MSU Real Life

At Michigan State University, morals and values are put to the test everyday. Students have to make choices based on what's best for them. To go out and party or stay in and study? To spend money on books or on alcohol? To get into a relationship or to live the single life? Being in the college atmosphere, we might not always make the best choices. But there are some students on MSU's campus who have found a way to work through these temptations.

MSU's Real Life is a weekly meeting on campus among all the Christian Bible study groups both on and off-campus. It's a chance for students to come together, pray, sing and socialize with other Christians on campus.

MSU student Mallory Flanders said, “Real life brings me back to Christ. It brings me back to reality instead of the life I try to live in this world.” 


Jake MacLean, MSU Student and Christian leader on campus, said being a part of the world at MSU is such an opportunity and there are many different desires to have. “At Michigan State, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want.”


“It’s awesome being a Christian at Michigan State because you have to be a Christian, you can’t be a half Christian. You have to choose to either step out or go out and party away,” said MacLean. 


A great way to keep your faith in college is to get involved in a student organization, like campus crusades, where people share your same beliefs and values, said Richie Christie, MSU Student. 

“These are great communities of people with the same beliefs and values. These people are there for you when you’re struggling,” said Christie. 

MSU also has a religious advising system for students who may be struggling with faith or just want to find out more about a variety of religious organizations on campus.
