Welcome to MSU Law!

Congratulations, and welcome to Michigan State University College of Law! Starting law school is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially if you're new to East Lansing or moving from out of state.

The Student Bar Association (SBA) created this guide to help make your transition a little easier. Inside, you'll find practical tips on living in East Lansing, preparing for Michigan winters, saving money, finding local resources, and getting ready for your first semester.

We hope this guide helps you feel a little more prepared and a little more at home. Welcome to the Spartan legal community, and Go Green!
