Michigan State University Top Questions

it's very expensive! books are ridiculous, and parking is horrible on campus (and off campus).

TOO MUCH DRINKING sometimes...we were playboy's number one for years...we are actually not allowed to be on an amatuer list anymore, since we're "professionals"

The worst thing about my school is, well I do not know it to be true but I am not sure that Teaching Assistants who are required to to teach a class to graduate are properly taught to teach. And this as crippled me multiple times when I was stuck with a T.A. who knew very much about the subject but not very much on how to take their knowledge and give to us in a fashion that would no only allow us to learn the material but to apply it later on throughtout our college carrer.

The judgemental attitudes some people carry with them.

In the larger classes you are more of a number than a person and rarely interact directly on-on-one with the professor.

The off-campus housing is awful. There are a few massive companies that really control all of the houses and apartments, and they are outrageous with their pricing. The houses aren't in very good condition.

Our reputation as a drinking school. Yes there are a lot of drinkers, but you can do whatever you want at MSU. There is a lot going on under teh surface.

The ammount of people that are in fraternities. It is almost annoying how many people are involved in that sort of atmosphere.

The worst thing about the school is dorm food. The school does not offer a lot of whole food options besides elementary salad bars. Being a nutritional science major I know it's important to consume generous servings of fruits, vegatables, and whole grains. While the campus does offer some of the basics, like apples and bananas, they lack the diversity of these nutrient dense foods that are required for active and healthy students and primarily stick to salted fried overcooked meats.

I dont consider anything to be really bad. I think it is a very good school and everyone will have their opinions about why they might not like something or why they do like something.
