Most of the big parties are Greek (of course). There are other parties like those on farmers street, 12th street, campus suites, and the oven. Most weekend I just sit around with a dozen or so friends and drink.
It's a great school for the price. Most of the faculty members are great. Most of the people are nice. The dorms are constantly hosting something.Tl;dr: It's a great school. Not to many parties though.
The campus is pretty, but don't pick this school because it is pretty. Yes, it does make one feel better seeing flowers everywhere. But one should not base their selection of a college education on how pretty a campus looks.
The nightlife and party scene is undoubtably among the least attractive in the nation. Imagine a 20 minute drive to purchase beer or a 40 minute drive to the nearest liquor store. Imagine. There are a handful of 'restaraunts' in town that serve alcohol, but according to city laws have closed in patios with walls surrounding them and are unable to serve any beverages after midnight. Yes, all of the places to buy a drink in town close at midnight.
The layout of the campus is good and bad. You can walk everywhere on campus, a good thing. If you live off campus, you have to hike some to get to campus.
If I had the chance to go back and choose another college, knowing what I do about this one, I would choose anywhere else in a heartbeat. One of the main reasons exclusively is the curriculum and roadblocks of my major. MSU offers small class sizes which were inadequate to hold the students trying to get into class. For my major, at least, I have had to wait for 3 or 4 classes that are only offered half of the year and the other half of the year I could not fit into the small class size. Most upper level classes that are full only offer 1 section of class. If I were attending a larger school, which offered many more opportunities to take classes, I would not be stuck spending an extra year at this school.
MSU is a comparatively cheap school. My opinion, you get what you pay for: a close minded, conservative, middle of nowhere, expect delays, unhelpful, frustrating, clean, pretty, and quiet town education.If you choose to come here, befriend an upperclassman in your major and consult your advisor immediately so that you can graduate ASAP. And don't let Sparks Hall give you any bullshit, ever.
