Michigan State University

Wow. Michigan State University. If you want to go to school where EVERYONE is from the boring state Michigan. This is a great place for you. First of all. Have fun paying for an overpriced poor education. I don't know if I hate the state of Michigan or the school more. For one, U of M is clearly the better school. I attended Michigan State my freshman year and heard how much U of M sucks. Reality check- most of the kids at state are the ones who didn't get into U of M. The other half are the kids who are happy they got into here because they couldn't get in anywhere else. Yeah there are some intelligent people here, but there are definitely some dull ones. Being an out-of-stater makes the experience here a lot different. For one, I met ZERO people from my area back home. Everyone I met showed me where they lived on there hand...cool. And why is campus so fucking big? Everything is so spaced out. If you have a class in Akers, have fun on a 45 minute walk to class. One thing I will say is the food is spectacular. As for other facts, student body isn't very attractive at all, the weather sucks, and people from Michigan are rude. Half of them say they are from Detroit when they live an hour from it. Why would you want to associate yourself with that city? Also, greek life is weak as hell. If you are from out of state, save some money and go somewhere with nicer weather.

Extracurricular Activities: A, Individual Value: F

Reflecting on my time at MSU, one of the aspects I have appreciated the most is the diversity of students on campus. I have been exposed to so many different viewpoints that I would never have appreciated had I attended a smaller, local school. I am so appreciative of the intellectual and emotional growth I have experienced simply by being around, and bonding with, so many people with entirely different backgrounds and ideologies than my own.I feel bad for my peers from high school who decided to attend local colleges primarily because it felt more comfortable at the time. Real growth comes from experiencing contrasting viewpoints and challenging your own worldview.

Education Quality: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: B

I think MSU really gave me everything I needed in a college but I also had to go out and search things out. It is all here but you have to be more of an active participant in your education.
