Michigan State University Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Michigan State University?

Blair

There is not a set type of person that you have to be to attend Michigan State. Being such a big school, we have more opportunities for people of all kinds to be themselves and also find out the person that they want to be.

Samantha

Anyone who is intimidated by a big school with a large amount of people should probably not consider attending MSU. Also, athletics and sporting events are a significant part of student life at Michigan State, so while an interest in sports isn't vital to attending MSU, it is definitely an added element to your experience as a student.

Jordan

I do not feel there is a particular type of person that would not fit in somewhere here. This is a very big university

Mary

The type of person who should or should not attend Michigan State University can not be exactly pinpointed. It depends on the individual's personality, the type of environment they were raised in, and their ability to adjust to change. It is difficult adjusting and getting acclimated to college life at any university. At MSU in particular, freshmen may feel largely intimidated by the large campus and number of students. However, I would encourage shyer/more reserved students to still consider attending MSU because it can provide them with a chance to step outside of their comfort zone.

Kelcie

A very shy, homebody should not attend this school. It is a vast campus, that can be made small, but maybe not small enough for a very shy person. Otherwise there is really no person who should not attend. You make your experience however you'd like it.

Holly

The kind of person that shouldn't attend this school is someone who is not into a large campus and walking long distances. MSU is one of the largests campus in the US so it can take a lot of time and energy to reach one side of campus to the other. People who like small classrooms and more attention from the instructors probably wouldn't benefit from MSU since many classes contain more than 100 students.

Alison

Someone that is not willing to put in an effort to achieve success should not attend MSU.

Ryan

Anyone who grew up a fan of the University of Michigan. Other than that, this school is great for just about everyone, as there are so many opportunities to go out and get involved and otherwise just have a great time. However, the campus is large, so I suggest to those who who prefer not to walk too far to class and refuse to buy a bus pass, this campus would not be for you.

Ashley

An outgoing and involved person would fit best in this school and find the opportunities to grow here. The more open-minded and driven person who wants to inspire and make a difference is the type of person that would find happiness here . Additionally though a person who has probably not lived in a big city or culturally diverse place would be more comfortable due to the general population economic and ethnic backgrounds.

Bethany

I think some one who wants a small school should not come Michigan State. The campuse it some what big but it is not huge. I also think some one who wants only small classes shouldn't go here. There are some small classes but most of your classes that you take in the first two years are large lecture hall classes.

Keenan

People that are not willing to work hard and devote a large amount of time to their academics should not attend Michigan State. No matter what class you take here, it will require a large amount of your time. Those who think they can not attend class, never do any work, not study for tests and exams and still succeed at Michigan State are out of luck. Someone with a poor attitude, poor time management, and lack of motivation, will not be a successful student at Michigan State University.

Lyndsay

Michigan State University has high expectations for their students. Therefore, one who is not dedicated and serious about achieving their dream profession should not attend this university. Also, one who is highly dependent on their parents and is not ready to live on their own as well as take care of themselves is not ready to attend Michigan State. Michigan State University is a very large campus and school as a whole, so if one does not feel comfortable in extensive lecture classes and navigating around such a broad campus should consider attending a smaller college or university.

Viktoria

A person who is easily influenced by the urge to drink and do drugs instead of go to class. At MSU it is easy to get lost in the party scene and forget why you came here in the first place. Before attending this school a person should really think about if they are ready to move onto higher education and if they are really focused on school at this point in their lives.

DeYuana

The type of person that should not attend Michigan State is a person who is not serious about school meaning that there not willing to give there all. This school is also a big top ten school with over 20,0000 students so if a person wants to go to a small school they should not apply here.

Alexa

If you are uncomfortable with walking at least 10 minutes to get anywhere on campus, then MSU isn't right for you. If studying abroad doesn't appeal to you, if you are not very interested in making new friends, if you can't appreciate the cold winter days, if taking a class on Human Sexuality taught by leading psychologist Dr. Breedlove doesn't seem intriguing and slightly amusing, and if you don't want to listen to students speak emphatically about their ideas and beliefs on the quad almost every week, then you shouldn't consider being a Spartan.

Brandon

I wouldn't recommend this school for someone who is not prepared to give the effort necessary to be academically succesful. I also would not recommend this school for those who are hesitant or somewhat shy when it comes to doing what is necessary to do well in school; whether it be approaching a professor during class or their office hours, finding a tutor for a difficult subject, or asking your peers for help, it is vitale that students be proactive in acquiring knowledge by using the resources they are given here.

Venus

I believe Michigan State University is a very challenging school. The type of people who shouldn?t attend this school would be the ones who aren?t serious about their future in education. It is not a school where you can attend and only expect to have fun. If you aren?t hard working, goal oriented, and consistent, Michigan State University would be a hard school to get through.

Brent

no one

Corey

A person who wants to be in small classes or a person who couldn't take a big campus.

Amanda

People who are introverted, this is a large university and you need to be able to get out and explore and create your own opportunities to meet and from new friendships .
