large classes but I don't feel it takes away from the learning experience at all.

Classes at MSU are hard. Not impossible, but definitely difficult. You have to work hard, you have to study a lot. But if this is done, it will pay off in the end. Because a degree from MSU is a great one to have. If you are struggling in a class, there are always ways to get help.
