Florida State University Top Questions

Describe the students at Florida State University.

Tim

Students at FSU are generally more liberal than the average person. They are free spirited and like to have fun. There are people of every possible background and affiliation so there is plenty to experience. I don't think anyone would feel out of place. There is plenty of interaction between different groups as well. There are plenty of large school groups or clubs involved in politics. Income is not something people discuss much. People usually wear casual clothing, sometimes wearing school shirts or colors. A table of girls, usually gossiping, a table of guys, talking about sports or guy things, a table of liberal arts type people, and possibly a table of jock/sports type guys with girls. Most students are from Florida.

I think all students are accepted at this school. In regards to different groups of people, students here do have very strong opinions about their beliefs and group themselves accordingly. Students do react between groups but sometimes this causes tension. I think just as anyone with a strong opinion would be, these people are tolerant of other world views.

Marilyn

Determined individuals with realistic professional goals and (for the most part) level heads on their shoulders.

Julia

There are so many different students here at FSU. From blacks to hispanics to indians, you will always find someone new and interesting to say the least. There is a very prominet greek life here at FSU so there are many Frats and sorority girls around. There is also a very large amount of geeks as well. Walking around campus you will find some people with very werid outfits and different color hari but that always keeps things interesting. Most students are from Florida around the jacksonville, tampa, and south florida area. There are always many advertisment around campus trying to get you invovled with a club or organization, after a while it gets really old. Overall the students are very interesting but friendly every seems to have a similar understanding of why we are here.

Natalie

The majority of people here are from Florida which doesn't mean much since Florida is a pretty big state and has a lot of different cultures embedded in it such as southerners and Hispanics. But I have also met a lot of people from out of Florida-- I've met people from Boston, Chicago, and even from the Middle East and Greece. It's very nice to have such diversity. There are a lot of different religious, racial, LGBT and other personalized clubs and groups that are quite popular here as they become a supportive group but the different groups also mix well together. Everyone is pretty friendly on campus regardless of race, gender, orientation, or religion. There are also a lot of political groups that have displays and meetings but everything is pretty relaxed-- everyone is respectful and not in your face.

I simply cannot emphasize the diversity of Florida State's student population enough. I see new people walking around campus every day. As I walk by, I wonder what their stories are, what their majors are, what their family is like. I never see the same person twice, even if I walk the same route! There is a place for everyone to fit in - being a loner is an impossible feat here! Students wear everything from high heels to sweatpants when they go to class. A lot of students are from the state of Florida, but I have met students from Maryland, Georgia, New York, and even California!
