Once you're a Seminole, you're always a Seminole. I know that no matter where I am or what I need, someone will always be there to provide for me. There is a bond there that will hold, no matter how many miles separate myself and my life-long friends.

Florida State has so many incredible opportunities available to its students. From various places to study abroad and a lively collegiate athletics program to small, on-campus clubs and groups, FSU offers the best of the best to those who truly value a good education. A great balance of work and play, the Tallahassee community is truly a ?college town,? and is something that those who wish to expand their horizons should experience.

The school spirit here is amazing. Football season is one of the best things you'll ever experience. At first I was nervous about coming to such a large school, but the school spirit helps bring everyone together.

Brittney

The best thing about FSU is the resources available to students. By resources I mean all of the places to study and all of the studying tools available to students. There are also thousands of groups that students can join to meet other students and also to branch out into volunteer work, especially volunteer work that relates to your major. There are also some opportunities that can be added to your resume that will help when it comes time for applying to jobs.

The campus is absolutely beautiful, and it is a very close-knitted community because of how small Tallahassee is.

Wilson

The best thing about my school is the student body. The people are active and passionate about the school. School spirit fills the air during game days and school events such as homecoming and concerts. The people are always friendly and appraochable. They are sociable and always open to meeting and making new friends. School clubs and Greek life are a highlight of our school and is a great way to network.

Natasha

Florida State University allows students to choose from a wide variety of courses and majors. Students who are undecided have the chance to explore different fields and discover what they are destined to do in the future. The faculty and staff were always helpful in taking time outside of class to answer questions and steer students in the right direction. I feel this way because I always had support from teachers and academic advisors who provided access to information necessary to allow me to receive the best possible education.

Sara

The best thing about our school is our school spirit. Although our football team was not amazing this year, there were still a lot of students in the student section at the games. When everyone does the Warchant, it gives me chills, it is so cool to watch. At the women's soccer games it was almost impossible to find a good seat unless you got to the game very early. School spirit is definetly a major part of this school, and it is my favorite part.

Stephanie

The greatest trait that Florida State University has is its history. Founded in 1851 as an all girls college, and located literally minutes from the capital building of Florida, there is so much value with in the culture of FSU. That value carries over into the spirit of the students and alumni too. The pride and respect for the university and its campus really helps an individual to get excited about being a part of such an outstanding school!

Amber

My school is extremely social and offers many opportunities to get involved! This helps create a good network for students for the classroom and a healthy social life. Also, free tutoring for most subjects is offered and the professors are very encouraging!

India

I think that the best thing about Florida State University is it's school spirit. At the football games, the stands are filled with students who are painted all over or wearing Florida State outfits from head to toe, or even some who dress up as a actual seminole Indian. The crowd cheers on the players and everyone is equally involed in the game. The Nole Chant is screemed all through out the game and every game is high in spirit and no matter if we win or lose just being at the game is worthwhile.

Lauren

I absolutly love the campus! It is beautiful and it truly feels like a college. Florida State University also has a campus where classes and dorms are very close. It takes about 25 minutes or so to walk from one side of the campus to the other.

Amy

The accessiblility of extracirricular activities is definitely the best thing about this school. The school actually wants you to become an active member in the FSU community as well as in the overall Tallahassee community. There is a career center where a plethora of volunteer, job, and internship opportunities are available. In addition, there are a large amount of intramural sports ranging from bowling to rugby.

David

The variety and breadth of academic courses available to students. My current schedule includes classes on political science research design, national security studies, advanced spanish grammar, computer music/audio production, and macroeconomics. There are so many possibilities for bettering yourself intellectually, and sometimes it is frustrating knowing that I will not be able to take advantage of every opportunity that is here for me.

Jenna

At Florida State University we take pride in our significantly respectful staff. While deciding between a school in reference to class size and student teacher relationships, you may seem skeptical about attending a large university because of the class size. However, I have learned that professors offer an extensive amount of office hours. This allows for more detailed and personal assistance, as well as allocates the student to become acquainted with the professor. In return for your presence during office hours, the relationship between your professors can aid in your search for recommendations for admission into graduate school.

Jenna

I feel like it offers me the best opportunities to maximize my college experience, in both my studies and my social life. I have always been driven to do well in school, so when I need to crack down and study I actually enjoy going to the library; it offers study rooms, snacks during exam week, and just has a very inviting environment. In my free time, there's tons of things to do :whether I want to go to a club, just lay out on our beautiful green, or go bowling (with tons of free transportation to get everywhere!)

Brian

A clean and productive environment provides me with a sense of pride. Florida State University has dozens upon dozens of resources for their students to use. With all the free resources offered by the university I feel it is extremely easy to find any assistance you require. From the late night tutors in the libraries to the dozens of on-campus study session, Florida State University has countless resources to guide its students towards academic success.

Toni-Rose

The best thing about my school is that we are unified in school spirit, the Seminole Pride. There is a great amount of tradition behind our school. Alumni, current students, and faculty come together to celebrate FSU.

The school spirit is infectious. The variety of activities and level of enthusiasm for each one is surprising. There are tons of ways to get involved, whether it be academic or social.
