I m am currently in my last year at MSU and I am going to be graduating with nothing but resentment and hatred towards this university. You are constantly belittled with the political opinions of the administration s, sending you useless emails and phone calls on their political views. The fees within the university are confusing and almost impossible to understand/find information about. If you have classes on campus you pay for parking every day (currently around 5-7$ depending on where you park) which means you are gonna be paying around 500$ a semester just in parking. MSU has no regard for the safety of their students refusing to close campus even when other school districts/ universities in the area do for bad weather or threats (Sol Pais threat). The overall academics of the school are average with most of the class sizes, professor ratings and knowledge, and degrees being pretty good. Then there is Student Success Center that holds the admission and financial aid for the university. I have not had one single semester since entering this university were some problem has not arisen with financial aid (forms that they have lost, slow processing speed, inaccurate dispersement dates) so if you are paying for college with any type of loans be prepared for your loans to be delayed and mismanaged for about a month or sometimes two. The campus itself is quite pretty being in the heart of Denver however it does bring a lot of traffic from Denver as well so there is a police reporting an incident almost ever other week so I d be cautious at taking night classes. Along with all this, in the middle of the COVID pandemic MSU has raised their tuition meaning that you will be paying more for no in person classes, never seeing/ using the campus or amenities (which by the way you pay for also in fees) , and some professors who barely know how to use a computer. In the end this is what I d say about MSU
Pro:
Still cheaper then CSU and CU
Pretty but somewhat dangerous campus
Close to Denver
Average academics
Con:
Terrible administration
Terrible management
Bad parking and parking cost
Hidden/ confusing fees
If I could start over I would have spent the more money for a well run university CSU, CU, UCCS, UNC or save a bunch of money and going to ACC
Hope this helps everyone understand what you are walking into.
