Michigan State University Top Questions

How hard it it can be to juggle a social life and your school work. Also that you need to study at least 2-3 hours a day if not more depending on how hard the class is.

I wish I had known that this school is a place for everyone. I spent a lot of time worrying about if I would belong here. Since the first day I arrived here I've felt welcome and accepted. There is every type of person here you could imagine. I wish I had spent less time worrying, and more time preparing for the amazing time I was going have.

I wish I had realized how large the campus really was, definitely during the winter months. Also, realized how large some lectures would be and how overwhelming a 600 person lecture becomes.

How terrible the weather in Michigan is, yesterday the "feels like" temperature was 20 degrees (F) below, and how infrequently Michigan State University cancels classes when the conditions get so bad.

I wish I knew how to study better. I would have done much better in my first semester of school.

The size of the campus can be overwhelming for some students, however the amount of activities available for students to become involved helps to make the transition easier.

i wish i knew how to study efficiently. not to be too stubborn the first time around to ask for help. to know how to balence time right and acually know how much i should out into an art piece without being so distracted all the time. to communiciate with professors instead of always leaving the classes and do not push myself too hard on myself if i dont. To have a summer job before hand instead of scratching up money or crying over spending 50 dollars in an anime convention. most importantly i wished i had more confidence.

I wish I knew how expensive everything was. I do not regret my decision coming to MSU, I LOVE MY SCHOOL. College is just expensive, and I know everyone tells you to "do scholarships" but I did not take them serious. I understand why they said it now.

I wish I had known how close knit students at this school were and how the professors really want you to succeed. Also, how easy it is to make friends and form life-long connections. I wouldn't of been so timid to come in at first. At Michigan State, every student is part of a community which includes socialization events and getting help from other students who work in places like the writing centers and math labs that aim to help struggling students get better grades and excel in their coursework.

Before i came to this school, I wish that I had known proper study habits because my high school did not adequately prepare me for the college curriculum and so I have struggled.
