Michigan State University
Reviews

It Is Michigan, Come on.

I don't have much to say here. If you know anything about Michigan, you know it's unpredictable. So, keep an umbrella in your backpack, AT ALL TIMES. You never know when you're going to walk outside of lecture expecting the sunny day you saw when you went in, and it's pouring rain. When you pack, bring rain shoes, snow boots, winter jacket, etc. You'll need them all.

Taken Care of Crime

MSU does have crime there is no doubt about that, but the police take great care of it all. They send mass emails to the student body informing everyone of what has occurred and how to take care of it if it happens to you.

Sparty on

Clubs are ok, bars are alright, gets really rowdy sometimes, strip clubs are fun,dorm parties are skecthy but sweet, frat parties are awesome, and house parties are the absoulte best. Sparty on.

MSU Sports Are Awesome

MSU's Football, Hockey, and Basketball teams are not only amazingly good and always one of the best teams in the Big Ten, but also the student sections are crazy fun. The Izzone in basketball and the student section in hockey and football are ridiculous due to all the students that attend the games

Michigan State Campus Life

Positives: The newer dorms are great and have lofts, tile floors, the furniture is easy to move and some are detachable into counters, has the best cafe in the big ten, and are redoing numerous cafes at the moment and all the current cafes have great food, especially brody cafe which is amazing, the social life is great, almost everybody is friendly and enjoys playing sports and/or partying. There's thousands of activities and things to do and the nature of the campus is awesomely beautiful and perfect for doing outdoor activites.

Negatives: Going to state as an incoming freshemen is difficult because the website is confusing and you don't really know what you're suspose to do and complete, and the cost is pretty expensive.

MSU Makes EL

Pretty much East Lansing is catered to college students. All of Grand River is bars, clothing stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and head shops catered for the students. There are always places to shop and two decent malls are a short bus ride away. As far as cultural events, MSU itself sponsors a lot of them, not the city of East Lansing, but there are quite a few. If you want to go to a concert every weekend, I would suggest driving to Grand Rapids or the Detroit area, but East Lansing does bring in some big acts every once in awhile. Most adults living in East Lansing love the students. Why else would they live here?

Computer Labs

There are many computer labs at State and are very convenient.You can always find a computer to use.Wifi also is convenient if you have you own computer.Printing material out is cheap and affordable.

Why Is MSU Special?

Every student at MSU is proud to be a Spartan. Being a Spartan means more than just attending the college. It's going to all the home games and cheering on our teams together through thick and thin. It's studying anywhere in the world for weeks at a time knowing that you're making a difference. Some students go to college and graduate with nothing but a degree. MSU students remain Spartans for the rest of their lives.

East Lansing City Life

East Lansing has a lot of attractions considering its small size. Grand River Ave has a lot of shops and restaurants that are accommodating to students both money and proximity wise. There is an annual jazz festival which offers culture into the area, and I feel very safe in East Lansing and surrounding cities and enjoy the easy transportation that the university and city provide. All in all, East Lansing is a wonderful host for Michigan state University.

Its All About the RA

Aside from major crime, the police and school officials are usually lenient. Underage drinking will usually get a warning the first or second time, with punishment potentially on the third. In the dorms its all about the RA, some are good, some are horrible. During football games police are even more forgiving than normal.

Its a Fun Campus

Michigan state is huge campus, however there's not much to do on campus (across the street, in east lansing is a different story). This creates an atmosphere where its easy to make friends in the dorms and around campus. The food is also quit nice and dorms themselves are constantly being renovated. Whiles its a shock at first, overtime living on campus becomes quite fun.

MSU Campus Housing

The dorms on MSU's campus are a great way to meet new people. Living in the dorms is convenient for most things, like some dorms house people of the same major, and a few dorms are situated around the athletic venues on campus. I feel that it's a lot cheaper to live in the dorms than in the apartments.

Campus Dining Is to Die for

The food options at Michigan State are amazing. There is so many dining halls you can go eat at, with each hall serving something different everyday. Food choices range from sushi, pizza, mexican, sandwiches, home cooked meal style, burgers, salad bar, pasta, even chinese! Theres so many choices that I never know what to pick, and of course everything always taste so good.

Michigan State University Is Beautiful

Michigan State University's campus is beautiful. There are plenty of arts and lots of outdoor recreation options. It's right next door to Lansing, so there is plenty of shopping. One cool event held in East Lansing is the Great Lakes Folk Festival. The food and music are fantastic! Most of the local folks are pretty nice to students because students spend money in the area.

Adjusting to Dorm Life

Living on campus was a great experience. The dorms were clean, decent sized, and safe. The cafeteria food was very good and there were always many options. There was always something to do on campus, whether it was intramural sports, going to see a movie, being involved in clubs, or religious groups. The social atmosphere was great, and it is very easy to meet people. Even though the campus was large, the busing made getting to class very easy and I would recommend getting a bus pass. I tried to schedule my classes close together so I could have them back-to-back.

Food and Dining Options of MSU

The food on campus is most likely the best food you will ever get from a cafeteria. There is a large array of options. And if you are a vegetarian or have special food requests due to religions there is always somewhere on campus where you can find a place that honors those requests.

Brody Hall

Brody Hall, in my perspective, is a great place to eat on campus. Their food variety is outstanding. From all of the money that was put into that specific cafe, ...They made a magnificent investment.

Decent Campus

The facilities at Michigan State are decent. There are fast food joints, good study areas, and the student union has a lot good bowling alley and billards facility.

Good Quality

Although sometimes the food can be get repetitve, Brody Square always has nutritious and different choices everyday. Options for all diet plans are included.

Top in Usa

A great university, considered to be among the Public Ivy League Schools .

Unique Things About MSU

I love my school because it give you plenty of resources. They are always willing to help you and give you extra tutoring for subjects you are having a hard time with. They have a lot of organizations and I love the school spirit here.

SPORTS/SCHOOL PRIDE

EVERY DAY THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS WEAR GREEN AND WHITE AND SUPPORT MSU. WE HAVE A LOT OF PRIDE FOR OUR SCHOOL AND SPORTS TEAMS.

Activities

There are so many things to do on campus and off campus. There are so many student organizations that you can get involved in and there is at least one that fits you. There are free movies on campus, advance screenings and free bowling nights and pool at the union. Overall, there is always something to do!

Inside Scoop

We do well academically and also are known for our sports teams and nightlife.

Making a Large School Small

Michigan state is a school of around 40,000 kids, it is a huge school. Within the University there are residential colleges such as James Madison and Lyman Briggs. These residential colleges take a large campus and make is smaller. You can always take a large school and make it small but you can never take a small school and make it large. The city of East Lansing is built around Michigan State and not through it which makes it nice. You never feel like your in a city but the city is there and has many social options.
