What's the most frustrating thing about Michigan State University?

Brandi

Well, like most schools, homework and exams can be very frustrating. But, that being said, nothing of value comes easily. I personally like the walk to all my classes although I know several who complain about having to walk 25 minutes to get to class. I can see how, for some, that could be a little frustating, but for peope with that problem there is always a bus pass option. Other than that, I love everything about Michigan State University, and I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone!

Lauren

The most frustrating thing about my school is that they are so busy trying to cater to minorities that they forget about the students who are in the majority and we end up having more troubles than the minority students.

Tim

The apathy of a large portion of the student population. While the perception of MSU as a party school, among students, is greater than reality, MSU still possesses a large party-minded portion of its student body and these people reduce the quality of other students education. Beyond this many of the students in non-practical degree fields are not particularly motivated, possible a consequence of career field rather than university though, and this made the social science and communication arts schools (I am part of both) particularly lethargic at times.

Jonathan

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there are too many non-major, required classes to fully focus on a potential career.

Amanda

As you progress in your chosen degree field, the availabilty of courses and their scheduling times often make it difficult to have a job.

Angela

the college i'm trying to get into is very competitive so i constantly worry about if i will get in.

Alisha

The fact that there is not much to do outside of campus and that everything is pretty far away.

Becky

Being so large, you either need a bike, to bus it, or plan your classes carefully.

Samantha

I feel like the economy in East Lansing is so terrible that there is nothing to do here, so people drink . There is no relationship between community and students.

Cameron

Financial aid can be difficult to understand, but even that is a minor shortcoming, as there are always people at the financial aid office willing to help out if you're willing to ask. Overall, I find very little frustrating here.
