Florida State University Top Questions

Florids State University has a very friendly atmosphere. It's a very beautiful campus with nice car free walkways for student to get to class easily. I'm in a limited access program here and I have all my classes with everyone in my major. It's really nice because we can all study together. I've met some of the nicest andgreatest friends here!

My school has the comforts of home, in that it is in the same state as my parents home and I can still qualify for the Bright Futures award (which I desperately needed to attend college), yet it is far enough north that is almost like living in another state. I feel like I can grow and become my own person away from home here, but if I get too homesick it is only a few hours drive to get back to my moms arms. My school offers all the opportunites I need to succeed and prosper.

We offer over 500 student run clubs and organizations, so there is a place for everybody. Also, a unique aspect about our school is that you can swim in all of the fountains on campus. We also have a meditation room.

Being a Florida State Seminole is an honor. Our campus acts as a family unite. The heart of FSU is created by its students. I love being apart of a university that values each of its students. Florida State is unique because of the warm family feelings you get when you step on the campus. All of the students and faculty seem to understand how important it is to earn a college education and to feel apart of something bigger than yourself. I love FSU and the values Vieres, Artes and Mores and how important they are in life.

The marching band and strong music department drew me to FSU.

Florida State is a large campus but still small enough to walk to every class. It is very easy to get to know your way around quicker.

The teachers are all very helpful not only during office hours but also before and after. the campus is beautiful! i feel safe

Well Iwas hoping to rave about how great my last school was--Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. The community there is passionate about the environment and about experiencing the great outdoors. I felt at home there, being with other people who care about the environment and the world on the same level as me, and people who are into old-timey living. My friends and I passed the time picking fruit and going to farmers markets, contra dancing, knitting, gardening, playing violins and fiddles and guitars...You don't see that around Tallahassee. It's a different scene.

The school pride, tradition, and achievements in many departments of the school.

The theatre program is amazing. They have amazing performances that stun me time and time again.

I'm not sure.

The friendliness.

Well, it is bigger than many schools I looked at. And it had a great creative writing program and that was something I need. And when I came here I felt like it was a second home. It has a great undergraduate program so new students get the help they need and then some.

It is in the capital of Florida. Being in north Florida there is a lot more change in seasons therefore the environment and suurounding areas is always changing and is vastly different than much of the state.

As a Dance major, many colleges I considered focus completely on a full-driven schedule and no time to breathe. FSU provides academic advisors that make time for individual students to help them balance out their schedule in a way that will help them keep up their GPA while enjoying school at the same time, and has built a campus-oriented community so that there is always something going on and you will never get bored or feel unproductive. Students here absolutely love to live on campus, unlike most universities, and learn to build strong relations and bonds everywhere.

Florida State is historically based. Anywhere you walk, the architecture, the pictures on the poles, the brick roads (our version of the yellow brick road in the Wizard of OZ), the statue of our first African American homecoming queen and you can’t forget the Osceola statue in front of Doak Campbell Stadium. When I took the tour, I was just amazed on how pretty it really was. The others schools didn’t feel like home. For me, the sense of belonging was from the moment I stepped onto campus. That’s the only true difference. Home.

Most schools that I considered were rather large and had a very poor student-to-faculty ratio. My school, however, is big enough to have many of the typical college opportunities, yet small enough that students get the help/attention they need in classes. As a physics major, I know that being able to interact closely with classmates and professors is very beneficial. I feel that in bigger schools, a good number of students don't have this unique advantage.

We're the Seminoles. I feel unique just by being able to say that. Our football games are a blast, and the school spirit we have is unbelievable.

What is really unique about FSU is the general happiness of the students. Everyone Ive ever met on campus is happy and proud to be a Seminole. This school treats each other like a giant family, thus making the atmosphere the most unique I've ever seen.

It's a large university but the campus feels small and manageable and has a college feel
