    It is a bit expensive to go here but you really pay for the experience over everything. The experiences you get here and ones you will not get anywhere else.

    All college is pricey. Michigan State is one of those schools that's in the middle in terms of a lot of other Universities available in the state. It's not super high but it's also not super the low. The price you pay is totally worth it though in the long run, for the education you are receiving and the experiences to be had.

    Best money I ever spent. By graduating you are joining literally hundreds of thousands of alumni which has helped me in job hunts after graduation.

    I LOVE Michigan State University and could not imagine myself being anywhere else! The people are so friendly and the overall atmosphere at this school is a sense of pride and happiness to be there. I have not heard one student here at State say they have not enjoyed their time here.
