“Coming to MSU has been a great experience.Quite BrightAnthropology
Coming to MSU has been a great experience. I was always very shy and timid, but MSU has really helped me get out of my shell. The programs at MSU are phenomenal, some of the best in the nation and even world. The campus is beautiful. There's always parties, activities or something to do at night. The sporting events are great. There's a ton of little shops and restaurants that are all very close to campus. Most of the students are very friendly and nice. I've had some crappy professors and I've also had some very great professors. Yes, the coursework is challenging, and yes, you must study hard and often or you will not do well in most courses. That is to be expected at any large university. I would recommend MSU to anyone.

“I get good grades in ECE classes simplySuper BrilliantElectrical Engineering
I get good grades in ECE classes simply by doing the work and studying for exams. I was expecting an electrical engineering curriculum to be much more challenging. Some classes can be 4.0ed merely with rote memorization of practice exams or homework problems. The department does not particularly encourage a deep sense of understanding. Conversely, there are some very challenging courses throughout. You can quickly and accurately gauge another student's intelligence by asking for his (and I say 'his' because there are maybe 20 males for each female in the program) grade in ECE320. The department is ABET-accredited, and there are some quite excellent professors.After three years in the program, I'm not quite sure that I'd be ready and/or qualified for a full-time position, and I don't think another year will change that feeling. I somewhat wish I'd had the 'rip-your-hair-out' EE experience one gets at, say, UMich, for its rigor and emphasis on understanding, but I do not regret enrolling in MSU's EE program. The overall atmosphere of the university pretty much mitigates the issues I discussed above.

“I only applied to Michigan State and oneQuite BrightPreMed and Medical
I only applied to Michigan State and one other school. I had never visited Michigan State before, so when my other application was rejected I had no idea what to expect here at MSU. Now that I have been here for a few months, I can say that it is a very welcoming environment despite having such a large campus, the academics are challenging, and the teachers are approachable.
