   How it compares

   There are 2,515 universities in the United States, so Michigan State sits in a very crowded national field. Its scale comes from being a public land-grant research university with a wide programme list and facilities across the state, which makes it a practical choice for students comparing broad US public options rather than a very specialised institution.
