<p>Which college provides the best social life for students and which is prettier?</p>
<p>Michigan State has the edge in both I believe. The campus is absolutely stunning and the social life is great from what I hear.</p>
<p>Well, i've been to both, and grown up in the rivalry.</p>
<p>State is the MUCH better party school. In athletics, win or lose, they riot. It's a nice school, but VERY spread out, they sort of isolate certain schools from others. Their campus is 3X bigger than Michigans campus, which is a big campus itself. My mother attended both State and Michigan, and said she couldn't didn't even go to all the areas in the campus because it's so big.</p>
<p>Michigan does the same as well, i'm biased towards Ann Arbor growing up in there, but it's a much better city than East Lansing. As for prettier, it's a crapshoot. Both are wonderful campuses. In short, State is a party school, Michigan is an academic school.</p>
<p>Michigan State has a slightly better social life. The students are generally friendlier and more approachable and the academics are a little easier, giving students more time to breathe. But Michigan still has a friendly and approachable student body and a good social life. </p>
<p>In terms of compus beauty, Michigan edges MSU. In terms of natural beauty and landscaping, MSU has the edge over Michigan, but in terms of architecture and design, Michigan has significantly edge. Neither campus is known for aesthetic reasons though. </p>
<p>And by the way, MSU's campus is not three times bigger than Michigan's. MSU's campus is 5,200 acres, Michigan's is 3,100 acres.</p>
<p>MSU is flat flat flat. I don't find it attractive at all. U of Mich is also not known for being a pretty campus, but there's a heckuva lot more to do in Ann Arbor than in East Lansing (unless you like to milk cows) and it is all walking accessible to students in the downtown area of Ann Arbor. My colleague's smart D goes to MSU...had a real tough time finding a quiet place to study (she's in the honor's program) because the dorms are noisy party spaces into the wee hours of the morning.</p>
<p>Michigan State is so much better in everything, anyone wondering about this should goto Michigan State, there is really no comparison.</p>
<p>better in everything except academics.....</p>
<p>State sucks!</p>
