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.

"Dude, U of M sucks for undergrad. Our girls are so much hotter."
"Dude, I'd rather spend my college years having fun than go to Michigan and study all the time."
"Uh, yeah...I got into Michigan, but, uh...yeah...I saw how they studied so I was like 'FUCK THAT'."
"Michigan State University is comparable to the likes of Stanford, Berkeley, Yale, Michigan, and Carnegie Mellon. People just don't know it yet!"

A college in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The backup for most students who don't get into State, resulting in excessive drinking and drug use. No doubt that Western rules the BP table. One of those places you go for the parties and not the degrees.

A university known for its community college experience, without the hassles of parental supervision. Also known for misshapen women, lukewarm beer, and endless fields of multiple varieties of corn.
"Did you get into Mott Community College?"
"No, I'm at Central michigan university this year, but maybe I'll get in next year! I hope..."

School in Richmond, Kentucky. Home of the Colonels. Has many colleges of such things as business, technology, education, public safety, and arts & sciences. Often considered the red (or in this case marron) headed step child of the University of Kentucky.

"W&L" George Washington. Robert E. Lee. We work hard and play harder. The majority of the student body is white, rich, Greek, and a bit on the snobby side. Pearls, sandals and popped collars are worn all year round. 15th in the nation. #1 for beer and liquor. We're trying to recruit more minorities - we've got a lot of internationals but not so many black kids. We have honor and we miss THE TRIDENT.
Girl 1: "So, you're going to be going to Washington & Lee University to party it up in Lex Vegas next year?"
Girl 2: "Yeah, my dad went there and I'm too pretty to waste my time at UVA. That, and it's practically Ivy League."
"We're not snobs, we're just better than you." (This is actually printed on a Washington and Lee University t-shirt.

Basically the biggest college in the world with black enrollment. Not to mention that like 3 Asians and 5 white people go there. Highest SAT scores of entering students are in the upper 300's for each section. Basically you can get in there even if you didn't graduate high school or if you slept through your entire SAT.
John: " Jill where you going to college?"
Jill: " Bethune-Cookman University with Laquisha, we're going to rip right into the partying"
John: " You mean you will get ripped open right away"
Jill: " WHAT???!!"
John: "..........."

Could very well be the worst on-campus University in the United States. It is the only university in the country that would accept anything that walks on two legs and has a pulse. People with sat scores in the 900's get accepted to this school. Also, it has a graduation rate of 29%.
It's business school and engineering school are unaccredited, yet the university was founded in 1949.
Everybody that goes here say they go to the best university in Arizona and they will get connections through Colangelo because that's what the business school is named after. I say again: they will accept almost anyone
