Michigan State University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Michigan State University? Why?

Kenyetta

It doesnt have as many resources for job placement as some of the smaller schools.

Taylor

The worst thing about Michigan State is how expensive it can be. College is going to cost money, anywhere you attend. But attending a Big Ten school can be a bit pricey. As tuition continues to rise its going to become even harder to make ends meet. It's frustrating to be in a place you love so much, and to be experiencing so many great things, being exposed to great professors and classes, all the while having to worry about how you're going to pay for everything. Money complicates things.

The worst thing about my school is the bus system. .At Michigan State, the buses do not run as regularly as the buses do where I am from. There are some buses that come every 7-10 minutes which is not bad. However, there are some buses that come every 20 minutes. During the winter, many people take the buses and as a result the buses are usually crowded. If you are in the back of a long line waiting to get on the bus, you may not be able to board the bus and you have to wait longer.

big, so many people here

Bethany

There is really nothing I concider bad about my school.

Jenifer

The worst thing about my school is that it gets so cold here and you to be out in the freezing cold and snow. When you see six inches of snow it really discourages you from wanting to go to class.

Kristine

The worst thing about MSU would be, from my experience, the grading from the professors and TA's. Most grade extremely tough and don't take the students views or interpretations into consideration. From my prospective, all they care about sometimes is the fact that they are getting paid. They are good about office hours and one-on-one, but they care about themselves and don't take all the students needs into consideration.

Laura

If you want help for anything, such as advising or career replacement, you need to seek it out yourself. All of the resources are there, but no one is going to hand it to you. You need to do the work and research for that sort of thing.

Viktoria

The worst thing about my school is the lack of culture intigration. I feel that alot of the people that attend this school are exactly they same. They wear the same cloths, grew up in the same suburbs, and attended the same highschools. This not only gives them an advantage to those who grew up in less fortunate surroundings, but it also keeps them in the majority posision that they held in their formative years. I feel this is an injustice for the majority because it is not a very good example of the real world.

Susan

The worst thing about my school would be the expense of the education. In addition to college tuition students will be buying books, bus passes, dorm decorations, parking, and all sorts of other expenses not included in the tuition. College is expensive to attend for many families these days, I feel their woes. After my graduation I will have to face my student loans and it won?t be pretty. I recommend to all high school seniors to start applying for scholarships early and really work on doing as many as you can.

Jeremiah

The size of classes makes it hard to make a connection with the professor and other students. However, with this number of students this is unavoidable.

Elizabeth

The worst thing about Michigan State University is that tuition isn't free. Making a long story short, my school is the perfect place to learn. Being such a diverse environment, this campus is a breeding ground for intellual stimuli. The right people, in the right place, with bountiful resources and opportunites. Everything is not perfect, just as anyone other place, yet here the students and professors are more willing to get involed and help each other. The sense of community is remarkable as well as memorable, something much needed in the economically stressed atmosphere in Michigan.

Tim

The size. MSU is such a large and diverse unversity that it is easy to feel out of place and disconnected. As someone who is not particularly social this lead to lonliness and even depression at times. The size is managable when the university is considered as a compilation of multiple colleges but most of these are not residential schools and so there is little connection between students.

Samantha

The worst thing about my school is its size. Finding help on such a large campus is very intimidating. Many classes are large and professors are not going to spot you in a crowd. The size of the school gives many opportunities yet you have to search to find one that will fit your specific needs.

Victoria

The worst thing about school is the large lecture halls. I feel like I am just a number and I never raise my hand to ask a question because I feel i will make the other 400 people in the classroom mad. I also do not like walking across campus. The first week of school my legs hurt so bad I did not want to move. I did fix that by buying A bus pass.

Vanessa

All the drinking and weekend parties. They never end well and people get hurt and mistreated.

Venus

The worst thing about Michigan State University would be how much it cost to be a on-campus student. It's getting closer to $20,000 a year, each year. When you are a student who does not get a lot of financial aid, you start to worry more about the price of education more than the education iteself. It's even harder when you have siblings who attend the same school.

Brent

nothing

Veronica

I think thay the city of East Lansing is too boring and not exciting in anyway. I wish that it was in a bigger area, with more things to do. Also campus is pretty big and buses are a little odd. Some of the teachers suck, and they should be taken care of. The language program should be improved.
