Florida State University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Florida State University? Why?

Lauren

Since it is so big the departments do not have the same information. When you have a question you have to go to 5 different departments.

Daniel

I feel the worst thing about my school is that, even though the school has a lot of cultural and ethnic diversity, it does not do all it can to have students discover these. As a student however, you should push through and learn as much as you can. Sometimes just talking to a person with a different ethnic or cultural background then yourself can be a life changing experience. Florida State University is a wonderful place to have these opportunities.

Emily

The union/main campus cafeteria is out of date.

cassandra

Nothing

Taylor

I honestly can't think of something bad about FSU!

Luke

The profiteering off of students in all aespects. The quality of service, housing, food, tuition is much too low for the price students pay.

Taylor

The worst thing about my school if I had to choose would be the amount of people that live in th Talahassee area. There are a variety of different people and ages considering it is oth Florida's capital and a college town.

Danielle

The worst thing about FSU is that it has barely any coverage when the weather turns on you. Walking in the rain is a hassle to begin with, but having to take that walk through an entire campus of uneven terrain and construction can be very difficult.

David

The worst thing about my university is that there are very few professors that make students interested in the subjects they teach. Powerpoint usage is very high here, and interaction and teaching of practical knowledge is very low. While there are some really great professors here who really know how to teach well, there is a larger portion of professors who are just teaching so they can get their doctorate degree, so they are not as focused on really teaching the students.

Sarah

I think the worst thing about FSU is that it is very hard to get accepted to the programs and majors that are critical for the career you want. I have applied to a program within my major that is critical to being able to learn more and be successful in my career twice and still haven't been accepted. I have other friends who have applied to their major and been denied, leaving them to decide whether they have to transfer to another college or change their career because they can't get into their major or program.

Rabiya

There are a multitude of things. Particularly in how situations are handled and how institutitons such as the campus police department operate. I not only physically feel unsafe but emotionally and mentally I wouldn't rely on many of the departments at the university for aid. If you are not involved primarily in a way that funds the school (greek life or other) the school really has no concern for your well being. Especially if you are a minoritiy it seems as though the priority and stance the school has is favored to the majority.

Jessica

There are so many extracirruclar activities avaiable at Florida State University that sometimes the students forget the main reason why they are attending college: to get a degree.

Leonardo

Parking. If you're going to bring your car to Florida State, be aware you must leave your house at least one hour before your class begins. FSU is a great university to attend, yet a terrible place to park your vehicle with limited spaces in the garages.

Massiel

The worst thing i would consider about my school is the financial aide office just because i have had really bad experience with them.

daniel

I would have to say, just from a first year judgement, is the lack of caring from some general faculty, who are in positions where they're supposed to care. I've been to the career center four times, with four different people, who have suggested four different careers.

Mitchell

There always seems to be construction going on somewhere, and more often than not, it seems like it's right outside your classroom window when you're in the middle of a test or a teacher is explaining something important.

Clay

The worst thing about my school is the tuition. I was lucky to receive some financial aid for my academics but had it not been for that, iI would not have been able to attend tis awesome college.

Emma

FSU is a big party school. If people like to party it is great for them but some people just want to study and it makes it harder when the people around you do not care or are to hungover to pay attention.

Christian

too much focus on athlectics but they get our school money.

Kayleigh

In my opinion Florida State University has nothing unpleasant about it. If I had to name one thing off the top of my head it would have to be the line at the Financial Aid office at the beginning of each semester. But isn't that the same at any large university? Even before this football crazed school won the National Championship, the environment walking around campus and in the classrooms was very tranquil. Fellow teachers and students will always go out of their way to help one another.
