I've enjoyed my time here at MSU! I've grown and learned so many concepts that I will apply to my future career in Business. MSU has prepared me well for future success. For future students, I recommend getting involved in clubs as MSU offers many opportunities to participate in activities that make a difference and change your life. I also suggest building up your professional network through LinkedIn and meeting people with the same major as you as these people will become your study buddies for most of your college life.
I first did my certificate throught Cousera,it was a great expirience that led me to try a Degree in Dta Science with University of Michigan.
Michigan State University is a beautiful campus that really feels like home by the time you're ready to graduate. Michigan State University does a lot to ensure that it provides students with the resources and amenities needed to be a successful student, and are mostly successful in that. Most academic staff are top-notch, but of course, there are still professors who are not of good quality, as with any academic institution. Most professors truly care deeply about the subject that they are teaching, and are willing to help students. As mentioned before, MSU does a lot to ensure that students have the resources available needed to be successful, such as tutoring - however, sometimes student tutors are inept and don't put a lot of care into how or why they tutor. The only complaint that I really had about MSU was their lack of mental health treatment for their students. Support for students mental-health-wise was absolutely abysmal. That being said, I still love MSU and everything it offered me during my attendance.
