Intro!
Campus
GO GREEN! Hello everyone! My name is Meagan and I will be your tour guide for Michigan State University! For most of my freshman year I was undecided but now I am an advertising management major. I came to MSU because I loved how big it is (over 50,000 students!) and how diverse it is! I hope you enjoy this tour!
00:03:03
Dorm room tour
Dorms
This is my dorm room! I live in a suite style which means you would have one roommate and share a bathroom with your two suite mates. Then there is also community style which means you just have your roommate and you share a large bathroom with your entire hall and that gets cleaned on the daily. When signing up for housing they will inform you on which dorms have which style.

How to find your roommate!
Dorms
I found my roommate freshmen year through Roomsync on Facebook! It was extremely helpful and was kind of like a dating website where it would give you suggestions on who you would mesh well with. It ended up working great for me and I would suggest this rather than going in blind.

What the professors are like
Academics
The student faculty ratio is 16:1 at MSU. I have been very impressed with how much the professors here really care about their students and want them to succeed. They love it when students email them questions and come to their office hours because it means they want to learn. Some advice, definitely take advantage of their office hours because it can only benefit you.
00:02:39
The meal plan
Food
We have unlimited meal plans! There is a silver, gold, and platinum meal plan for students who live on campus. Silver is the cheapest and just has unlimited swipes. Gold has additional swipes for guest passes. Platinum has additional swipes for guest passes as well as money on it that can be used like a credit card.
00:01:55
Academic building: wells hall
Academics
This one of our academic buildings called Wells Hall. It serves mainly as a mathematical building but also contains other classes like communication. It includes a Starbucks which is very popular considering it is in the middle of campus. Also it has a really good resource called the Math Help Center, where students can go and receive free tutoring for their math class.
00:01:43
Sports: basketball, football, hockey & intramural
Football, Basketball, and Hockey are the most popular at MSU. If you have any love for sports you will love MSU because Spartans really go all out. And if you ever want to just play sports for fun you can always join a intramural team and compete against other teams! They have all kinds of sports.
00:02:41
Sparty's market
Food
Sparty's is one of the most attractive things about MSU, strategically located all over campus! It kind of acts like a gas station market where there is a ton of snacks but also necessary things you would need. And all students containing the unlimited meal pass (students who live on campus) get to have free combos 6 out of the 7 days a week! A combo is 3 items that you can take out of Spartys for free!
00:01:39
Sparty statue & the river
Campus
Sorry that you can't really see the statue because it looks so far away on a GoPro but hopefully the street view will help! All Spartans are very proud with their statue and as you can see people are very protective over it guarding it days before we play our rival school in football. Also MSU has a very beautiful river, Red Cedar, that flows through the center of Campus!
00:01:17
Sports: soccer, softball, baseball
Campus
Other than football, basketball, and hockey, all other sports are free to attend for MSU students! Say you and your friends can't come up with something to do one afternoon, just head over to the baseball field!
