Campus Life:
It’s amazing. There are lots of clubs from sports to art to just meet and greet. There are so many platforms to socialize and meet new people .
Hostel:

- There are only a handful of universities that offer programs starting in spring which is what I was looking for. With that experience and criteria, I was able to shortlist 3 universities – University of Illinois Chicago, University of Connecticut and Michigan State University. After this it was another easy choice because MSU offered a 12-month program while the other programs lasted for at least 18 months. Also given the fact that Michigan has way smaller number of Indians than the other states it gave me an opportunity to get better exposure while interacting with people from other countries. I really knew what I had to do, and I chose MSU.,
- The best part about MSU is that there is much more diversity than other schools. Especially if you are an Indian looking for exposure, this is a good place to be. Over the last couple of years, the influx of grad students has grown exponentially that almost all the big states are flooded with Indians. MSU offers a much diverse population among students and staff, which is great to gain exposure and push your limits.
- Dislikes:
- "If I had to mention one thing, it's the weather. Not to blame the university for this, but it gets extremely cold in winters and the weather persists like that for around 5 months. Another thing that I would improve about MSU is campus security. I encountered a shooting event in the very second month. That event got me terrified for a week!"
Campus Life:
MSU is one of the biggest land grant universities in the US meaning it is a very big university spread across the town of East Lansing. The infrastructure is top class with great Wi-Fi connectivity over the campus and dining halls for the students. The library resources and the academic buildings are equipped with latest technology that makes teaching and learning processes better. I always prefer to work in the academic buildings by reserving a room for myself rather than staying home because it at least motivates me to work over the day. On the other hand I can't really comment on the extracurricular life and the college life because like I mentioned it's a 12 month program and I barely have time for completing my academic work however I do try to squeeze in small events like student tie dye events coffee hours and meetups. The university also has a very big recreational center with facilities of basketball badminton swimming and other sports which are very well utilized by the students and the faculty of the university.
Hostel:
There are accommodation facilities on campus but for grad students especially people for coming from outside the country may not be affordable. But Michigan is state with very low living cost. In fact the edible groceries are non-taxable. There are good apartment communities within the five kilometer radius of the campus with great bus connectivity to commute to campus every day. These communities are increasing their rents every year but still the monthly expenses including utilities and groceries will be down to a $700 if one lives with a calculated lifestyle. And this expenses can be dealt with very easily if we can secure a part time job on campus. Another good thing about MSU is that it has a lot of on campus part time jobs and they are easily accessible to students.

- It is a good university with an affordable tuition and I like the cold weather in Michigan. They also have top notch faculty.
Campus Life:
The campus is very lively. It has more than 800 on campus clubs which really keep you intrigued. There are many gyms which are at accessible locations.
Hostel:
Two people share one room and I like them. A roommate is necessary so that you don't feel alone during your first year of college.
Hostel:
There are many options for living on-campus or off campus. There are dining facilities for on-campus living (the cost comes to around $700 per month excluding food). A cheaper option is to live off campus, where you can find 2-4 sharing bedrooms, depending on your needs. This will cost you around $400-$700 per month.
The university has a variety of research tools available, which interested me. It also has really good global support that gives you the opportunity to network around the world.
Hostel:
Accomodation facility is great I had a dorm and I share it with one person all the necessary things are there and I prefer the dining halls for food it cost about 3000$ / semester ad there are 10 dining halls in campus so you can have access to anyone which is close to your class and it is a good facility
Michigan State University is among the top 3 vet schools of the world and I am a vet med major so it is a privilege for me to be a part of this institute
Hostel:
Currently, I am taking online classes for the fall semester in my home country due to the pandemic situation.
The course is rigorous, including campus facilities, research opportunities, location, scholarship, program ranking.

I lived on campus in Akers Dorm & loved it. I lived in a quad which was great and the cafeteria was downstairs & had a ton of great options. My meal plan was expensive but very convenient and was unlimited food + a combo exchange.
I knew that I wanted to go to a college in-state and an MSU was the leading college in business that really caught my eye. It was the perfect distance away from my house which was about an hour and that was great because I could easily get home if I needed to but I wasn't so close that my parents could come up any day or that I felt that I'd be going home too often. On top of that when I visited the campus it was amazing I really loved how everything was so tied in together and so large at the same time. I really felt at home and I really solidified that when I got there. I can go running or for a walk anywhere on campus and it feels like I?m just outside enjoying nature there?s a bunch of trees alongside a bunch of beautiful buildings.
This college was very close to my home. My siblings went here. Additionally, it offered the program I wanted. Finally, a lot of my friends were also attending school.
The campus is the prettiest in the state. As well as the program I wanted was very competitive and has been accredited for over ten years. It was close enough to home but also far enough from home that I can live away from it.
In-state tuition made it cheaper than my other options. The reputable name was also a factor and close to home. Other options were much more expensive and out of state which factored into much higher costs and loans. Therefore, I chose this university.
