No matter where you decide to attend college, I highly recommend getting involved! Whether it's with your church, student government, or going greek, getting involved helps shrink down the school to make you feel at home. Personally, I decided to go greek so I could make some good friends and keep myself busy. I think this was the best decision I've made at college because if I hadn't joined a sorority, I would have never made so many good friends.

Some of the most popular groups on campus are human rights organizations, spirit organizations, and political organizations. I am involved with a spirit organization on campus that paints war stripes on people's faces. We do community service and also have socials. Football and basketball games are very popular. A guest speaker this past year was Eli Weisel, and the dance department puts on show regularly. Dorm rooms are fun, and people typically keep their doors unlocked when they are home. I met my closest friends in my dorm! If I am awake at 2 AM during the week, it most likely means I am studying, but since the library is open 24 hours, it can be a social process.

By far, the most popular student activity is attending football games. Most students look forward to every fall semester and the whole university revolves around those Saturday games. Many students are actively involved in clubs and organizations directed toward their goals. For instance, there are several pre-health organizations that help the community tremendously. Though students do what they have to do for their classes and their future, many want to have fun during the weekends as well. If you're into the party scene, there is something to do every single night. Whether it is a bar or a fraternity party, it is not difficult to find something to do. Greek life is a big part of Florida State and you can constantly see students wearing clothing representing their organization. However, the university offers many activities for those that do want to drink. The Student Life Cinema features movies foe to six nights a week, there are festivals on campus a few times every semester, and there is a bowling alley on campus that is constantly packed with students. Those that attend Florida State are always open to meeting new people and the university features many events that make this an easy process.

In a school of 40,000, you can find anything and everything. Volunteer organizations, intramural teams, greek life, - absolutely anything. I'm involved with an Emergency Medical Response program on campus - something rather unique to this university.

Most popular organizations would be major related or political related, this includes student government.
I'm involved with ASCE, a group for civil engineers who want to get experience with real world engineers and network.
Some students leave their doors open, but most do not.
Athletic events are very very popular and many students do not miss them. FSU also have a popular movie theater.
Dating is very much what you make of it, its there if you want it.
I met my best friends through classes and clubs.
At 2am on a Tuesday I'd either be coming home from a get together with friends or in my room reading online.
The most traditional event at FSU is the Fall Football season.
People party very frequently! Greek life is not necessarily important, it is it's own niche and they stick to themselves. Last weekend I partied, went to some bars, and studied with my classmates.
There are many alcohol free options, movies, sport events, and just relaxing with friends. You can do what ever you like, no one really cares what you do.

Greek life is probably the most popular student group. Also the athlectis are are very prominet. The dorm rooms are kind of gross but you meet many people there and do many dorm activties. Going out is always the biggest activity. Everyone is alwasy out on a Thursday night and people are every where getiing drunk. Even during the week alot of people go out to thebars and have a good time. it is a very big party school but you can choose if you want to go ut or not. You can do alot of other things without drinking like go bowling or watch a movie or go to a resturant. Drinking is very big here though, tailgates can get crazy and the bars scene is very fun. I meet my closet friend in my sorority and now i live with them and go out alot with them. I have meet many people by socializing within the greek life and love going out with people.

The most popular groups/organizations on campus are the recreational clubs and intermural sports. FSU is a very active college participating in various sports and teams around campus. I'm mostly involved in honor societies and pre-health orgainzations which are preparing me for medical school and beyond. Athletic events are extremely important to FSU, each student loves to cheer on the Seminoles! Currently, I'm not in the dating scene, but their are plenty of people that are and they are easy to find! I met my closest friends at FSU through the random roomate matching done by the residence halls; I love my new roomates!! Students at FSU deffinantly party and weekends (and even weekdays) are a lot of fun!! Greek life is a subsection of FSU, you don't have to be in it but it does help broading the horizon in order to meet new people.
