Florida State University Top Questions

It depends. Of course there are going to be people who fit any stereotype at any given school. People here do party, athletics are big, and we have a great film school, art school, theatre program, etc. So yes, the stereotypes are true.

These stereotypes are definitely not accurate. FSU is an amazing university where students work hard to achieve their goals and the school keeps their standards of excellence high.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! Seminoles have pride in FSU and we dont think, we KNOW that we're SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!! BETTER THAN ALL THE REST!

I would say a couple of them would be to an extent, but that is only the certain group of people, so it doesnt apply to the school as a whole.

Absolutely not. Although, like many of the students here, I also did apply to UF, but my choice to go here was the best one I ever made. Our academic programs are amazing and many of them are stronger than UF's. Just because UF has a good medical school doesn't meant that they're the best school in the state of Florida. As for being alcoholics? I don't think so, I rarely drink personally, and I know many who don't. It's a personal choice and if you want to avoid that scene you can and if you don't then it's there for you. And the girls are not slutty, they're just nice. People at FSU are super nice and down to earth, unlike other colleges in this state where the girls are generally stuck up.

There are a lot of parties but that is at ANY college. And, like any college there are people that are extremely smart and people that aren't. Not all students that go to FSU got rejected by UF; most students didn't even apply to UF because they didn't want to go.

NO! We do party, but not everyone is irresponsible about it. In fact, most everyone has a DD, takes a cab, uses the Night Nole, etc, and there are MANY of us that are NOT alcoholics or binge drinkers. Academics are incredibly important. If they weren't, why would we be wasting our time and money? WE WOULDN'T!!! The differene is we are just better at balancing the two and being successful at both! Athletics and extracurriculars are very important to us, but they are not everything. and FYI- most of us chose to go here because we wanted to, not because we didn't get in somehwere else. I got in to every school I applied to, FSU was just the best fit and right place for me, and this is true for everyone I know here.

- Yes. There are a lot of kids from Miami, but if that bothers you you can stay way from them. There are a lot of different people at FSU also. - While I don't know that it is a fact that FSU is one of the top party schools. I am able to concentrate on

No the stereotypes aren't true. They are to an extent however. FSU students drink and party, but we keep our academics first. If we don't than we wouldn't have success that comes from all of our students. As for the reject school, it really isn't true. Some people may have had another school as their first choice, but for me, Florida State was my first choice. Greeklife is hard to explain. Each fraternity or sorority has a different group of men and women so not all are rich and snobby. Yes it is expensive, but I have met the most warm hearted people in my sorority. Stereotypes can be formed because of one person who represents something. So when someone sees that ONE person who only drinks and parties, that ONE person who only came to FSU because they couldn't get in their top choice school, or that ONE person who is rich and snobby and happens to be in a fraternity or sorority, they misinterpret majority at FSU.

To a point. There are just as many drunkards as there are sober individuals. As a lady I like to think in general we are pretty, but I have to say the guys are pretty good looking in general too.
