Michigan State University Students Tell It Like It Is

"Varsity sports are huge on this campus. If you don't like sports, you'll be a minority here."

But if you are thinking about Michigan State, then you are probably well acquainted with its athletic tradition. You may even know who Johnny Spirit is.

But do you know about painting the rock?

How about AllMSU an online interaction site for MSU students to hook up, rate professors, or sell books?

The student author warns that the cafeteria is not that bad as long as your expectations aren't high.

One student says this:

"On campus food? It sucks! No other comment is necessary."

But other sections get higher ratings. Here's what one student had to say about nightlife:

"Awesome! You're not a Spartan if you go to MSU without partying. The good spots: Triangle Fraternity, Rick's, Riv's heck, all bars are great and awesome."

So maybe you didn't know it all. There's so much more to a school than a brochure or a campus tour can show you. Buy the College Prowler guidebook, and feel like an insider before you ever set foot on the campus!

Find out if MSU has something for you, straight from the students' mouths.

Visiting campus isn't enough.

Read our Michigan State University insider's guide and discover what it feels like to be on campus for 4 years.

Discover if MSU is Right For You.

Great to get the inside perspective!
While helping my son select & apply for colleges last year, we purchased this book as well as the companion volumes for U of Michigan and a few other schools.

After reading pages and pages of promotional material written by the universities themselves, it was great to see a more independent student's eye view.

Two aspects of these books that were surprising, but helpful.First, the books include many collections of direct quotes from students expressing their opinions on various aspects of the school.They are printed together verbatim.The comments are sometimes conflicting, which seems to reflect the "real world" aspects of selecting a school.As a simple example, the section on dorms and dorm foods includes quotes ranging from specific comments about individual dining halls pluses and minuses, to broad statements that the food is awful, to others with more favorable assessments.This seems to be a faithful reproduction of what you'd get if you asked the students yourself.

Second, it was interesting to read the books for 2 schools "side by side".When comparing MSU and U of M, it became clear how many aspects these two large Big Ten schools have in common - probably more than they differ.

Since my son has only been on campus at MSU for a few months, it may be too soon to say whether all the details are up to date, but overall the book's description of the school seems accurate.Meanwhile, the related volume on U of M appears to be up to date;we are residents of Ann Arbor and so are familiar with at least many of the townie related details.

I would recommend this book, as well as others in the series, highly for those in the undergrad college selection process.They provide a great counterpoint to the materials sent by the colleges themselves.

The roller coaster ride of emotions that the author felt were portrayed in this book. I laughed and cried as she took us on her journey and battle with GOD often looking at myself.

Power(less) Testimony
Author Kimberly R. Davis has written her testimony in a short, non-fiction book titled, "All I Wanted Was a Baby."She shares her trials in efforts to conceive a child with her husband.She spoke of her desire to have a child of her own, being able to cuddle, nourish, and train him in the way he should go.

Unfortunately, after enduring nine miscarriages, her faith in God was shaken, and her desire turned into defeat.That is until after enduring the miscarriages and dealing with the emotional baggage and fading faith in God, was she able to carry her first son to term.All this was due to the prayers of her family and church family is Mrs. Davis' testimony.Not only was she able to finally have her first child, the Lord blessed her again and then again with sons numbers two and three!

Mrs. Davis' testimony is one to be admired and should give faith and hope to any woman who is having trouble conceiving and that through faith and prayers, God will bless you to have a child as well.The first thing I noted was at first inspection the book is a little deceiving unless you read the back cover.The front of the book gives you a visual of what appears to be a young teenager who might be trying to have a baby of her own.After reading the book, I was not convinced that the writer actually endured all she wrote about.The voice of the author "sounded" monotone, almost as if she were telling someone else's story and not her own.Immediately I had questions that were not answered in her book: "How did she feel other than defeated, and what does it mean to lose one's faith and in doing so, what happens?"I was looking for this short book of powerful testimony to have me in tears, praising God for the triumphs and going through this ordeal with the author.

Sorry to say that I would not recommend this book to someone who is going through a similar situation because it would leave them asking more questions than before they read the book.

Truly Inspirational
I enjoyed this book very much. The author was able to capture how she was affected by her many losses and how she overcame the pain of those losses through prayer. Her story of faith is wonderfully inspirational. ... Read more

Product Description
Chabot Davis analyzes contemporary texts that bond together two seemingly antithetical sensibilities: the sentimental and the postmodern. Ranging across multiple media and offering a methodological union of textual analysis and reception study, Chabot Davis presents case studies of audience responses. Chabot Davis argues that sentimental postmodernism deepened leftist political engagement by moving audiences to identify emotionally with people across the divisions of gender, sexual identity, race, and ethnicity. This study questions the critical equation of postmodernism with apocalyptic nihilism and political apathy. The book also challenges the assumption that sentimentality and sympathy are inherently conservative and imperialistic. ... Read more

What makes College Park so special? It is the people who live here. College Park has managed to maintain a small-town feel even as it is home of the Georgia International Convention Center and with the town's close proximity to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. Located 15 minutes southwest of Atlanta, College Park is a small town nestled within a large urban city. The people who live here make it what it has always been--an active and caring community.

horrible
Not sure who proof read this book- if anyone! The grammar and spelling is horrible. There are tons of typos. Putting those errors aside, the book lacked taste and I was disappointed in it.

The most horrible book
This book was awful. It had nothing at all to do with being married to the badge. Plus her grammar is horrible. There is no point to this book, unless you just like to read a bad book for the heck of it.

This is not the life of a cops wife
I have been married to a law enforcement officer for 10 years.This book is everything to do with a woman who is self absorbed, and nothing to do with being married to a cop.It should have been titled "I have nothing else to do with my life, so hey, why not write a stupid book".If anyone wants to know what it is like being married to the badge, you are better off staying far away from this book and talking to some real LEO wives.My disappointment in this book is extreme.I am actually angry at the writer for using that title.It is not at all about being married to a Cop.

Unbelievable
This was no where near the true life of being married to an officer! It is a disgrace to police wives and their husbands.

More of a novel than helpful....
It wasn't a bad novel, but I would not recommend it as a book to help police families because it just doesn't.It is an ok story with some very harsh language that I was suprised about and quite a few typing errors (bad editor).As the wife of a police officer, I was expecting more of an inside look into another LEO family, instead I got a bedtime story.If you are looking for support or insight, look somewhere else. ...

Ideal for reference and review
This book was a gift for a friend who is an RN in a regional hospital in Arizona.Here are her comments:

"Our ER out here in cowboy country sees lots of seasonal rodeo injuries.This little book is a good, quick reference for our permanent staff, as well as medical students and residents rotating through.I especially like chapter 6, Spinal Chord Injury Exam, and the references and resources at the back.Thanks!"

Excellent Pocket Book
This book is a quick and easy guide to musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve exams. It's very portable, easy to read and find information.Has detailed photographs for each exam and drawings of each relevant nerve. Would recommend this book to physicians in primary care, neurology, PM&R and Pain Medicine.

a pocket full of important information
an excellent resource for the medical practitioner and student; full of concise information on MSK and peripheral nerve exams

highly recommended!!!
I absolutely love this book!It's small, handy and has tons of pictures to easily highlight what and how to examine. Also, has very useful, detailed drawings of each nerve that are clinically relevant. I'm in Family Practice and some parts of this book are beyond me (EMG, detailed muscle innervation/needle placement info, cord injury info), but 80% of the book is what I was taught in medical school and can't remember for those 5 patients a month that need a thorough exam. I also like how well and concisely it's organized. ... Read more

Kimberly D. Davis was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1976, along with a twin brother. After graduating from high school, she went on to attend Georgia State University from 1995 to 1996. At that point she chose to join the Air Force so she could travel around the world. She then finished her basic military training and headed overseas to see the world but to also continue her college education. Her journey began in Japan and took her to Korea, Turkey, Germany, and Hawaii. All the while, she focused on her dreams of getting a college degree and starting a writing career. No matter how much of a challenge life had been, this young black woman from Atlanta, Georgia, continued to look up. The military moved her to Sumter, South Carolina, where a very special person, Dorthy Primus, came into her life. It was this angel who re-inspired this author to accomplish her dreams and to learn from the hand she had been dealt. Then the military moved her to Key West, Florida, where the challenges continued. In December 2003, she completed her bachelor’s degree with Saint Leo University. She took 2004 to recuperate and turn focus to her writing. In 2005 she went back to school and completed her MBA with American Intercontinental University (AIU). Metamorphosis is her story. It is the ultimate unification of life and love! ... Read more
