  The size of Michigan State University “scares some people,” students tell us, but for those comfortable in crowds it’s “one of the strongest advantages. Where else do you cut through the Cereal Wing of the Human Nutrition Building to get to a Navigating the Universe class (a class on the parallels between art, philosophy, and physics)?” One student sees it this way: “The size of MSU makes it like training wheels for the real world. Every type of person, value, and belief is here, so you learn just as many street smarts as academic smarts, which is what sets it apart from so many other schools.” There are more than “200 majors to choose from” here, including “good engineering and science programs,” an “amazing communications program,” “the best political science program in Michigan,” “the only agriculture school in the state,” and “an absolutely amazing school of Hospitality Business.” Economies of scale also allow MSU to offer “great study-abroad programs,” “a lot of helpful free tutoring in math and other subjects,” and “great Web programs that make it very easy to download class materials and view assignments. You can also e-mail the whole class questions or just your professor, through our Angel system.” As far as possible downsides to the school’s size, MSU students find you have to “fend for yourself.” That means potential peril for students who aren’t self-motivated. One undergrad explains, “There are two roads you can follow when at MSU. You can study hard and earn a degree in a reputable, challenging setting; or you can soak your brain cells with alcohol instead of academia.”
