Student Life
James Madison College students play a prominent role in the political life of Michigan State University. Madison students form the majority of the leadership of both the Michigan State College Republicans and College Democrats; The Associated Students of Michigan State University; as of 2008, the College Republicans have begun to meet in Case Hall. James Madison also has its own student senate which acts as a liaison between faculty and students. Various other political groups — such as the university chapters of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Young Democratic Socialists, and the MSU chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom; all meet in Case Hall and have a disproportionately Madison membership. Many Madison students are also involved in Model United Nations, including a competitive travelling team as well as a high school MUN conference held on campus every spring.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“here
to this college on the hill above Harlem
I am the only colored student in my class.”
—Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
“O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than nature needs,
Man’s life is cheap as beast’s. Thou art a lady;
If only to go warm were gorgeous,
Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear’st,
Which scarcely keeps thee warm. But, for true need—
You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
