MSU is a large university and can seem impersonal because of its size. It is important to find a niche at MSU where you can make friends with similar interests.

The worst thing about MSU is the walking distance required to make it to some of my classes. Ifone class runs late, it could hinder my ability to make it on time to another one of my classes that may be closely scheduled.

The one thing that frustrates me most about my school is how hard it is to get into the nursing program. I am a sophomore this year and I have been working at William Beaumont Hospital-RO for two years, and I love the career of nursing. I would love to get my degree in nursing at MSU but it is extremely discouraging when they only take 60 students a semester and there are over 44,000 students who attend. There is a great need for nurses, and I just wish they would accept more than 60 students a semester.

The worst thing about Michigan State University is the cost of tuition, for me. It's the worst part because I don't come from a family with very much money. I grew up in Texas until I was 13, and then attended high school and the end of middle school in Okemos, Michigan, which is a very wealthy community though my family wasn't wealthy. It's hard to pay for tuition even with the amount of aid I receive and the number of jobs I work.

The worst thing about Michigan State University (MSU) is its size. MSU is one of the biggest schools in the country--both in number of students and geographic area. While this size provides amazing opportunities (the campus has its own supercollider) and many chances to meet new people, if makes it really difficult to get to know people as more than simply an acquaintance. The geographic largeness also makes for a lot of walking--which isn't fun in the rain. Luckily, MSU has a very good bus system.

I consider the worst thing about my school is that it is a party school. The ruckus starts Thursday night and continues through Sunday morning; game day is even worse. The students (especially the freshman) take advantage of the enormous population of bars, frats, and the absense of parents and do things they wouldn't normally do. It's sad to see so many good people lose themselves in the chaos of freshman year and end up dropping out. Every school has their ups and downs, but I feel that this is the most promienent problem here at Michigan State.

Although the university has over 200 majors and minors, there are a few very popular programs like pharmacy and occupational therapy that aren't offered as majors, which makes students uninterested in attending.
