If your future plans involve attending Michigan State University then it's wise to learn a little more about this educational institution, such as the fact that in the United States it has the ninth largest student body. Michigan State, the home of the Spartans, is one of the top universities in the United States, and here is a little more about it.

Michigan State, which first opened its door in 1855 and during that first year, there were only five instructors and 63 students. This was the first agricultural college in the United States and actually was then called Agricultural College of the State of Michigan. Its current name, Michigan State University, was not adopted until 1964. The university initially was a college for men only, and became a co-educational university in 1870.

As MSU is member of the Big Ten, it holds a lengthy and renowned record for the athletics. The football team of MSU is known to have beaten Stanford University in 2014, their most recent achievement in their five participations in the Rose Bowls. And of all these participations, they only lost once which dated way back in 1966 to UCLA. Much pride for their men's basketball is the fact that they have won two of the NCAA championships and NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson has this institution as his alma mater. There are 13 intercollegiate sports for women, and 12 sports for men including hockey, swimming and golf, as well as the aforementioned football and basketball.

There are nearly 20 different colleges within MSU offering a variety of four-year and graduate degrees. While the school is well known for its College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, there are also colleges for veterinary medicine, human medicine, law, engineering, education, music, nursing and much more. Within each college, there are many different areas of study and degrees that you can earn. For example, within the College of Arts and Letters, there are majors in several different languages, theater, women's studies, philosophy, art history and more.

Being in the campus of MSU you are likely to find that it upholds the importance of social activities hence several groups are open for you. You are sure to find one group or club no matter what you may be interested in. There are the likes of a Quidditch group, a ballroom dance team, a geography club, a geology club, a group for those avid viewers of Doctor Who or any religious-based clubs. Each one is encouraged to find friends and socialize which is why several groups are there for all students to choose from.

It can be a real hassle for students to attend to packing and hauling of items to take home during breaks from school if they live in dorms. So, why not consider renting perhaps a Bath mini storage unit, a mini storage in Dewitt, mini storage in Haslett, or a mini storage in Okemos or East Lansing? Good security and an offer for a month-to-month rental with student discount is simply what you need to find for these.
