East Lansing Travel Guide: 60 reviews and 61 photos

East Lansing is where I make my home, it is also one of my favorite destinations. Apparently other think so as well, because many Michigan residents make regular visits to East Lansing and MIchigan State University's campus. Both the campus and the city are like a giant park with lots of recreation opportunities that hosts a very friendly multi-cultural community.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Inexpensive, Lots of Recreation Opportunities, Friendly Locals
Cons:Winter is Damn Cold!
In a nutshell:The Perfect Midwest College Town

The first time I ate at this good Indian restaurant, I tried the Chicken Korma. It was to die for. The Naan bread is good, too. I have also tried the lunch buffet, which I don't think lives up to the dinner standards of this restaurant.

Excellent advice. I just came here for school and I agree with 99% of what you have to say. Keep adding more tips. I'm listening.
