Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most students agree that MSU’s facilities are adequate enough to suit their needs. Facilities that are not open 24 hours a day open early in the morning and close late at night, accommodating both early birds and night owls. The University makes a constant effort to update computer labs, fitness rooms, and libraries, and it maintains the grounds nicely. Class buildings and dorms are constantly being modernized, and students say they are very satisfied with recent cafeteria renovations.

MSU recently unveiled a plan called “2020 Vision: A Community Concept for the Michigan State University Campus,” which incorporates planning principles and parameters for three basic components: parking, transportation, and open space; buildings, land use, and environmental issues; and the detailed planning necessary for each of a series of proposed campus districts. The goal of this plan is to create an updated campus environment that facilitates the mission of the University, preserves MSU’s heritage, and responds to the needs of students and faculty. Most students have agreed that “2020 Vision” is a step in the right direction to ensure that MSU is protecting its past while preparing for a promising future.

MSU Facilities

Many buildings and residence halls, like Holden hall, have been remodeled and are really nice. The more original, older buildings give the campus an old vintage like feel, which is cool. Most of the staff is really nice and helpful. Sometimes I wonder how some of these students got in to MSU, or even graduated High School. They seem to lack common sense or even a brain for that matter. Some of the students are a bit pretentious, dumb, and stuck up, but others are generally nice. MSU offers a lot of campus activities. As a commuter, the parking is a bit expensive, but expected. The tuition is also extremely expensive. For all the money I am paying, I would like for there to be a better wireless internet service. The one they have now isn't as strong in some parts of the main campus. Sometimes I will loose a connection in the middle of class, then after 10 minutes will get it back.

The IM East & West Sports Center(S)

These specific centers provide all of the tools and instruments that an athlete needs to be successful. Along with the available help and guidance, this campus as a whole...is tremendous.!

Facts

Favorite Things To Do

In between classes, you can sweat off some stress on the tennis courts, attend a museum tour, watch a play or music concert, grab a bite to eat or some dessert at The Dairy Store, or settle down to a free movie at Wells Hall—all without ever leaving campus.

The school shows a lot of movies, and these are very popular with students looking to relax for a few hours. During the warmer months, the tennis courts are always packed with students and the WJ Beal Botanical Gardens draw crowds of nature lovers. The International Center, MSU Union, and auditorium are hosts to concerts, guest speakers, hypnotists, and fashion shows throughout the year.

Did You Know?

The number of students in the library around 1 a.m. during finals week can reach up to 1,200 people—a far cry from the 100 to 200 students present on a normal weekday night throughout the semester.
