Michigan State University

Go Green! and welcome first-timers, new students, alumni, parents and all visitors to Michigan State University. The campus is one of the largest, greenest and most beautiful in the country. Because of roots deep in the scientific study of agriculture, MSU’s footprint covers over 5,000 acres; however, the main teaching campus and majority of attractions are clustered on the northern side, bordered by Grand River Avenue and adjacent to the Red Cedar River.
