What do you consider the worst thing about Michigan State University? Why?

The worst thing about MSU would be the perceived reputation as a complete "party school". Despite MSU being one of the best schools in the world, it sometimes feels as though people don't take the education you are getting as serious. I was one of those people before I enrolled. The minute I stepped foot on campus, I realized. Instantly, the community; the surroundings of the university engulfed me and within a few moments I felt the Spartan sprit run freely through me. The only thing I wish is for more people to realize the same things I did.

I find this school to be fantastic. However, scheduling can be quite a hassle especially if you participate in school activities such as athletics or band. If it conflicts with your practice time, you cannot take the class and no exceptions are usually made which at times can be disappointing.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

The worst thing about school has to be not knowing anyone that can help me with important decisions towards my major, such as which classes are important to take even though they aren't part of my requirements? I have many more uestions that need to be answered.

The sheer size of the school definitely has a down side. Sometimes you feel lost in the thick of things. Even though there is a sense of community at Michigan State, it's hard to get more of that family feeling because it's so big.

That it is so big I won't get to explore and see every part of it.

I believe the worst thing at my university is the amount of people who do not care about their education present at the university. Michigan State is known as the "party school" of Michigan, and that is evident among the attitude of most of my freshman peers. They live to party, and this affects the education of everyone, even those, like myself, who attend Michigan State for an education. Most weekends, often starting on Wednesday of all nights, the girls in my dorm invite many of their friends over, causing much noise and making it difficult to study.

The worst thing about my school is all of the people who think if you have a "pulse" you get in or it is full of drunks. It makes me angry because every college has alcohol and when you single out the college I am attending it infuriates me because I worked very hard through high school to make it this far and I am not about to sit there and have people rag on my school.

It's a large campus so it takes a while to get to classes. You need to plan your classes accordingly so you have time to get from one building to the next.

David

The worst thing about Michigan State University is that it is so big of a school that it is easy to become just a number instead of being a valued student. The school is known as being a very large school, not just population wise but the campus is big as well, so with issues like finding help with class or getting involved with campus activitites can be hard. Also knowing where to go to get help or involved is an issue I struggled with my freshman year.
