Michigan State University Top Questions

Sometimes stereotypes are true. Afterall, they do root from some truth. I will admit that Msu Studes do liek to have fun but everyone (at least in my section of MSU) they buckle down when necessary and get their work done. Msu is what you want it to be, if you want to go out and have fun you can but plenty of people stay in and get work done.

To a certain extent. I think that any school is a party school but you just have to have the right balance between partying and getting your work done.

no, Reality is that it isnt okay you get nothing but being behind

Definitely not. This campus has become renound for its partying antics and rioting lifestyle back in the early 90's. However, MSU and its students are proud to be apart of this community and we take pride in all of our sporting programs, including enjoying the success of our fellow Big Ten school, the University of Michigan.

NO I don't think so. I am an international student from Mumbai, and I could have chosen any other college in the US and still I chose MSU because it is a good college with great faculty and a diverse student body.

If you're looking for a drinking or partying school, you'll find your fair share of it, but there are plenty of other things to do on any given night. As far as MSU being second rate to UofM, I personally know a number of students who chose MSU after being accepted into UofM for a number of new and upcoming programs, or to be a part of the research programs at State.

-no, except the one about cute girls

we do party a lot, not everyone is a UofM reject, and most of the classes are somewhat challenging so you most definitely have to go to class

Yes, generally speaking. However, most students graduate in 5 years because the university has such strict requirements in each college. If you switch majors, and especially if you switch colleges within the university, you are likely to need an extra year of school.

NO!!!!!!!!!!! Michigan State is and Amazing university, with amazing people. and while we were originally a agricultural specializing school, we have broadend our range of expertise.

they are exaggerated.

Not exactly. Although MSU has a lot of parties, not everyone is a partier.

Only sometimes. The school does have a lot of partying so there's always some place to go, but there are so many people that theres always a scene you can fit into. The riots are nothing like they were in years past.

for some of our campus, yes, but not for everyone

Absolutely.

No

if you want to party, you'll always find one, but if you want to get some work done, you can get a solid degree.

MSU is just like any other big university. It's very into its sports, and students like to have fun. However, there is a very educational side to MSU that a lot of people look over. Although MSU students know how to have a good time, they also know when its time to really concentrate and study hard.

NO, the student population is fantastic and everyone is really nice! Yes, there are a ton of parties, but there are plenty of activities to do if partying is not your thing. Plus, other students, teachers, and ta's are always willing to help at anytime.

There are many people in the Greek System (and most of them do wear beer shirts, North Faces and leggings), but the majority of students are not part of this system. There have been riots in the recent past at MSU, but again, for the most part, students tend to shy away from getting maced by the police. Almost everyone I know studies to some extent. In fact, the library is always busy and people are often seen reading text books before the class begins.
