“My son accepted. We are from Maryland, and this is one of his top two choices. He was also accepted to Western Michigan and Grand Valley State. Can anyone shed light on comparison among these three universities? Is MSU worth twice the price? The gorgeous library at Grand Valley is tugging at our hearts.”

@“Shrimp&Grits2472” Grand Valley and Western Michigan are good schools, but with more state and regional reputations. MSU’s rep is national/international – several international college rating services rate MSU among the top 100 universities in the world and this is reflected in MSU’s student body which has one of the USA’s the largest non-American student component. Michigan State is also a more powerful research university as well. GVSU has been growing exponentially in recent years with a lot of big new modern buildings, esp with DeVos/Amway money, but it’s a long way from reaching MSU’s level.
