I might be a little bias here, but I’m just going to come out and say Michigan State is one of the best colleges (if not the best) to ever exist. A school is made up of so much more than leading in every sector of academics or having an exclusive admissions process, which is so evident at MSU. Here are seven common college complaints that you hear most students complain about, but will never hear come out of MSU student’s mouths:

1. Running out of laundry coins. At MSU, all laundry (yes, all) is free! You never need any coins or money which is awesome because most college students don’t have either of those things anyways.
2. Bad cafeteria food. MSU has one of the best lunch facilities in all of America. I don’t know if that’s an actual fact, but I could only assume that’s true because our cafeteria food is actually great.
3. Lack of school spirit. If you’ve ever questioned the necessity of school spirit, spend a day on MSU’s campus on game day during football season. It’s an amazing feeling being surrounded by a sea of green and people who love your school as much as you do.
4. Sucky teams. Whether it’s football, basketball or debate, we’re usually ranked in the top ten, maybe even top five in the nation. How awesome is that?
5. Being located in the middle of nowhere. I’m not going to say that everything outside of East Lansing is the most populated areas in America, but we’re definitely not in the middle of nowhere. We’re located next door to Michigan’s capital (Lansing, not Detroit). We’re also not too far from Detroit, so we can easily get the perks of a big city, too.
6. Always running into people you know. With over 50,000 students roaming our campus, it’s pretty unlikely you’ll run into a ton of people you know on a daily basis. I’m not going to say it’s impossible, but it’s definitely easier to avoid people you don’t want to see.
7. Dorms are ugly/gross/etc. Our dorms, even though they’re not air conditioned, are pretty great. Some of our dorms are known to resemble Harry Potter while others are updated with hardwood floors and bigger rooms, so we definitely could have it worse.
