"When I was choosing a college, I applied to and toured dozens of schools looking. When I stepped on to Michigan State's campus, I just felt something internally that made me realize maybe I did belong here. The vibes of campus, the level of education, and the supportive feeling were all things that kept me here through graduation. My biggest regret is not staying longer!"

"MSU was an incredible school. It has a very large network in the U.S. and abroad, and alumni + professors are always willing to help current students and graduates with any academic or professional experience. My particular major/college probably has some of the most brilliant professors and researchers who provided a foundational knowledge for my particular area of study. Employment opportunities during undergraduate are available and the school works with you to ensure that you can have the best fitting opportunities for your short-term and long-term goals. I also appreciated the study abroad program which made it possible for me to be abroad in multiple countries during my four years. Definitely recommend!"

"Michigan State University gave meaning to my career goals. Even as an international student without funding, I completed my program without a single debt. I have great mentors who only cared about how I could achieve my goals and reach beyond my desired heights. All through my years at MSU, racism was only a thing I heard on the news. I felt welcome in my classrooms and among my professors, and I received the best support, up to the point of getting my job and negotiating my first salary after graduation."

"Michigan State is a phenomenal place to really come into your own. With opportunities for every hobby, sport, academic, etc. this campus really offers everything for those that are up for taking advantage of them. I met some of my best friends here and will forever be thankful for this place."

"MSU was honestly the place that pushed me without taking itself too seriously. Big campus energy but still feels like you can find where you belong. Real hands on stuff, real people, and professors who actually challenge you instead of talking at you. MSU gives you room to experiment, take risks, and actually make stuff happen. It’s not just classes, it’s where you start figuring out what you can actually do."

"Michigan State University is as great of an experience as you choose to make it. The campus is large and beautiful, the student body is huge, and the number of majors for you to choose from is immense. You are sure to find some field of study that piques your interest and I am sure you can find a good group of friends if you attend the clubs that fit with your interests."

"DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!! They have completely changed the curriculum and they DO NOT TEACH!!!! They have tried to copy other schools that are using "flipped" curriculums, but they have done very little preparation! They just implemented the new curriculum in Fall of 2018 and it is a COMPLETE DISASTER!!!! They do not teach the material, they are completely unorganized, and they constantly apologize and tell the students to "be patient" because they are just learning how to teach this way! Most of my classmates are completely fed up, frustrated, angry, and depressed. They do not do anything with our feedback. They have hired a person to oversee the new curriculum and she has never been to vet or medical school and does not know what she is doing! Do yourself a favor and find another school to go to, or you WILL be sorry."

"MSU is a terrific institution with a spirited student body and boundless resources. In my study of History, I encountered some of the most dedicated teaching faculty in my higher education career. They were certainly dedicated to their research, but also to the success and progress of their students. While the university is quite large, I found a home in my college and my degree program. It made my community feel smaller and allowed me to build personal and professional connections more easily. MSU's student services are above average, and readily available for those students who are proactive and seeking help. The students are friendly, and the local community is supportive."

"My years at MSU we're some of my favorite to date. I was blessed with smaller classes due to the size of my program and my teachers were knowledgeable and patient. I was able to participate in a study abroad program to China that changed the course of my future."

"Your program produces "techs" of limited community college "degrees" . You send your "interns" to larger clinics, soon to be corporate. Of course, they are wooed by these clinics, promising all kinds of experience. In reality, those of us who have introduced young people to the honored profession on the promise that they will work after graduation are the losers in this game. We spent two years arranging staff scheduling around your unorganized, hectic, never out on time scheduling. Students arrived tearful almost daily. Despite that, they are "flattered" by offers. We pay four dollars per hour for PART TIME techs than the last student you graduated was offered at a full time clinic. We understand your job; sell this community college paper to make your own living. Shame on you."

"Overall, I enjoyed my time at Michigan State University. From the freshman orientation to graduation, it was an experience that can never be taken away or imitiated. The experiences with all the on campus events especially during home football games were wonderful. Spartan for life. Class of 2006."

"I went to Michigan State University and graduated with a Kinesiology major and a minor in Health Promotion. This major allowed to refine my lecture size and provide more one on one time with my professors, while attending one of the largest universities. After choosing a Kinesiology major, it is even a requirement to decide on a minor, which helps promote a more rounded education, increasing my chances of success post graduation. As I have gone on to further my education with a Master's in Orthotics and Prosthetics, the broad spectrum of health related classes has given students a wide spectrum of professions to plan to prepare for. It provided the large campus, yet intimate class size that I desired for my college experience."

"Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine is a great place to receive medical training. The professors are extremely knowledgeable and personable. You get a lot of hands on experience and they go out of their way to prepare you for a residency program. The school offers a lot of different financial aid opportunities as well as help with academic concerns as well."

"Packaging is an evolving field of study that impacts numerous industries. The Master of Science program is well suited for preparing individuals with the educational and business acumen to be successful in various career fields. During my time I completed two internships and a study abroad program which complemented the course material. The faculty stays current with the changing industry climate and adjusts the course material appropriately."
