“I love MSU’s small‑town, Appalachian‑college feel, how close‑knit everyone feels, and how many clubs and Greek‑life events make it easy to belong, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the limited diversity, some slower‑paced town life, and a few under‑maintained dorms were all things that took more getting used to than I realized on campus day.”
