    Michigan State is a world-renown university. It has some of the most prestigious programs, colleges and professors in the world. For example, The Eli Broad College of Business is consistently ranked in the top 100 business schools in the nation. In addition to that, the Supply-Chain Management degree is ranked as the BEST program, of it's kind, in the country!! Harvard ranks second!

    Although Michigan State is constantly compared to its old-time rival University of Michigan, MSU holds the same academic profile! There is no difference amongst the two universities except that our basketball team is absolutely amazing! read full review

    State is a perfect example of a Big-Ten school right in the middle of in a college town. Many students have season tickets to both football and basketball games, which I personally suggest getting, because game time allows fellow Spartans to come together. There is also lots to do in downtown East Lansing-including shops, places to eat, a theater, and mall. The Greek system isn't super huge, but I've seen and met a fair share of those who have decided to go Greek. I've also met a lot of really great people!! read full review
