What is the stereotype of students at Michigan State University?

Adrienne

I think MSU students are depicted as these huge partiers who go completely crazy at parties and burn couches at every party.

Mike

That MSU is strictly a party school, and that we are all a bunch of farmers or golf course managers and that it is apparently easy to get in.

Rachel

That we drink a lot, go out to parties/the bar a lot. That we have lower grades than U of M students, that MSU is not as good as U of M.

Tate

MSU students are generally stereotyped as being those too stupid to get into a better college, like U of M, or Ivy League. This demographic breaks down into two main components: mainly students in the greek system who's rich parents shuffle them off to a party college to get them out of the house, and similarly mediocre middle class students who go to college to avoid a job at McDonalds, choosing MSU because they want to get a degree while simultaneously getting stupid drunk all the time.

Crystal

That MSU is a hardcore party school that likes to riot and burn couches.

Erin

There is a well known stereotype that all MSU students do is party and drink. In fact there is a joke that all MSU students minor in drinking.

Casey

Can't read can't write, smoke green snort white

Michael

That we are a huge party school. That we riot. That we do not have smart students (as proposed by UofM). To have a social life you must be in a frat.
