The first picture is of the Sparty statue inside the main floor lobby area . You are able to sit down next to the statue and take a selfie. This can be a very nice building to hang out in. Also located in this building is the the Spartan Spirit Shop, The Sparty's Mini Market, an information booth,and a Michigan State Federal Credit Union also located on the first floor. The other photo is of a pumpkin in a tree on the M.S.U.campus. read more

See all

Every time we are in town for a game, my wife has to stop here. She's and alumnus and this place means a lot to her. It's got a lot going on, Credit Union, Spartan Swag Store, Ice Cream Shop, Convenience Store, Bowling Alley, Food Court, Study Lounge, and a Bronze Sparty. Sometimes it gets a little busy on game day, but it really feels like you are deep in the heart of MSU when you visit. read more

Two words: Women's Lounge. The Union is on the Grand River side of Campus at the end of M.A.C. (stands for Michigan Agricultural College) Avenue, so that makes it extremely well located. The Union is a huge building with lots of amenities: coffee shop, food - mostly franchise fast food concessions now. Gone are the days that the school actually ran the food operations. There's a post office, a barber shop, and even a bowling alley. They post the honor role there - which is very important to those who are on it. But you want to know what I like most about the Student Union? Of course I'll tell you two things. One, they have these table tops that are from the 1950s and they used to be in the cafeteria there - they hang on the wall now. Anyway, these wooden table tops are about 6 feet in diameter and very thick. They are totally covered with hand carved graffiti - people's names, Greek letters, dates, sayings, etc. They are like communal art and are really incredible. The other thing, and this is what I like absolutely best about the MSU Union, is the fact that they have a woman's lounge - just for, yeah you guessed it...women. Men shall not pass through these doors. I don't belong to anything that is "all this" or "all that". Come to think of it, I don't really belong to anything really; not much of a joiner. But, in an age where political correctness and total equality and uggg homogination are the way to be, I love the fact that a huge institution is able to withstand the onslaught and respect the old ways in a way that harms no one (my opinion). There's even a sign on the door commemorating the fact that the MSU Women's Lounge was founded in 1925 and is a haven of peace and relaxation. Damnit, don't we all just need to take a chill pill sometimes. read more

The union itself is a great building, full of great resources for students. That being said, I attended a wedding recently that was held in the Gold room and was not pleased with the food provided by the Union caterers. I had the vegetarian option which was a lasagna which tasted worse than Lean Cuisine. The waiters were helpful in providing us with directions to the nearest liquor store, but I'm not sure that I would host an event there, solely because of the quality of the food. The room alone was just fine. read more

This place is a great place to come to sit around and lounge around on those lazy sundays. There's a food court, a bowling alley and a computer lab. I always came here for the food court and meetings. They offer free meeting rooms for students. read more

With continuing renovations, the Union has never looked so good. I hope the continued renovations keep the ball rolling. Conveniently located in West Circle on MSU's campus, the Union has a host of services that benefit MSU students and staff: food court, Sparty's, Biggby, MSUFCU, bowling alley, barbershop, computer lab, study area, Women's Lounge, and more. The Union additionally has a large number of ballrooms and conference rooms available for reservation along with catering service. If you're looking for a Sparty, the MSU Student-Alumni Foundation is located on the 3rd floor; no joke, you can pay to have Sparty show up at events! read more

Love the Union!!! This is got to be my favorite at place to hang out at school. There is air conditioning, Biggby coffee, union square food court, union store, and lots of lounge space to kick back, relax and get work done for classes. Though, my favorite spot in the union in the Women's Study lounge. Sorry boys!!! This is a girls only lounge where you can study in peace and quiet for your classes. Love the union!!!! read more
