Yes
Post this on the Michigan board. They'd know for sure. Of course most universities are liberal. It all comes down to the severity.
I would probably say that they lean liberal, considering that U of Michigan is about as loonie left as they get, and they're in the same state system. More than likely most of the students are conservative (or in my findings at schools i've attended, like most just dont give a rip one way or another), most of the general staff of the university would be conservative, but the professors and administration would be leftists/liberals.
While Michigan State University was liberal when my parents were students there in the '50's.
By the experiences recounted by my wife's daughter I would say VERY
Probably depends a lot on the courses that one takes, and the instructors.
10.
Considering Michael Moore spoke there, liberal.
The school paper is incredibly leftist, but big surpirse.
Go to University of Michigan, it's a much better school.
State is a party school.
Having graduated from both.
My opinion.
U of Michigan is a hornets nest of liberal teachers (not professors)who have not held a real job (meet payroll)
Michigan State University is more conservative, however, as an earlier poster said, its a matter of degree. The liberal arts program and under first two years of undergraduate and the teacher program suffer greatly from liberal brain cramp sickness.
I graduated from MSU's College of Education in 1995. My answer to your question is a resounding YES.
It's a liberal school, although not like U-M or Wisconsin Madison. Most MSU students are apolitical.
A lot of the politics depends on the department. The science classes I took didn't touch politics as all. I was a Poly Sci major and while most of them were lib, I only had one real bad joker I had to deal with. I also took a few classes there taught by Professor Bill Allen who is very conservative. If you are studying political science and can get into his classes, I recommend it.
BTW - The school paper there absolutely sucks.
UofM (University of Manama) is really conservative.
Listen to the monkey.....
Graduated MSU in 1991. Went through Army ROTC, wore my uniform around campus, and not one liberal remark. The only adverse reaction I received was from other guys, usually when they were trying to pick up women, like I was a threat to their masculinity by wearing the uniform.
Also knew the then-president of whatever the Gay Lesbian group was, and he knew me and my ROTC involvement. No adverse remarks were exchanged.
