My school is best know for pride and tradition. Walking around campus it is clear that the students are proud to be attending this university and professors are proud to be teaching here. It is almost like an unspoken bond shared between students and faculty and the pride in the university is unmistakable. Sporting events create an unforgettable experience. Hearing the war chant echoing through the stadium brings me goosebumps just thinking about. My school is rich with tradition and pride in everything that we do.

Florida State University is well-known for our traditions and loyalty to our school and team, as well as our diverse student body. We have some of the most widely known traditions and connection with the Seminole Indian Tribe makes them that much more meaningful. The last few years, our student body has faced many tragedies and obstacles, but has remained united through it all.

Their academic achievements and the standard to which they hold themselves. Football, and the partying. Music department and their design as well as film and theatre programs. FSU is very strong in the arts, as well as varsity sports. Brick buildings, and an outrageous school spirit.

Jenee

My school is best known for their sports. Specifically, our football team. Our Seminoles are nationally recognized because we play so well! For 2 straight years, from 2012 until the Semifinal championship in January of 2015, we were undefeated. We won 29 straight games, including the National Championship! In the 2014-2015 season we saught after another National title, but we fell short to Oregon in the Rose Bowl. I feel like football connects the entire community together as one. The feeling of everyone in one huge arena, all wearing garnet and gold, cheering on the Seminoles is simply indescribable.

Alicia

Florida State is recently best known for its championship-winning football team, and even those like myself who are not big sports fans can still get a thrill from all of the energy, excitement, and spirit at the games. FSU is also well-known for its incredible liberal arts programs, like its English department and amazing school of music. These are more applicable to myself, as I am a Creative Writing and Music major.

Summer

Florida State is best known for being a huge party school. Every time I would tell someone, "I go to Florida State," his or her response would typically be, "No way! I bet it's crazy there!" And yes, it is. I honestly do not know how student's pass their classes because every day the number one question is, "Are you going out tonight?" I suppose for some students that lifestyle is appealing, but for me there is more to work towards, and far too much to lose.

Danielle

Its spirit !!! FSU has an amazing support group behind not only its athletes and their sports, but also behind the school itself. Alumni and faculty continue to give support and love to their school alongside its current students. You can ask almost anyone who knows about the school and they will tell you that the Seminoles sure know how to show their spirit, whether it be the Garnett and Gold guys or the traditional Chief Osceola with his spear at all the football games. We exude spirit and I am proud to call myself a Florida State Seminole.
