Spartan Football! Every student MUST get season tickets. I'd also say study abroad. I formed a ton of friendships on study abroad that I wouldn't trade for the world. It was a great experience and an opportunity I'll only have once in my life.
It's great that MSU makes all freshmen live in the dorms because you really learn a lot about yourself and it's a great way to meet people.
Yes partying is a huge part of life here, but if you don't like to party you don't have to. No one forces that upon you. There are plenty of activities on campus that don't involve drinking.

With over 500 student student groups, it's hard to call any specific group popular. Some of the more popular activities, however, include the sporting events. A home football game is almost certain to have more than 70,000 attendees, and our basketball team is a consistent top 10 program which makes for many March Madness related activities.

There are so manu clubs and student activites for students to choose from. There is always special guests and concerts for to students to enjoy for free or very inexpensive. Everynight there will be somthing going on. People are always out doing somthing. If not, there are plenty of cafes and other places open late at night to help the late night student.

When I go to MSU in the fall I plan to be involved. I know from being at orientation that students dont just leave their doors wide open and unlocked beacuse of the risk of things being stolen. I know that football games are a very popular event along with basketball games. If i am awake at 2am on a tuesday I am most likely studying! I would say people party 3 days a week at MSU. Off campus there are many things to do such as clubs and concerts

I won't lie...this town parties. And when they party, they party hard. However, aside from the famous "Welcome Week", this is a very active campus in terms of different clubs/sports that taylor to all kinds of people. On a Saturday afternoon, Spartan stadium is the place to be. Saturday night, assuming the football team hasn't blown it in the 4th quarter, we celebrate on Grand River Avenue all night and cheer on our favorite college :-)

One of the most awesome things about MSU is that on almost any night, there's something going on. There might be a play on Monday, an intramural game on Tuesday, a concert on Wednesday, a Frat party on Thursday, a comedy show on Friday, and a football game on Saturday. They keep us busy.

IM sports are very popular. I've done football, basketball, hockey, and softball, and they're all fun. Athletic events are really popular. Basketball and Football are immensely popular and so is hockey. All sporting events are so much fun and are also a good way to meet people. The dating scene at MSU is again, what u make it. There are plenty of kids to choose from. People party a lot. Not as much as what people think tho. No one is really getting drunk on a Tuesday night. But on weekends, there is a good amount of partying going on. It's all a lot of fun tho and people just want to have a good time. I partied on most weekends and had a blast. Honestly, u don't end up doing that much off campus. Unless its going to Meijer's or getting something to eat along grand river. MSU is so big that whatever u need or wanna do is on the campus.

Even though most students are not regular drinkers, there is a lot of drinking that happens on and around campus, especially in the houses and frats north of Grand River Ave. Halloween, the UofM football game, and Cedar Fest, and Welcome Week are the 4 biggest events on campus that involve vast amounts of beer and liquor. Without drinking there is still a lot to do on weekends, but there is a party scene that cannot be ignored.
