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!
