Florida State University Top Questions

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

Amberlyn

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.

Cindy

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!
