MSU has many great bike paths from what I hear, if you like to get around that way. That’s something in direct contrast with that other state school in Ann Arbor.

Yes, it’s a big party school, but it’s a classier sort of party school from the accounts I’ve heard than other state schools. MSU is one of the ten biggest schools in the nation (something like 50k students) so the classes are huge, but there are also many resources available to you. East Lansing is nice and not far from the state capital if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

As far as prestige goes, there’s a running joke in Michigan that goes, “What do a U of M grad and an MSU have in common? They both got into State.” That said, it’s largely nonsense and Michigan State is one of the best public schools in the nation.
