Have fun and make the most of it.

Wholesome campus life and good facilities.

Tips: My days tend to start early, and I like to spend time outside of the classroom. There are public transport buses that make commuting to campus much easier, although weekends can be tricky to navigate. I recommend learning to cook your own meals and budgeting.

It’s essential to have a working campus ID to get around campus.

Tips: When I came to Lansing from my hometown it was so much quieter here, but I can keep busy with all the clubs and events on campus. The students do have to stay alert because there are lots of pickpockets and also be prepared to do lots of presentations and projects. I’ve had to learn how to cook now that I’m here. It’s essential to have a working campus ID to get around campus.

The culture is friendly, and people are direct but polite.

Tips: I have seen a lot of changes in myself throughout my time here, mostly positive. The culture is friendly, and people are direct but polite. I did not get any scholarships, but the classes are well planned, and you're taught everything from Python engineering to SQL and more. I am very satisfied studying here, although the job scenario is getting more unpredictable by the way.
