1. Don’t get your hopes up to see the Bolin Fountain looking like Old Faithful.
Administration closed the fountain during the years of drought; we're hoping it will be working again this fall!
2. The Wi-Fi is unreliable.
One cannot even begin to explain how much MyResNet will make you want to rip your hair out. ALWAYS PRESS SAVE.
3. IT DOES RAIN! Bring an umbrella!
4. Homecoming is a BIG deal!
Let me explain. If you thought your high school homecoming was fun, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Our activities range from bonfires, to lip sync, to a cardboard boat race, and everything is a competition when it comes to homecoming.
5. Greek stereotypes are NOT true!
Even though I've only been through one year at MSU, I've yet to see Greek drama unfold. The fraternities and sororities at MSU don't keep themselves confined to just the Greek community, hence why the stereotypes don't apply at Midwestern.
6. We have some crazy campus-wide games.
Let's just say, when it comes to games within the campus, our motto is "Go big or go home!"
7. You will crave fast food in the middle of the night.
It's highly unlikely that you have enough food stocked in your room, and when your stomach makes that familiar dying whale noise at 3 a.m., you don't have to check with mom and dad to leave. Just hop in the car and take your pick: IHOP, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, or Whataburger.
8. When it’s hot, it’s really hot, and when it’s cold, it’s really cold.
The weather at MSU clearly follows the bipolar Texas climate, but here in Wichita Falls we like to take things up a notch; you're either getting a sun burn or getting frost bite.
9. You will make some seriously awesome friends.
The small school atmosphere and outgoing student body make the possibilities of lifelong friends at MSU endless.
10. The campus is always beautiful.
It doesn't matter if it's raining, snowing, flooding, or sweltering heat, it's always a pleasure to just go out and watch the breathtaking beauty of the campus. I mean, just take a look above!
