Quincy4 and others:

My son was offered the opportunity to do research and teach for a stipend his freshman year (among $, study abroad, honors). They have a lot to offer and with these extras he would be a stand out for graduate school or work resume. (ultimately turned it down for another school but was hard to forgo these great opportunities.) There are experiences to be had that are not available at the the small elite schools. MSU is state of the art in everything.
Any FYI, from experience, many majors do not matter where you get your degree from. Rocket scientist, yes, but Journalism, Nursing, etc will not make a difference. My advice, get some good placements/internships and you will all do fine! MSU has a great world-wide rep that will get you in many doors.
