College Prowler Take
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. Students Speak Out

All the IM buildings are pretty nice and relatively new. But you have to pay $3 for a day pass and around $50 for a semester pass. There are some fun classes like yoga or kick boxing but you have to pay for those too. The union is a really fun place to hang out because there's a food court, a computer lab, and a bunch of couches to study or just hang out on. The library is usually pretty full, but is still a nice place to study. The cyber cafe has great coffee, though it is expensive.

There are great sports facilities, but the football stadium needs to be updated. I do feel that for the amount of money we pay the student facilities should be better. The work out facilities are very small compared to the amount of students who go here.

The facilities are great. We have awesome resources here. I think the only thing that could use some updating are the dance studio in IM Circle and some of the Theatre building could use some work.

The facilities on campus are fairly decent and utilized by most students. The IM fitness facilities provide an open gym, fitness class, and pool to students. Computer labs are conveniently located in most campus buildings and residence halls. |

The music building is old and crappy, but it’s like home, so we get along. Facilities here that I have been to are very nice and new, especially on the south side of campus. My dorm, Abbot, was recently renovated and so we have really nice bathrooms. It’s an older dorm with high ceilings. I like it better than the newer dorms. |
FactsWhat To Do on Campus
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.
Favorite Things To Do
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.
Bowling on Campus
- A 16-lane bowling alley in the Union
Movie Theater on Campus
- None, but Residence Halls Association sponsors free movies for students every weekend in Wells Hall.
Coffeehouse on Campus
- In the biomedical facilities
- In the International Center
- In the library
- In the Union
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.
