Michigan State University Top Questions

The student body is diverse and very kind. The bonds that are among students, faculty, alumni etc. are very strong and open if anything is ever needed.

Okay

I think that MSU's population is quite diverse. Unfortnately, it is one of the most segregated campuses around. I do feel that students are able to find people that may pertain to their type of interests, but one has to go around looking for those. The majority of students come from suburban/metro detroit and from the east side of the state. There are differences amongst the students, probably based on class the most, but it isn't as clique-ish as it was in high school.

MSU sees a wide spread of student types. As long as you are friendly, you will always fit in.

student body is pretty stereotypical. not many individual people or much diversity.

The students at MSU are all pretty different. Most come from Michigan like myself, but so many come from out of state and internationally. My freshmen roommate was from South Korea! It's easy to adapt and make friends with similar interests as you because MSU is so large. The freshmen dorms are really good places to make friends as well because everyone is in the same boat as you, looking to make new friends.

most students are from michigan or illinois. mostly white, south complex especially. most blacks are in hubbard. brody has most of the asians and also a lot of blacks. the dorms are always trying to push gayness or bisexuality which is ridiculous. i don't notice gay people, but the residence halls seem to try to push everyone to be gay with all their propaganda. it's unfortunate and it embarrasses the school.

I have encountered a few racial experiences living in East Lansing. Black/African American students would feel the most out of place at MSU with the class ratio being 1 Af. Am. to every 50 White Am. Different types of students do interact some of the time, but it is not common. Four tables of students, one table with Af. Am. students sitting together, one table Asian Am., and the other two White Am. Most students' parent are financially well off.

MSU has a very diverse campus, but its only as diverse as you open yourself. if you are not willing to learn or interact with others of another race, religion, or socio-economic status, then you will hender yourself. one of the good things about MSU is that it prepares you for the real world because everyone is treated the same and its all a learning experience.

--Although I only participated in one of these sort of activities, they are really really encouraged and many people do participate. I dont think any student would feel out of place at MSU because they really try to make something for everyone. Only someone who was unwilling to take advanage of these options or to branch out would feel out of place. --Most students are from the detroit area. --I dont notice anyone taking about political things, btu thats because i chose not to

I have seen no racial problems and think that everyone can feel at home at MSU. There are a lot of different organizations so people can met others from their background. Most students dress pretty casually to class.

most of the people I met were live within a couple hours from campus, but I met people from Minnosota, Hawaii, Los Angelos, Chicago, and Sri Lanka too. This campus is pretty diverse, which I like a lot.

Again, a lot of this may have changed since my undergraduate years, but as a graduate student in the LIR program, there appears to be a good chemistry.

The students at Michigan State are diverse and appreciate a diverse population. Michigan State also promotes diverse clubs across campus and in the dormitories.

MSU's student body is pretty diverse and you see most of this where you live and in your classes. In my case where i lived there were many asians and black people, which sometimes made me feel out of place. But I know in other areas where white people are the dominant culture. Really you will see everything at Michigan State throughout your 4 years.

Undergrads vary from jock drunks to awesomely independent kids. The Grad student body is probably the most interesting group of kids I've come across.

MSU is the most culturally varied place I have been so far. It has broadened my knowledge of several other cultures, which I appreciate. Everybody fits in here, nobody should feel awkward about coming here because you WILL meet others with your interests. I am always excited to go to the first couple of days of class, wondering who I am going to meet. You can find every kind of person here, which is so great, if you are open minded enough to accept everyone and learn from them.

The student body at MSU is incredibly diverse. There are people from all over the world who speak many different languages. It is common to be listening to the people around you and hear at least two different languages being spoken.

not sure

MSU has an awesome student body. We're really diverse in many ways, but also very tolerant of others' lifestyles. I honestly don't think any student would feel out of place at MSU: we have so many different variations of people here, what's "normal" kind of fades out pretty quickly. Most students are from the state of Michigan, both we also have a HUGE international student population. MSU is definitely a liberal school (as most colleges are), but not so leftist that we're calling Michael Moore a neocon. We have several political organizations across campus for both right and left-leaning individuals, and all views (unless offensive or insulting) are accepted in class discussions and social settings.
