Michigan State University Top Questions

The ability to do so many things. Sometimes time management is hard because you want to be apart of all the extra curriculars while still trying to focus on classes and studying.

The worst thing about Michigan State is the parking, and the rent for any housing. There is no where to park that is decently cheap on campus. Also, living anywhere even remotely close to campus you are paying 500+ a month.

The worst thing about my school is the ability to be felt like a small spec in a every so big world. My school is huge with multiple thousands of people, but yet I still am alone and have no real friends here. Most of the people I somewhat interact with are into drugs and alcohol and so I do not hang out with them outside of school. I have yet to find people to hang out with that do not use drugs or alcohol.

The worst things is that I had to graduate and leave.

Size Matters! I wouldnt say that it's a terrible thing about the school but I would say that it's something I wish I would have given more thought to. Thsi campus is huge and in the winter months it can make it very difficult to get from one class to the next in a timely manner.

The grading scale is very hard to deal with. Its quite inconsistent.

I would consider the transfer program to be the worst part of Michigan State University. While I am extremely happy at MSU, I had a very hard time actually transferring. I had a 3.49 GPA after my first year of college and a strong application, but MSU told me I didn't have a very specific math class, so I could not transfer. I took the class, but then the transfer councelor refused to return my calls. The situation ended up working out, but it would have been easier if not for the one transfer counseor.

Michigan State University has many interesting programs, a wide variety of activities to join, and great professors but, on the downside, the campus is enormous. I went to Hackett Catholic Central High School, a school of roughly 350 students a year, so the school was very small. I had trouble my first year at Hackett finding my classes, so getting around at Michigan State is going to be a challenge. There are thousands of students at Michigan State University, if they can do it so can I!

The worst thing about Michigan State University is the cost to attend, although its one of the greatest investments I am making, it can be overwhelming when federal financial aid doesnt cover the entire cost.

My only issue is knowing where things are. It's a big campus, so it's a little hard to get used to.

The worst thing about MSU would be the perceived reputation as a complete "party school". Despite MSU being one of the best schools in the world, it sometimes feels as though people don't take the education you are getting as serious. I was one of those people before I enrolled. The minute I stepped foot on campus, I realized. Instantly, the community; the surroundings of the university engulfed me and within a few moments I felt the Spartan sprit run freely through me. The only thing I wish is for more people to realize the same things I did.

I find this school to be fantastic. However, scheduling can be quite a hassle especially if you participate in school activities such as athletics or band. If it conflicts with your practice time, you cannot take the class and no exceptions are usually made which at times can be disappointing.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

The worst thing about school has to be not knowing anyone that can help me with important decisions towards my major, such as which classes are important to take even though they aren't part of my requirements? I have many more uestions that need to be answered.

The sheer size of the school definitely has a down side. Sometimes you feel lost in the thick of things. Even though there is a sense of community at Michigan State, it's hard to get more of that family feeling because it's so big.

That it is so big I won't get to explore and see every part of it.

I believe the worst thing at my university is the amount of people who do not care about their education present at the university. Michigan State is known as the "party school" of Michigan, and that is evident among the attitude of most of my freshman peers. They live to party, and this affects the education of everyone, even those, like myself, who attend Michigan State for an education. Most weekends, often starting on Wednesday of all nights, the girls in my dorm invite many of their friends over, causing much noise and making it difficult to study.

The worst thing about my school is all of the people who think if you have a "pulse" you get in or it is full of drunks. It makes me angry because every college has alcohol and when you single out the college I am attending it infuriates me because I worked very hard through high school to make it this far and I am not about to sit there and have people rag on my school.

It's a large campus so it takes a while to get to classes. You need to plan your classes accordingly so you have time to get from one building to the next.

The worst thing about Michigan State University is that it is so big of a school that it is easy to become just a number instead of being a valued student. The school is known as being a very large school, not just population wise but the campus is big as well, so with issues like finding help with class or getting involved with campus activitites can be hard. Also knowing where to go to get help or involved is an issue I struggled with my freshman year.
