Love This Place

FSU is the best place to go to school in the south! It's located in the capital of Florida and it is a sweet, charming college town. You definitely have to learn to balance your social and academic life early, because if you don't you will might have a rough time here. Overall great school, great athletics, and one amazing experience.

Great Way to Meet People!

The best part of FSU housing is definitely the Living Learning Communities. They make meeting people so much easier, and your overall college experience so much more fun. If you are interested in an LLC, definitely apply for one!
