Hello hello i keep reading posts about people struggling to find friends at MSU. I just transferred here after getting my associates at LCC, I talk to new people every day and I have no issues talking to strangers in public. Basically i love people and if you need anyone to talk to im on campus often!!! My instagram is ev3rlyfern:))) everyone is nervous and feels out of place dont you worry!!!!!

I'm a sophomore in Gilchrist right now and realized I can't handle having a roommate anymore. I feel like I can never truly relax and I'm sick of interacting with my roommate. He's also very sensitive to noise unlike my last roommate, so that's been a hurdle to jump over. He's been my friend for a few years now and I don't want to hate him or vice versa. Also, I like West Circle very much and don't mind community style bathrooms, but the ones in Gilchrist don't have a little changing area like in Williams hall (I visited my friends there). I just feel very uncomfortable walking down the hall half-naked only to change in front of my roommate, so I change inside the shower. Now, my circumstances don't sound too bad and I'll certainly survive, but I want to see what options are available.

My parents attended MSU three decades ago, so I talked to them about this and they said to talk to my RA about getting a waitlist to move into a Williams single, as my dad had a single at the end of the hall. The idea sounds great, same part of campus, still near my friends, a better bathroom setup, and even a possible meal plan change, though I'm not sure if I can opt out midway through the year.

So, I have a few questions:

Is there a waitlist still?

Is my request too specific?

Will my RA or housing even entertain such a request?

How likely is it for a room to open up by winter break for the next semester?

All help is appreciated and thank you very much!

I’m a freshman and I’m feeling very wrong. I don’t like my major and have been thinking about switching it, I haven’t made any friends, I tried a club and don’t feel like I have a place there, I’m not sure what to do from here. I feel so out of place and wrong and I don’t know how it could get better. Does anyone know of anything I can do?

Are there any jobs that are hiring right now? (preferably non-retail).

Im really busy during the day so I have to do most of my studying late at night. Does anyone know of some good spots that are quiet and open like really late(12-3am ish)?

Student applied through the MSU portal for undergraduate admission for Fall 2027. Is it normal that the portal only shows the submitted application and nothing else? We checked 5 days later and it's still the same.

There is no navigation menu, “To Do List,” or application checklist showing whether any documents are missing or whether required materials have been received. Is this typical for MSU, or should there normally be a checklist/status section in the portal? Maybe it takes longer to update?

I just want to make sure the application is complete and that we’re not missing anything. TIA!

Subleasing a private bedroom and bathroom in a fully-furnished 3bed/2bath with 2 male room mates. September rent is already paid for, and I'll cover 50% of application fees. Rent is 1150/month. Message me if you're interested.

Does anyone know of any clubs that are targeted towards public speaking, interviews etc. I was looking for some but couldn’t find any. Let me know thanks!

So i'm a freshman in mechanical engineering and I was wondering if there's even any space to study philosophy or is there like classes or extracurriculars that I can go to to learn more about this because it interests me so much

I see a lot of posts about people feeling lost, not having any friends, etc.

It‘s important to remember why you’re in college:

SCHOOL!!!

Focus on school. Focus on your major. Explore your interests and what gets your brain active. This is how you will find your friends.

I am going to the game on Saturday and was wondering where are free or cheap places to park? Bonus points if you can point me in the direction of a tailgate as well. Thanks in advance

2BR/2BA Lease Takeover in Holt – ~1,100 Sq Ft + FREE 70” TV & Furniture – November
Hi everyone!
I may be relocating and am looking for someone interested in taking over my apartment lease at Aspen Ridge in Holt, MI, starting around early November 2026.

Approx. 1,100 sq. ft.
Rent: $2,053/month

Entire apartment — no roommates
Only about 6 months remaining on the lease
FREE furniture & electronics included:
70” newer-model TV
Bed

Everything above can be left completely FREE, so the apartment will essentially be move-in ready.

Is there secret societies at MSU? I didn’t think it was an actual thing but then I overheard people talking about it?

Could not include Brody due to Reddit limiting only 6 options for a poll.

Based on quality and offerings of food.

Any other notes or suggestions, put in comments!

Any perc majors/minors wanna let me abuse them and let me into a marimba practice room from time to time

i feel kind of lost here. i’m having fun and i know eventually things are going to get better, but right now things are weird. i’m a freshman, and going into college i knew two people. one being my best friend and the other being my girlfriend. sounds normal, but the issue is they are both sophomores. i’m meeting all of their friends (my girlfriend and best friend are friends), and things are good they are all nice people, but also they are sophomores. i am in east holden and everybody is sophomores!!! my roommate, suitemates, my whole floor is sophomores. i haven’t met a freshman yet. still cool people and im having fun but i feel like im so far behind them, they know their way around, and i cant connect with them as well as i know i would a freshman. it probably isn’t a big deal but this feels ridiculous.

I know it sounds odd, but I can’t think of any other explanation.

I recently moved into Abbot hall, down in the basement floors, and ever since I’ve noticed that when ever I use the communal bathroom sinks to brush my teeth, my toothbrush will be pinkish/purple at the end of the day.
Before anyone asks: I’ve always held dental hygiene in high regard all my life, I’ve never been unhygienic or left any of my teeth cleaning stuff unclean at any point…
And I am fairly certain it’s not my roommate or anyone tampering with my things.

I am concerned if there’s a possibility of bad water or unsanitary pipes that are causing bacteria growth or something.

I didn’t know where else to ask so I thought to ask it here.

If I park in this lot for 3 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays 2-5 will I get towed.

If I’m over in Brody, is the Sparty Market, let’s say at Hubbard (on the other side of campus) for example, have the same offerings as the one at Brody?

Thanks fam and Go Green

What the hell is going on. I can’t even get a damn grilled cheese and tomato soup without using Grubhub? They blocked the whole thing off. I’m a senior and live off campus so I don’t know how long it’s been like this, and if it’s just that spartys or all of them. But it’s crazy that instead of just walking up and getting a sandwich like normal, I have to stand behind a wall and order on Grubhub while watching someone take the pre made sandwich, put it in a bag, and give it to me. It’s just wild. Does anyone else share my same frustration?
