<p>This is just a small example of why I keep saying this program is highly underrated by some, and also why a program this internationally strong is why East Lansing such a vibrant cultural community.</p>

<p>My son applied to MSU a few weeks ago. Do students have the time to fit a music class or ensemble in if they are majoring in something completely different?</p>
<p>Yes. I’ve known many students who’ve taken music classes – played in ensembles from jazz to chamber – as electives even when taking a more demanding curriculum like pre-med or engineering. However, it’s up to the particular student to juggle her/his schedule to allow for it – there’s no one size fits all; but the opportunity exists.</p>
<p>Thanks! MSU is the only university my son is interested in so I am crossing my fingers and hoping he gets in.</p>
<p>Glad to help and best of luck to your son should MSU become his school. In addition to regular music opportunities in MSU’s excellent music school, of further interest to him may be the new Residential College in Arts & Humanities, a small (eventually 600-student) residential college where students will be able to live and take half their classes in one of the older dorms that’s currently being extensively renovated and expanded – your son would enter in the inaugural class should he opt for RCAH. Of note viz your inquiry is that, in addition to the many other liberal/fine artsy facilities being built into the expanded residence hall, there will be music practice rooms. Obviously this college is really interested in its residents/students to have a broad, well rounded experience. Check out the below link:</p>

<p>My son wants to get a b.s. in math and become a secondary school math teacher. Or maybe a college professor. I think he would make a great one. He is applying to Lyman Briggs. Everyone I know has kids applying to Lyman Briggs! That new res. college at MSU looks great. MSU had a lot of construction work going on when we visited this summer. I read something lately about how a lot of good math students are really into music.</p>
<p>Briggs is a great program. He’ll love it. In programs like Briggs, MSU really encourages well rounded kids.</p>
<p>Happy, happy day! My son received his letter today saying he was accepted into MSU!</p>
