Michigan State University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Michigan State University accurate?

Renee

No, yes the school has many students but it is a great opportunity to meet new people that will be friends for life Yes it is a party school, but most students have a good balance between school work and fun

Leslie

No.

Charlie

Yes, I have been a witness to these accusations.

Ashley

If you choose to go down that path they can be. I've seen my share of people who party every night, thus fail out of school. But thats a very low percent of the total MSU population. The University offers many other things to do besides partying on the weekends and during the week, varying from free movies to free pool and bowling, concerts, craft night, and other various activities that the UAB sets up.

Allison

Yes and no. People like to have a good time at MSU and definitely know how to party, but that's not all we do at MSU! Most people take their academics very seriously. I'm proud of MSU and my fellow Spartans because most of us are extremely well rounded. We can have fun while still taking academics seriously, and taking pride in our athletics as well.

Dan

Extremely

Ang

Yes, but as with any college there are parties. There are a lot of responsible students too, but there a lot of different options!

Erin

Yes, for the most part.

Ashley

Not in the least, every school has a few students who party all the time, but MSU is no different from any other prestigous college. Many of the students who do party at MSU are not even students of the college. They leave thier own schools to come and trash mine. It's ridiculous, because now the collge that I have to graduate from has the the bad rep, especially after the infamous "Cedar Fest."

MSU is not a party school, many students focus on their studies. Many belong to the multipe colleges within campus, proving their dedication to school work. There are many students that are higher income, predominantly white, but there is also many minorities and people on the lower end of the income scale, who thrive in MSU's academia.
