Choose your own MSU intro:
-You’re 18, a freshman, and you don’t know enough people yet to be invited to anything but frat parties. Not to mention the fact that you live in a giant six floor house with your best friends. You know it won’t last forever-so what should you do on a Wednesday night?
-19. Not-a-freshman. Maybe you have a car, but who’s got the money for gas anyway? Leave that dorm room, do your German homework at 1am like the rest of us, and explore all the nooks and crannies of campus before climate change becomes real and the earth floods.
-You’re 20, you live off campus, and you’ve eaten cereal from the box for the last week. (Dreaming about that car food yet?) You really only go on campus for classes and meetings, but you’re starting to miss the submersion you had your first two years. Grab a friend and reimburse yourself in your home away from home before you kick it in for senior year.
-21. 22. Etc. This is it. Your last year. Sure, you’ll come back, but with the intimidating term of ‘alumni’ (and all that comes with it) like a name tag on your coat pocket. This is your last chance to roll your eyes at the Wells Hall Preacher, the last few sideways jumps to avoid a bike, and the last time you’ll creep up slowly to see how close you can get to that squirrel before it runs away. Visit a few old places, and enjoy discovering a few of the new as well.
A lovely spot to run, walk, or not bike. Go to the green until the ground turns white.
Affectionately called “The Broad” by MSU students, you never know what you’ll find inside the funky metal structure. From spaghetti-ed walls to a life size elephant suspended from the ceiling, you never quite know what you’ll come across inside.
It sounds a bit random, I know, but with the arched trees, brick building, and waist-high, swaying plants it will whisk you away–and more importantly–distract you from that Calc homework you forgot to do.
Try every flavor? Challenge Accepted. ✅
With ceiling high windows overlooking a roof of plants (GO GREEN–literally), you can finally sit back, relax, and watch that Netflix.
They say a kiss in the shadow of the tower will get you a ring, but it’s a great spot to visit whether you’re looking to tie the knot or not.
And then Lou Anna K. Simon said: let there be pasta. Enough said.
A picturesque place to study. That is, if the squirrels don’t beat you to it.
Is your roommate watching Criminal Minds on full volume again? Can you hear every lyric of the song the frat across the street is blasting? If so, the top floor of the library is the place for you. Around every corner is another anxious grad student shushing anyone who breathes, ensuring that you have peace and quiet to study….or nap!
