Florida State University Top Questions

I would have to say the worst thing about FSU is that there is limited parking for the amount of students attending the campus.

The worst thing about Florida State University is that is has a reputation for being a "party school". I am sure that this has clouded many people's minds when considering attending this school. It is important that parents and prospective students remember that not everyone that attends this univeristy is going to become a teenage alcohol. Yes, there is peer pressure to drink but if you can keep focused and be yourself, then you are able to "Just say NO" and are repected for it. In the long run, you will find many students that don't drink.

The worst thing about the school is the parking situation. If you get to school late it is extremely difficult to find a parking spot. I have been late to class many times because I was unable to find a place to park. Which is bad since I live off campus.

The worst thing about Florida State's social environment is the focus on alcohol consumption. While not all students drink, the majority of the campus chooses to base their social activities on drinking. However, in the school's favor, since being ranked as one of the top party schools in the country, Florida State has done a large amount of promoting activities that do not involve alcohol. Whether this will affect the typical behavior of the average student will be yet to be determined.

graduate students teaching the majority of my classes; or atleast half. sometimes the greek life was a little much, and they seemed to be very conforming.

The worst thing at Florida State University is that there is always so much activity going on that it is sometimes difficult to stay focused. Activities are constantly in effect on campus as well as the surrounding area, being that Florida State is in the heart of downtown Tallahassee. There are so many extra-curricular clubs and enjoyable things to do on campus, while off-campus there are clubs, theatres, and much more nearby that sometimes become distractions. The bottom line is that it is important to remember that academics are first, or a student loses sight of important goals.

there is not enough parking, and it is a hassle if you have a later class, because it can take an hour to find a parking spot!

Safety concerns lately. They are working on it though.

the hills on campus

The worst thing about my school are all the distractions.

The football team has been bad for the past three years.

class sizes are up there in numbers.

There are a lot of old, nasty apartment buildings on the edge of the campus, practically inside of it. This is the last thing I want to see when I'm strolling around campus. The campus is right in the middle of downtown Talahassee, FL, where traffic is HORRIBLE so don't even bring your car, and if you do, leave it parked!! You will never get to class!!

I think the influence of sororities and fraternities on campus has become overwhelming. I was not involved in either and still had a wonderful experience in college, however there are those that feel obligated to join. Also the alcohol consumption outside of the classroom and off campus is truly frightening. My neighbor in off campus housing had a keg party every night and I became an insomniac because of the noise levels! I would change the type of activities that are offered off campus to lower the alcohol consumption.

Location.

It is easier to become a number than be a name at this school. It is difficult to stand out among students because there are so many bright students.

The worst thing about my campus is the bus system. I live off campus without a car and rely on the bus to get me to class. The bus is rarely on time , confusing, and usually very overcrowded so if I could change anything at this school I would change the bus system.

The classes are to big and not enough parking

The parking. It seems there are more students driving to school than there are parking spots. However the university does offer a very efficient shuttle system.

There are too many TA's teaching classes at this university. Some are pretty good, but there is a shocking amount of meiocrity and just plan aweful teaching ability amoung them. It really makes the learning process hit or miss. Sometimes I feel as if I got ripped off in certain classes.
