The campus of the Michigan State University is one of the biggest, it is a city full of universities and students and dorms.They have their own busses, their own cash - not required to have it,it is a different and amazing experience. You got involved in their lives, football games, hockey and this enthusiams they have for sports. They are like a huge community, dressed in green and white like their football team. It is amazing.

Final comments
The first week was a really hard one, I had to fill out a lot of administrative documents, buy books, pay a lot for housing and meal plans and so on. I was really stressed and I missed my family and my friends. Neverthess, I made a lot of new friends from around the world, I quickly got used to the systems and to the environment. I spent 1 week in Miami for Springbreak and would recommend everyone to travel there.(remember to book it early and through a travel agency - like Statravel as most online-booking services to not accept foreign issued credit cards).University is hard but it is a really good education. Don´t take it too easy as you must represent your university appropriately - which includes academic and social life. Don´t forget that this is an unique opportunity so enjoy it and have a lot of fun. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

You can register for more courses than you need.
You can sometimes attend graduate courses even if your exchange progamme only contents undergraduate courses - just try.

You can get cheap and nice things for your room (blankets, lamps, posters, carpets,...) at Meijer's - about 10 minutes away from campus by bus (from Grand River Avenue). Discover the campus, it is huge (like a village) and it has a lot of nice things to visit. Go to at least one Football game - it's a special experience. There are also interesting Basketball or Hockey games. You can find a lot of sports facilities - if you plan to go to the gym regularly buy a gym pass for $ 60,-- and you can go there whenever you want.
Visit Chicago (about 6 hours away by bus - you can also go there by train), it's a very beautiful city, Detroit is also near by. Toronto is a very nice city (you need a signature from OISS to be able to go there - kind of visa). If you want to visit New York you should go by plane. There are always special offers for students (STATRAVEL agency on Grand River - close to the Union). Discover Michigan: Upper Peninsula, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island, Mackinaw City,... IT IS GREAT!!!

Make some money to travel as much as you can.
The campus in itself is full of opportunities.
I personnally had found a job before landing to the US, via internet, so I knew I would get the chance to visit a bit of the East Cost, of Canada and of Mexico (which I did).
Open-Up and Enjoy Everthing...

Overall
It’s a nice University , the application process is the easiest among all the colleges I applied to in the state of Michigan. The admission processing team gives you all the feedback you need as soon as you apply and they keep in touch with you.
I can recommend this University to everyone all day all night because it made it easy for me to apply despite being in the pandemic.
