Being able to prioritize study time with your social life. This would be the biggest issue I believe most students have when coming to FSU. FSU has a plenthora of extracurricular activities and interest groups to become involved with. With that said, there is always something going on each and every night of the week so being able to prioritize your time correctly so that you do get your coursework done is a huge problem. I believe most students figure this out by the end of the first semester.

I thoroughly enjoyed my college experience at FSU and wouldn't change much. The campus is beautiful and the sports atmosphere was vibrant. I enjoyed the courses I took and most of my professors.

The most frustrating thing about my school is havign to deal with the current slanders coming from the media.
