(continued)

Let me just say to whatever cocksucking pansy wrote this review that he has no fucking idea what he is talking about. Drugs, alcohol, sex, and violence, in a beautiful campus setting, makes for pretty damn good education in my book. I am sorry that we aren't some liberal art school where the biggest problems facing male students is how to come out to our roommate and convince him to let us go down on him. Or maybe some west coast, hippie, save the fucking whales, follow phish, do-gooders that want to complain about this country all day instead of doing something about it. Let me tell you something; Every Spartan I know is better suited for the real world because they had a social life AND finished their degree. So when it comes time to have a drink with the boss and maybe score points, a Spartan might be able to talk about more than the oppression of little tribal island that nobody gives a fuck about. Furthermore the arrest statistics should take into effect the size of MSU (45,000 students), but that doesn't matter. Know why? SPARTANS LIKE TO GET ARRESTED!!!! It is a rite of passage! The 3rd best Halloween party at MSU every year is in the East Lansing Jail. As for drugs? This is fucking college! I did enough drugs to kill an entire tribal island during college. Screw you! Bitches like fucking on ecstasy, and we help them do that. And I don't care what you say..... Nothing is sexier than a coked up, drunk sorority slut. So who is the best? Michigan? Michigan girls drive to State to get fucked in the ass on a daily basis. Oh and by the way.... I have been to jail, for a while. So when I find who you I am going to fuck you in the ass. I hope you are a guy. Stay the fuck out of East Lansing.

Wow...Jmat, why so angry?? You make me so proud of our generation.
P.S. I loved you on Dateline Predator!

i hope michigan state ain't the worst school in tha big ten

an it aint cause msu got tha bull bone an nobudy else do cuz bull bone 9 inchr.

you are right on about that shit-hole of a university. I am from E.L. and the students just seem to get in the way and cause problems. Most of the students move in and act like E.L. is really their home but it isn't. The students in E.L. are just like the illegal immigrants we have in this country. They have no respect for anything and are whiny bitches that will throw fits if something doesn't go their way like the riots. Luckily the E.L police have been cracking down the last few years and things have gotten a little better. Hopefully someday the students will learn they are guest of E.L. and are here to learn and not here to party every night.

Shetlin i would advise you to never say that to a MSU student ever. otherwise they might have to kick you in the fucking flaps. and what the fuck are you talking about visitors? someone can live in a city for 4 or 5 years and you call them visitors? as if east lansing belongs to you and only you? well i'm sorry that you didnt get into state and you have no friends to go out and party with every night like the rest of us. and it's also not our fault that we can all handle partying constantly and still keep our gpa up. so i have only one thing to say to both you and the author of this article: FUCK YOU!

I won't say it as colorfully as JMAT, but everyone else really does envy us Spartans. Articles like this strengthen that opinion.

MSU has never tried to tout itself as a "upper-tier" 4-year college, so what's the point of writing this?

What I do know is I spent the best 5, yes 5, years of my life at MSU, and still make just as much money as my UM/Miami(OH)/Northwestern peers. I wouldn't trade 1 of the hot, dumb chicks I nailed at MSU for 25 of the ogres that trolled around UM's campus all day.

PS. A good percentage of the rioters were non-MSU students. Good research.

GO STATE!

I agree with JMAT...this is my fifth year at MSU and I love to fuck U of M girls in the ass!

Yea I know from personal experience...even the Asians at MSU are better than girls from Cal-Berkeley, Dartmouth, and U of M!!!

The host of To Catch a Predator graduated from Michigan State. Wow, you're fuck stick sugar tits mcgee AKA chickiee 510.

My buddy's an EL cop and he says there's nothing more fun than Welcome Week. During the Final Four it's just one night of drunken idiocy followed by some nightstick action, but Welcome Week stretches from Wednesday to early Sunday morning. That means four nights to beat the crap out of 22-year-old coked-up dorks.

They say that most of the drugged up folks they encounter on the streets are male, when they realize they aren't going to get laid they just load up on the artificial joy, usually ending up on some sidewalk with their hand down their pants and a blank stare. He also says that chlamydia is pretty rampant around town and the treatment for guys is very painful, the people at Olin do a booming business in that.

It IS interesting that JMAT wants to fuck the author in the ass then hopes that the author is male. It's not surprising that a phony macho man like JMAT goes both ways, homosexuality is very typical for the roid-raging shaved chest hemp necklace pretty boys in EL.

So keep on partying, date raping, and starting fights because your HGH use has reverted you to 14 years of age, the cops enjoy beating your asses and ringing you up on criminal charges. You DO know that those charges follow you around when you apply for jobs?

It must suck to be too stupid to get into U of M.

Thank you MSU students for legitimizing everything said about you in the preceding article. Bravo. I hope for the sake of humanity that there a few diamonds in the rough, because if all 45,000 of you are like this........well, I shudder to think.

It's true, it's all true, those U of M girls love driving up to East Lansing and getting fucked in the ass. Blog it.

As a fellow alum, I can call this out as being complete horseshit. This was college--being educated WHILE having a good time. Social skills and networking that I learned while at school has helped me in getting jobs. My brother who got a full ride to U of M was at MSU every other fucking weekend so he could get away from the zombies that attended that school. I wouldn't change my college experience for anything. You can go fuck yourself--you have no idea what you're talking about.

me went to msu. me got schooled very gud. it was fun. i drinked a lot.

me went to msu. me got schooled very gud. it was fun. i drinked a lot.

I never respond or post to anything like this online, but this article ticked me off enough that I felt a need to. First thing, all of the MSU alum that wrote the disgusting, immature things below- great comeback, you make all of your fellow spartans proud.

Second, I wish the person that wrote this article would have researched a little more before they wrote such BS. The majority of the arrests and rioters were not even Michigan State students, and those that were had very harsh consequences.

The commments on "show your tits"....really, tell me a college campus where this phrase is not screamed at groups of girls walking around on a Friday or Saturday night. Its called 18-19 year old males with alcohol in them- this is not just a "michigan state" thing. I have even heard this at (GASP!) University of Michigan.

As far as admissions, it is harder to get into MSU than it ever was. And you failed to mention so many things...for example MSU has the #1 Study abroad program in the country, our successful basketball program... Bravo.

Yes, we do party hard in East Lansing, but what college student doesn't party for the most part? I got a great education, have a successful career and also had the best four years of my life. Not to mention, all of my friends are very successful as well. And its crazy, we were in the greek system too. Wow... shocking i know.

Michigan State is a great place to go to school. I look at the experience I had vs. my friends at other schools (university of michigan being one of them) and I would not change it for the world. There were many MSU students that could have gone to U of M or even better schools but chose Michigan State, me being one of them.

Our campus is gorgeous, the people are friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is amazing (tell me one school that can top the energy of the Izzone or a MSU tailgate) Not only did I get an education but I also had four fantastic years and left more confident and ready for the real world. MSU taught me a life balance which so students lack upon graduation. Ok fine, our football team is terrible (until this year!), but in with the first college fb games coming up this weekend I will leave this to end my rant "I would rather lose a Spartan than win as anything else".

Go Green, Go White!

I think it's remarkable that even though the article doesn't mention U-Michigan, the vast majority of commenters defending Michigan State make negative comments about U-M. Seems a bit obsessive.

No, State has never touted themselves as an elite academic institution. However, how about one of the top 30 business schools in the NATION, out of 406 universities offering business degrees! For those of us dumb fuck MSU grads that didn't learn or don't have the ability to learn at such a university, that's better than the 90th percentile. How about the nationally ranked #2 supply chain degree, behind only MIT; #14 education program, tied with NYU; #19 accounting degree, one slot behind Cornell; #55 engineering school, right behind ND; 70th ranked overall undergrad program, private or public. SHOULD I KEEP GOING???? Sounds like one of the worst schools in the nation, huh?

All these rankings come from U.S. News, which our courageous author had to cap on because they are the only rankings that mean anything and that people actually take seriously.

Though we may have been in the past, we are not currently a football school. Ever hear of a man named Tom Izzo?? Go find a D-1 college bball coach with his track record over the past 10 years. Not to mention he has to recruit these kids to play in the center of this shit-hole of a state.

Just to echo some of the comments already stated, good luck to the grads of these schools that this author must hold in such high esteem. Good luck when you actually have to look someone in the eyes on the job and hold a normal conversation after spending four years of your life with your head in a book and a thumb up your ass. And I wish them the best if they should EVER come near a pussy.

I don't feel I need to comment on the glorious campus life at MSU, because frankly it's pretty obvious, and those that have commented before me pretty much hit it on the head.

Obviously this pole-smoke of an author didn't do much research for this story, and it appears as if he has some sort of ax to grind. Perhaps his ex boyfriend who gave him chlamydia went to State? Perhaps it was JBardeen, who's obviously speaking from experience. BillR, you're a fucking scrote, enough said.

JMAT's PIMP. SMOKE GREEN! SNORT WHITE!!!!

Campus life? When I worked for Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions (what a shitty outfilt!!!!!) I had to go to this campus every year. If you don't have a map you can't find ANYTHING, and even with a map it's not easy to make your way around. It's like some fag decided to scatter art and random buildings around the campus in a deliberate attempt to make it impossible to get from point A to point B in a straight line, or even an oval line.

If you go to this shithole of a campus you'll need a personal navigator, as well as an interpretor. United Nations is in New York? No way. It's in East Lansing. If anyone (including the professsors) speaks English as his or her first language, you've got proof that God exists because it's a miracle. I spent fifteen minutes on this campus before I heard English for the first time one year.

And, let's face it, the men's basketball team lost to George Mason University two years ago. I mean, really! George Mason? Who the fuck ever heard of them? And this is a Big Ten school? Yeah, right.

If this is the best Big Ten school you can afford, then go here. If you can afford community college instead, choose that. Oakland University is a better layout and atmosphere than MSU. For that matter, I'm sure George Mason is better too.

I normally wouldn't respond to something like this, but this is such a poorly researched/written pseudo-article that I had to post a comment.

First of all, the article mentions "abysmally low SAT scores," which is entirely false. The average SAT score at MSU is around 1730-1760, which is considerably above average (average is around 1500), especially considering that MSU is a State university (which means that the school is FORCED by law to accept a disproportionately high number of in-state students). Also, the statistic might not be as significant as the writer wants it to be because he didn't take into consideration the fact that MSU is located in the midwest. Most kids in the upper midwest in fact do not ever take the SAT. They take the ACT. An average ACT score would be more significant when talking about MSU than an average SAT score. Way to get your facts straight, RadarOnline.

Also, MSU has an Honors College with MINIMUM requirements for freshman admission that would fit into the 25-75% range of statistics (GPA, class rank, SAT/ACT score) of ANY of the eight Ivy League schools. The kids that come into MSU's Honors College with Professorial Assistantships (basically the best Honors students) would be in the upper 25%-35% at any Ivy. And if you're thinking that it's only a handful of MSU students with these "stats," you're wrong. There are hundreds of incoming Honors College freshmen at MSU every year.

This all means that MSU has thousands of brilliant students that would fit into any college--regardless of how "prestigious" it is--, but you didn't research that at all, did you? The admission statistics at MSU are significantly brought down by MSU's land-grant mission. The University was built for the State of Michigan. It is, after all, a state-serving institution and must accept a high number of Michigan residents. What you criticize as being "abysmally low," we praise as a mission of serving the State of Michigan and its residents (who after all pay a lot in taxes to help our University).

As for Illustrious Alumni, I'm not surprised you didn't actually research anything. MSU is the alma mater of several past congressmen and many famous athletes, movie stars, etc. But our most notable alumni is probably Eli Broad, one of the 50 richest people in America and one of the main MSU donors (our Business College is named after him and a new museum with his name is in the making).

Do we party hard at MSU? Hell yes we do. We have fun. We have tremendous school spirit (have you even SEEN the Izzone during Big Ten basketball play?) and we're all proud to be a part of this University. But, as college students, we enjoy having fun and living life at the fullest. MSU allows you to get an excellent education (we're ranked as one of the top 100 Universities in the WORLD, one of the top 30 Public schools in America, have top programs in primary care medicine, marketing, supply chain management--#1 in the nation--,agriculture, one of the top 3 nuclear physics programs, the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, etc.), but it also allows you to have fun and enjoy the college life. I can honestly say that I've learned as much walking through our beautiful campus, hanging out with my friends, partying, and living on my own in East Lansing than I have in my classes (many of which have been very interesting).

To whoever said that MSU students are nothing but trouble to the East Lansing residents: we're not just "visitors." We spend 4 or 5 years of our life here, and we know EL as well as you do. Do we have fun like the 18-24 year olds we are? Sure. But we love East Lansing as much as anyone. Whenever there have been problems, its usually actually caused by students of other colleges or even the residents of East Lansing, Okemos, Grand Ledge, etc. For example, in the 1999 riots, something like 70% of all the people arrested were actually NOT affiliated to MSU in any form. In this year's welcome week, 59 of the 104 people receiving misdemeanor citations were NOT affiliated to MSU either. So you're wrong when you're saying we're the ones causing the problems. If anything, you should be thankful for Michigan State University. If it wasn't for this college, the City of East Lansing wouldn't even exist. If it wasn't for this college, Lansing wouldn't have grown as much as it did. If it wasn't for this college, you wouldn't have the football, basketball, hockey, etc. teams that this city roots for all the time. If it wasn't for this college, East Lansing wouldn't be the diverse, fun, vibrant city it now is. If it wasn't for this college and its students, many of the East Lansing businesses would go bankrupt. You have to acknowledge this: East Lansing LIVES thanks to Michigan State University, its students, its faculty, and its staff.

I love walking by the Red Cedar River on a chilly autumn night. I simply love this school. I am proud to be a sleep-deprived, party-hard, study-hard student at Michigan State University. I am proud to be a SPARTAN, and I bleed Green and White.

Go State!

At least the author was smart enough not to attach their name to this steaming pile. With shit stories like this Radar can go ahead and fail for the 2nd time.

MSU is smart to have low admission standards. Take the money for a year or two from all the dumbasses who can't handle it when they realize State actually has tough, demanding, highly respected programs.

The '60's rocked at State. My MSU short-story prof told me, "In ten years there won't be an intelligent person at this university. Leave now." Great academic counselling!...In the Fall of '66 MSU booked Timothy Leary whose advice, "Turn on, tune in, and drop out," I happily followed. I interviewed Leary 20 years later, and with eyes like a shocked rabbit he said, "Yes, MSU defeated Notre Dame that weekend 8-0. Kill, Bubba, Kill."...There were lots of arrests because MSU had the largest Police Admin dept., in the world; 25% of that titanic campus was razor-wired off-limits for Cop Cadets who were sent forth with one mission: arrest the spoiled little fuckers!...The entire Greek system needed serious drinkie-poo rehab; I de-pledged DU when I learned not one of those stupid farmers smoked weed...ROTC was silly, prepping us for sharp-shooting in 'Nam. My student superior officer spring a boner and "wrestled" with me in his starchy uniform, the perfect gay blond Nazi. But he was okay compared to the Hitlerian dweebs who were already property of the U.S. Armed Forces. Most of 'em got fragged by their own troops at Da Nang...Sex back then required a full-on tool-kit: Emko vaginal contraceptive foam (P-ffffft!) half-pint bottles of Arriba, and lamb-skin condoms...The speed & psychedelics were excellent. My first roommate arrived for his Frosh year with a huge Folgers Crystals jar filled with 5 mg bennies. "Where'd you get those?" I asked breathlessly. He replied, "My mom's a nurse; she wants me to do good here." My next roommate didn't fuck around; he had 20mg black-beauties. And there were some dumb loadies there; I sold more cannibis-free Iowa stink-weed on that campus than I had ever hoped, banana peels too...Ahhh, memories.

And for the majority of all the assholes posting here who are most likely UM people, whether graduates or just degenerates who could never get in yet are still UM slappies, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Thanks for the greatest recruiting tool MSU has EVER had! GO ASU!

Go visit East Lansing RIGHT now and tell me what you think.

too bad only 5% of the student body actually took the SAT, most students are from the midwest and only take the ACT.... as far as arrests are concerned, when you get 45,000 people between the ages of 17 and 25 together something is bound to happen... and a little rioting now and again never hurt anyone... and a career in packaging is big money... next time do a little research

Let's get some facts straight.

I'm a University of Bridgeport alumni and I must say that the article is very biased and cannot be used as a reliable source to rank universities. There are certain criteria that have to be taken into consideration objectively before determining which university is the "worst in America". Such factors include surveys by scholars and students, number of applicants, percent accepted, percent yield, percent of students in top tenth of high school class, retention rates, etc. The university is not "owned" by the Unification Church. They helped the university financially but they don't own it. The university is a private, non-sectarian institution and is not used for religious purposes.

It is hard not to see that Radar Online uses socially derogatory terms openly. A term like "Moonies" (notice it sounds like "loonies") used openly is clearly a sign that you are reading a prejudiced article. Contemporary news articles would use that word the following way: "members of the Unification Church, sometimes referred to as Moonies".

The tone of the Radar Online's article is not only belittling but also very bullying. Of course Bridgeport is a city that needs a lot of investment and help to be able to advance, but writing such an article does not help Bridgeport at all. It certainly is an article with the intention to mock and ridicule the city of Bridgeport, the university's students, its alumni, professors, and a new religious movement. Next time please consult official sources that rank universities.

Two words:

Appalachian State

Every time I look at my degree from MSU hanging from my home office, it makes me smile. Then I turn my head about 4 inches and look at the letters framed next to it. On one side, my acceptance into the LSA school at UM, on the other, my rejection of that acceptance written and mailed to the UM Acceptance Board on Spartan letterhead. I hope they got a chuckle out it, because I do everyday!

Best decision I ever made in my life.

And, just to reiterate from my last post; I definitely did way more hot, blonde girls at State then any of you will do in your lifetime. How's that dumb Spartan for you. Name call all you want; your envy will remain flattering for eternity!

GO GREEN.

you people are tragically funny... really. You just don't seem to get it, do you?
Is the best thing you can say about where you went to school that you got to fuck some bitch in the ass? congratu-fucking-lations, stud, here's a penny for your incredible success in life.

I'm sure you can give the appropriate answer on your next job interview:

Interviewer: What marketable skills do you have?
You: Well, I can fuck a dumb bitch in the ass.

See you on COPS.

I remember the days when Playboy magazine touted Chico State as the #1 party college. I remember Pioneer days which made national news when Chico police cars were burned during the festivities. But thats not the Chico State I know.... I wont deny that St Patricks day is a huge party day in Chico. Or Halloween. But Im sure I wasnt alone in making my education a priority. And perhaps contrary to the norm, I completed my stint in 3 1/2 years instead of 4. Chico State is a beautiful campus and there is a very active environmental presence there. Diversity is embraced and tolerance is encouraged. There is a feeling of being a part of a macrocosm there, since the campus is so beautifully built around the natural features of the creeks and huge sycamores and the various exotic plants that Annie Bidwell planted so long ago. In fact, Chico State's very proximity to the Historic home of John and Annie Bidwell reminds us daily of their legacy. Chico is an oasis of culture in a relatively remote location. Chico State is a huge part of that fact.

I am proud to say I had conscientious professors, challenging classes, and only a marginal brush with the nighlife (I will say that Duffy's Tavern on a friday night is the ONLY place to be in Chico in my opinion). I am a CSUC alumni, I graduated Cum Laude, and I guess, like anything, you find what you LOOK for. Too bad Radar didnt look beyond the bars. or the Playboy magazine. Chico is so much more.

Hahaha it's funny to me that Chico would be one of the worst colleges, let alone party schools.
1. People usually don't WANT to leave Chico, which explains why most people don't graduate in 4 years... there's more to life than getting some prestigious high paying job as soon as you can.
2. Phi Kappa Tau can suck a fat one... most of us greeks are legit!
3. Chico has one of the best recreation programs around.... somebody's gotta have rec jobs.... it's not exactly a joke!

wow. this article is a riot ! not meant to be taken seriously, guys...

with all due respect, liberty university rocks! you only know what media tells you and like in any other case, its bull. I wasnt going to come to liberty but I think it was the best move ever! funnest campus life hands down. and the education has proved itself because we have had high scores on nation wide tests. there is nothing bad to say about liberty. just because we are a christian university and have a bunch of rules (which are all super easy to deal with) doesnt make us a bad university. and we welcome non-christians without forcing beliefs onto them. seriously, more research should have been done.
