MSU's huge country-like campus offers a lovely setting for running, biking or just hanging out, and also has places to visit, like the Beal Botanical Gardens, Sanford Natural Area, the 70,000-capacity Spartan football stadium, an art center, planetarium and, of course, the MSU Dairy Store for ice cream.
Amazing Experience!! Visited the MSU campus for a college visit and absolutely everything was positive. We have been corresponding with the school for about three months as my son is an accepted student. Our first experience was with LARRY ALTERMAN. He is the recruiter in our area. From his accepted students orientation to following up to see how our visit went, Larry is a wealth of MSU knowledge. Straight forward, informative, answered every question and spoke to the students as a parent would. He is truly amazing. The day of the tour we all met at Brody Square for lunch complements of MSU. This was accompanied by a presentation an Q&A on everything MSU. After this we took the walking tour of campus with KRISTIN. She gave a well informed tour from the students perspective. Very informative and knowledgeable. Her phrases "Cool, cool" and "Let's rock and roll" will stay in our heads. She was full of energy and a terrific guide. MEGAN in the advisors office at the business school and MADDIE, a student from the advisors office were both consistent with all information from their perspectives. I kept waiting for someone to trip up and change my opinion of this whole experience but it never happened. It was an A+++ all the way through. The campus is large but manageable for a Big10 school. Almost had a small school feel. We visited academic buidlings, dorms, wellness facilities, Spartan Stadium, etc. Wear comfortable shoes and definitely dress warm in the winter. As we have been through the college experience prior with our other kids, the MSU experience was by far the most informative and stress free from all the schools we have ever dealt with. Amazing follow up from everyone which is rare these days. Definitely the best college experience ever!!

At Roy Saper's art gallery, one will find a diverse selection of art from around the world in a variety of media, including photography, mixed media, glass, painting, sculpture, contemporary and traditional. Filled with light, items are well displayed and whether one is buying or just considering, it is certainly worth an art lover's time. (Excellent for gift shopping for someone special.)

Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1992, this building has served as Michigan's seat of state government since its completion in 1879.
We did a self tour of this magnificent capitol. You enter on the ground floor which is very much like a basement providing little hint of the splendors above. The capitol is done with Victorian elegance and opulence. There are magnificent chandeliers, and the rotunda and inner dome are beautifully decorated with elaborate hand-painted designs, as are the walls and ceilings throughout the Capitol. As a cost saving measure almost all the wood trim appears to be walnut but most of it is inexpensive woods, carefully hand painted to mimic walnut. The impressive grandiose House of Representatives and Senate Chambers are located on the third floor and are accessible to the public. We particularly liked the glass coats-of-arms for each state in the chamber ceiling. We've toured several state capitols, and this one is certainly impressive and well represents Michigan. Of note - there is no capitol parking lot - it's all street!
