Florida State University Top Questions

I would have to say that there is nothing wrong with Florida State University. I love my school and nothing wrong with it.

I love my school so much and I wouldn't change anything about it except the finances. I feel as though being in college, the government should not be as harsh as they are with tuition. I have to struggle to suceed. It is hard, but my father says that I am only investing my future. I hate the amount, but I can understand why it costs so much.

How expensive it is if you don't receive a lot of financial aid.

I honestly can not think of anything. The only thing would be that I grew up a University of Miami fan and I am at Florida State University so that has been a weird transition.

Though I am a bit biased, I believe that Florida State University is the best school in the nation. However, if I have to point out one of its very few flaws, it would be that the immense size of Florida State University can be very intimidating. It was difficult for me to adjust to being a small fish in an extremely big pond. Still, I made friends in my classes, met my neighbors in my dorm, and joined clubs that allowed me to find people that made the big pond seem just a little bit smaller.

The lack of diversity. Many of the people there are very similar in terms of cultural background, social and political stance, interests, and general outlook on life. I consider this to be the worst thing at FSU because the college experience is supposed to broaden one's mind, not continue exposing it to ideas similar to the ones previously held. Furthermore, it can be a bit of a hostile environment for those who don't agree with or hold those ideas. The whole recent debacle regarding the school's quarterback, Jameis Winston, serves as a perfect example of this phenomenon.

The worst thing about my school is that the majority of the social life is focused around Greek Life.

The worst thing about my school is porbably the same as other schools, and that's that the students seem to idolize drinking. It's really not a whole lot of students but the ammount of people I have seen compromise themselves is sickening to me.

The only thing that I do not like about FSU is the lack of parking availibility on campus.

It's physical location in Tallahassee. Some areas can be very sketchy while others normal. Additionally, the hills make it easy to get out of breath walking around campus!

They raised tuition this year.

Nothing.

I would say the lack of afternoon classes. I work full time and it's hard for me to take classes that are offered mid day. It would be nice if there were more time selections offered, such as a evening class or early morning class. I definetly go to a more traditonal school meaning its appears to be for those who can go full time and may be younger with less responsibilities.

The worst thing about Florida State University, from my perspective, is that they did not accept classes in my program from my previous college. Therefore, I had to start over, retaking some classes and re-learning concepts. This has set me back by two years.

The on campus housing. Some of the people they allow to love on campous is horrific. I have only had terrible experiences and woudl not recommned them to anyone. The housing departmnet does nothing to address issues and you get the most difgusting, immature people that live there. It is miserable and uncomfortable. I complete robbery.

I used to think that the worst thing about FSU is that it is located in the boon docks with very expensive flights into Tallahassee or either an 8 hour car ride or 10 hour bus ride as the only options. While the options haven't changed, and never will, I LOVE being tucked away up there. I am an urban girl, love the big city, but found Tallahassee and FSU a perfect fit for me. Super nice community and very affordable rent and restaurants.

The worst thing about my school is the weather, which has nothing to do with the school. I'm from south florida so this cold weather, I'm not used to. But, besides that I love my school and I wouldn't change a thing.

The Florida State University is a wonderful school to attend. I think the worst thing about it would have to be the housing. Most of the residence halls require you to purchase a meal plan in order to live there, which are extremely expensive, and the food at the dining halls are not of high quality nor nutritious. There are a few residence halls that have mold and humidity problems, which are health concerns. Also, It is difficult to get Wifi connections in the older halls. Despite all this, the housing rates are quite expensive.

Im use to a smaller college, where the size of classes are smaller. Thus the teachers are able to work with you on a more personal note. FSU class sizes tend to be much bigger.

The worst thing about FSU is its administration. While it is still a good administration relative to other schools, FSU tends to make questionable decisions that many students do not understand regarding scheduling and construction.
