Hi! Im Lilly, Im a junior studying human biology major on the pre-PA track! Im a michigander born and raised, when it was time to decide where to go to college I had no idea where to apply, but once I toured MSU I knew it was home!

MSU has so many hidden gems and some super awesome perks for students! I would be so happy to show you my favorite spots on campus plus the inside scoop on what going to school here is actually like!

Describe your college experience
Coming into college I was so nervous but within the first week I knew I belonged here. You meet so many new people and are able to experience so many new things. I have loved my college experience so far.
Tip for future students
Don't be afraid to ask someone for help, whether thats with classes or directions its not as scary as you think. Also do your best to stay on top of a routine, it will help you adjust better and keep you on top of completing assignments.
Favorite class
BS 171 was my favorite class I've taken at MSU. BS 171 is a laboratory that you take along side BS 161 which is a biology class. In the lab you get to learn about bacteria and different kinds of microorganisms that could be in and around campus. The lab was super interesting and I loved that you were hands on with everything.
Career goals
I plan on taking a gap year after college then attend PA school!
Ideal way to spend a free night
I love to either spend time with my friends and walk around campus or watch Friends in bed with a good snack!
High school or secondary school

Favorite spot on campus
The STEM building! I spend a lot of time there and the third floor by a window is my favorite spot to study. You can tell everyone in there is studying so hard and it really keeps me motivated to do my best! (plus the sparty's there is awesome)
