Michigan State University reverberates with Spartan pride, and it's easy to understand why. The school maintains "a beautiful campus," has "an insane amount of resources," and provides exciting research opportunities for students. It also offers a "fantastic honors college" along with very strong "agricultural...[and] STEM programs (especially [in] astronomy, animal science, and chemistry)." Labs, hands-on learning, and nontraditional classrooms are very popular with students, and a great example of this is the Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, which encourages students to solve real-world problems through action and innovation.
Though courses are described as demanding, undergrads assure us that help and support are readily available and the school is invested in student success. Many also stress that it's quite easy to "get help from peers and tutors." Inside the classroom, students find engaged professors who are "very passionate about their subjects" and truly endeavor to make their courses relevant and interesting. Nevertheless, students do speak highly of MSU's faculty. As one student enthuses, "I have not encountered a single individual in a teaching role at this university that has not blown me away with their respect and care for the students, their ability to teach, and their passion in their subjects." Another classmate concurs, adding that professors "are always willing to go the extra mile and make sure you understand the material to its full extent."
