Michigan State University Top Questions

I love MSU! It has my major, plant biology, which isn't seen very often. The campus is huge, but that just means we have an amazing student section at all of the big games. And, you never know who you might see while walking around campus. Campus is one big block, so there isn't much other than a main street with shops. And Lansing isn't the best city either. But, everything you need is on campus or right off of it on Grand River. I spend most of my time on campus because of that.There is a lot of school pride. Everyone is always wearing green and white. We have been winning a lot in football, basketball and other sports, so the games are well-attended and are very fun. One experience I will always remember is being in the stands when we won the MSU-Wisconsin game by a Hail Mary!

Going to Michigan State University was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I'm getting an excellent education, meeting and working with distinguished professors, and I made amazing friends that I know I will keep for the rest of my life. But, Michigan State University is a big school, one of the largest, and sometimes it means you're just another student. Especially when it comes to sports games and tuition, it's hard to really have a voice (like finding a parking spot or winning a scholarship). If I have to be honest though, I'm really glad I decided to come here.

My overall opinion about Michigan State is that it is just a great place to be. The best thing about it is the spirit and sense of pride you feel as a Spartan. The only thing I would change is some of my requirements for my major! Some may feel that this university is too large, but I don't feel that way at all. I transferred from a small private school and MSU has felt more like home. People react pretty well when I tell them what I am studying here. I spend most of my time on campus in the GIS computer labs working on programs, cartography and other geography-based homework for my minor! If I'm not there, I can be found either in Criminal Justice classes or possibly grabbing brunch with my classmates at one of the many places to eat on campus! East Lansing is an amazing college town with SO much to do, and especially good night life! Some of my favorite memories have been made here, and nothing can top the excitement of the home football games in the crisp, fall weather.

Michigan State University gives a student endless opportunities to grow. The teachers care about your success, and there are extra curricular activities for everyone. The best part about MSU is the unity among the students. Even though the campus is one of the largest in the country, it gets smaller every day, and you always meet new people. When you meet people after graduation and both of you have attended MSU, a connection is instantly made.

I love everything about this school. There's a large amount of people so you can meet many people with similar interests. There are many things clubs to join or intramural sports to play. Everyone take pride in our university and there is a great atmosphere

I love it here. It's a large school but I wouldn't have it any other way. There are so many opportunities and different people. The student body shows a lot of pride in MSU. It's located right in the middle of East Lansing, MI. Most of the city is made up of campus, but there are still a lot of things to do off campus. Also, downtown Lansing is not far at all, that's where the capitol is and there are a lot of bars there too.

Overall this school is a 10/10. It has something for everyone. Don't be intimidated by the campus size or the number of people that go here. It is very easy to make friends and get involved here. The classes can be large but the professors are usually very helpful and have office hours if you need 1 on 1 help, don't be afraid to approach them! The campus itself is beautiful and has a serene river running through the heart of campus. It is easy to find nooks and crannys to relax and study in. There are many old historic buildings to explore and the new art museum looks like it will be very interesting. They have been constructing a lot of new buildings on campus, especially for the research oriented majors. Getting around is no problem with a bike or a bus pass. The best part about this university is the people who go here. They are down to earth and very friendly for the most part. It is easy to make friends and form connections. There is literally a student group for everything and there are always events to go to. If you like sports look no further. The football, basketball, and hockey programs are top notch and are a constant source of excitement for students. Attending fall games in Spartan Stadium and tailgating with friends and alumni is easily one of my most cherished memories.Even if you're not into sports I would recommend attending a few of the games just for the experience. If you're looking for the complete college experience this is it. Michigan State has just about everything you could want in a school aside from being in the Ivy League. Even still many of the programs are highly ranked. My major (Criminal Justice) is ranked in the top 10 nationally as are many others. I take pride in calling myself a Spartan and I am absolutely satisfied with the education I received. It was worth every cent.

I bleed green! This school has so much spirit, I'm not sure any other college can compare. I think it's a fantastic place to get an education.

Overall my opinion of Michigan State University is very favorable. The education is unmatched in many fields, campus is beautiful, the dorms/cafeterias are nice and the community is amazing. My biggest complaint with MSU would be the bureaucratic nature of many things. Additionally, some administrative departments can be poorly run, and it is not uncommon to be given a hard time at the Financial Aid department, for example.

Personally, I absolutely love Michigan State. It's located in the college town of East Lansing, MI. We have a very large campus, but if MSU is the right place for you, then it doesn't matter the size, you will find your niche. It may seem too large for some people, being one of the largest college campuses in the country, but I like it. Maybe it's not the right fit for you, but you learn quickly where things are and how to get around. I'm in my senior year at MSU, and those years fly by. If I could change one thing about my time here, it would be to really cherish every memory I made because before you know it, you'll be graduating. Our school is one of the schools with the most college pride! We take our sports seriously and it's one of the best things about being a part of this school.
