Product Description
College guides written by students for students.

Michigan State University Students Tell It Like It Is

"Varsity sports are huge on this campus. If you don't like sports, you'll be a minority here."

But if you are thinking about Michigan State, then you are probably well acquainted with its athletic tradition. You may even know who Johnny Spirit is.

But do you know about painting the rock?

How about AllMSU an online interaction site for MSU students to hook up, rate professors, or sell books?

The student author warns that the cafeteria is not that bad as long as your expectations aren't high.

One student says this:

"On campus food? It sucks! No other comment is necessary."

But other sections get higher ratings. Here's what one student had to say about nightlife:

"Awesome! You're not a Spartan if you go to MSU without partying. The good spots: Triangle Fraternity, Rick's, Riv's heck, all bars are great and awesome."

So maybe you didn't know it all. There's so much more to a school than a brochure or a campus tour can show you. Buy the College Prowler guidebook, and feel like an insider before you ever set foot on the campus!

Find out if MSU has something for you, straight from the students' mouths.

Visiting campus isn't enough.

Read our Michigan State University insider's guide and discover what it feels like to be on campus for 4 years.

Discover if MSU is Right For You.

4 out of 5 stars Great to get the inside perspective!   November 3, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

While helping my son select & apply for colleges last year, we purchased this book as well as the companion volumes for U of Michigan and a few other schools.

After reading pages and pages of promotional material written by the universities themselves, it was great to see a more independent student's eye view.

Two aspects of these books that were surprising, but helpful. First, the books include many collections of direct quotes from students expressing their opinions on various aspects of the school. They are printed together verbatim. The comments are sometimes conflicting, which seems to reflect the "real world" aspects of selecting a school. As a simple example, the section on dorms and dorm foods includes quotes ranging from specific comments about individual dining halls pluses and minuses, to broad statements that the food is awful, to others with more favorable assessments. This seems to be a faithful reproduction of what you'd get if you asked the students yourself.

Second, it was interesting to read the books for 2 schools "side by side". When comparing MSU and U of M, it became clear how many aspects these two large Big Ten schools have in common - probably more than they differ.

Since my son has only been on campus at MSU for a few months, it may be too soon to say whether all the details are up to date, but overall the book's description of the school seems accurate. Meanwhile, the related volume on U of M appears to be up to date; we are residents of Ann Arbor and so are familiar with at least many of the townie related details.

I would recommend this book, as well as others in the series, highly for those in the undergrad college selection process. They provide a great counterpoint to the materials sent by the colleges themselves.
