With the limitations during the 2020 year, MSU did the best they could. However, their best was also fantastic! I did not have a single hiccup in miscommunications on a project, curriculum and due dates were still well-understood, and with Zoom classes available scheduling became easier too! I would not be surprised if they continued to do Zoom/hybrid courses because of how convenient they were for lecture-based classes. I did not feel abandoned once with online classes, everyone was still well involved and check-ins were frequent. Overall, five stars for online courses!
I have spoken to many support persons at this university, and I can say I love it! They have all been so supportive and helpful in finding the right college for my situation, even if it isn't their university! The upkeep on the college seems delightful, as everything seems very nicely kept and the people are so welcoming. This college is also very affordable and offers a great number of scholarships to help their students as much as possible.
So far, as a first year freshman who took dual-credit courses there in high school, MSU is relatively decent! The food provided could be better and the dorms are subpar, but the education provided is fantastic. Because it is a smaller school, you have more of an opportunity to talk one-on-one with a professor. Everyone who I have met has been so helpful and kind, including the student body. Overall, welcoming environment and amazing education gets four stars from me! I just wish the experience was more fun and exciting during 2020, but there is only so much you can do with that.
