Everything here is amazing! The only issue is that they will cut wifi off at inconveniencing times when your trying to stay up late to work on essays to "update the wifi connection" but other than that it's solid here.

MSU is the best school in the world and allows for each and every student to shine in their own way. Also the dining halls are wonderful and you will make the best of friends.

If you have the chance of picking up another place, ask yourself a favor and go somewhere else. This school/professors and students suck. I'll regret for life going to this university.

Honestly this is probably true about every college now but its pathetic, how far these colleges and places of education have fallen from the path of nurturing the young generations dream, they prioritize profits and do everything to make it impossible to complain or get a meaningful change. Youll leave with nothing but debt
Overall 1.4
The faculty and administration don't care about the students. Parking is atrocious. The expectations (social and academic) of MSU students are unattainable and if you don't live up to them you are made to feel like you don't fit into the school.
