Florida State University Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is the abysmal amount of available parking, but on the plus side it is free, or included in the tuition.

The worst thing I consider about Florida State is that some classes can be over 500 students. This is the worst thing for me because sometimes I feel that the professors can easily forget about you or don't really take the time to remember you as a student. That is why I always try and make a point to get to know my professors and take part in discussions so if I do need to talk to them after class they know who I am.

the repetitive food in the dinning halls and the weather.

There is a lack of communication between administrators, professsors, advisors, and students. It is almost impossible to find something out because everyone you go to will give you a different answer to what should be a simple question.

Thw worst thing about the school would have to have been the neighborhood in which it was located, though this problem is impossible to fix.

The class sizes. The way the Univeristy is set up I had 300 student in my math class. This makes it very difficult to listen and pay attention. It also makes the classroom very imersonable. I know that this is what all University are like but that is the one thing that I thought was the worst part.

The parking. It's really hard to find a parking spaces.

The worst things is parking, finding a spot can be more challenging than taking a test in organic chemistry.

I don't think there is any one thing that is the worse. Like all schools, there are always a multitude of factors that tend to drive down the "likability" of a school. As previously stated, the most prominent factor is probably students' attitudes towards learning. I know that I am a part of that to some degree, so some of FSU's faults are also my faults as well.

I would have to say the distribution of financial aid is the area that needs the most reform. Many students on campus receive net financial aid sums of up to thousands of dollars while others, such as myself, who have made exceptional marks in academics throughout high school must PAY thousands of dollars just to attend just because they did not graduate high school in that state, even though they may be more deserving. Yes some students' financial backgrounds may be unfortunate, but I still believe that some receive excess funds that could be used to help finance others' education.

Parking on campus can be a real chore. Often, it makes you late for class and/or you wind up with a parking ticket. Transportation in general can be very time consuming.

There is really not enough effort from students to do well in school. The focus here is to party and see if you can remember enough the following day to pass your test. Also, there is a lack of consistency in the quality of TAs; some are very good, others very very bad.

The worst thing about my school is that they spend money in the worst places instead of in needed places.. For example, new clocks were installed around campus about a year ago. I passed one yesterday and it didn't even work.

I truly don't have a worst thing about Florida State. Since transfering here in the spring everyone has been really nice, the classes are fantastic, and I can tell that this is the place I was meant to be. There are downsides such as large class sizes and the large campus, but those things do not outweigh the great educational experience I am having at Florida State.

The worst aspect of Florida State is the budget situation. In the past two and a half years since I enrolled in the univeristy, there have been several changes to the cirriculum and staff that have ultimately had negative effects on my learning experience. Excellent professors have been let go, entire majors have been removed, and lab/material quality has gone down. Now, the finnancial situation has affected some areas of study more significantly than others, but I believe university's economic shifts can be seen and felt by all students and staff.

I would argue that the worst thing about my school is my dormitory. It is generally considered to be the worst one on campus, and for good cause. There is often a bad smell that infiltrates our halls and rooms, and it seems as if there is a constant supply of dirt or grime in the corners of both the rooms and halls no matter how hard the cleaning staff or my roommate and myself attempt to remove it.

I don't really see it as a "bad" thing, but at my school there are a lot, a lot, a lot, of students. So if you're uncomfortable in large classes, then you might want to go to another school. Although there are also some classes that can have only 20 students, most of them are on the larger side.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the heavy dependance on sororities and fraternities to be social. I am not in a sorority but have made many friends and enjoy my social life tremendously. However, I know that a lot of other students are intimidated by them.

the parking is the worst

I think the worst thing about Florida State University is the partying. Tallahassee is a huge party town, which makes it easier for college students to go out and party. I think sometimes some students feel pressured to go out because Tallahasse is such a big party town.
