There are two types of people who attend Michigan State University:

1. People who were, quite frankly, too stupid to get into the University of Michigan

and...

2. People who are happy to be there because, quite frankly, they couldn't get into anywhere else

Type 1 will often ramble on and on about how bad U of M "sucks", and will often try to fabricate reasons for why this is true. Type 1 will claim that U of M is "overrated" for undergraduate studies while ignoring our business, engineering, and LSA schools (top ranked in the country no matter how you spin it), our direct placement into great jobs after graduation, and our placement into top graduate, medical, and law schools across the country after graduation.

Type 1 will often argue that MSU is the place to go if you want to party. OK. U of M is the place to go if you want a GOOD job. Michigan graduates will secure jobs with firms in NYC, LA, and Chicago. MSU grads STAY in Michigan.

Both Type 1 and Type 2 truly believe in a rivalry between Michigan and Michigan State, which Michigan students will refuse to acknowledge simply because they already KNOW they're better.

Michigan State students are not taught to love Michigan State--they're taught to hate the University of Michigan. What you get is a school of bitter idiots who party so much in order to drink away the pain of rejection from one of our nation's great universities.

1. More fun than the University of Michigan.

2. Not filled with snobby assholes.

3. Best party school around.

4. Big Ten sports, awesome basketball team.

The best university in the world for a complete collegic experience. MSU has a lot to offer its students: a great atmosphere, a great education, a great social experience, and many other benefits including an extremely attractive student population. The MSU female is the perfect combination of brains and looks, and the MSU male is/gets lucky (often).

1. A phenomenal university located alongside Michigan's capital city of Lansing, this school is for the well-rounded student who is looking for a fantastic education, great employment opportunities, and an active and friendly student body--basically the overall "student experience" plus a kick-ass campus. They also have well-recognized and nationally ranked graduate programs in research, law, and all 3--yes 3--of their medical schools. Don't believe it? Here:

MSU students benefit from being...

1) DO YOU LIKE BASKETBALL?
2) DO YOU LIKE TO PARTY?
3) DO YOU LIKE TO BLOW SHIT UP?
4) YOU SIR JUST GOT A SCHOLARSHIP TO MSU!

Where summer barbeques involve Wolverines. The reason they are extinct in Michigan is because they've been hunted by Spartans.

U of M fans will knock the education, but 90% of them didn't attend college and got their gear at Wal-Mart. They tend to be overweight, diabetic, ugly, and speel lik thise. If you're a guy, you can't help but walk around with a boner because there are so many hotties walking around. Beware - STDs are rampant, but this a case at many universities. Just wrap your junk with a garbage bag or an entire roll of Cling Wrap and you'll be fine.

The best university in the state of Michigan! Anyone that says different didn't even graduate from high school. Appalachian State, anyone? Didn't think so.

The school that no one actually likes until they realize it's the only place they are smart enough to go to college.

Where University of Michigan students visit their dumber loser friends.
