If You Need a Computer, You Can Find One

There are PLENTY of computers on campus. It's just a matter of finding them. Of course the library is usually crowded, but people are usually never in the Johnston Ground. As for Wi-Fi, the dorms don't have it. Every where else does, but not the dorms. That's definitely frustrating when many devices run solely on Wi-fi.

Greek Life Is Very Popular

The greek life on campus is overly active, sometimes overwhelming non greek student. For the most part they are socially the most important thing on campus, a lot of people are looked down on for not being a part of greek life.

Florida State University's Student Population

The students at FSU are extremely versatile. I am a dance major and am usually grouped together with the other dance majors. Most of the students in my major are very artistic and tend to dress either casually, athletically, or creatively. There are many students involved in greek life, who have tendencies to look and dress very nicely- focusing on what is most in style to wear, etc. The general social life of the FSU population is very busy and outgoing. People are constantly caught up in school work, jobs, or extra-curricular activities. When they have free time, many students go out to clubs, bars, and house parties. A great place to really catch a glimpse of our student diversity is to go to the student Union on a Wednesday afternoon. There you will find all kinds of guys and girls trying to promote a cause, an organization, or a team. I think it is a fun atmosphere where you can notice that FSU has a wide range of people on campus with many looks, interests and focuses.

AWFUL

Parking is Florida State's worst feature. There are not nearly enough spots. Atleast 20 cars get tickets in each parking lot across campus every day.

Parking Is a Joke

There are not nearly enough parking spaces for students who live on campus. It's a fight to ensure a spot to park.

Solid Gym

Towards the beginning of each semester the gym is filled to capacity; however, as time progresses people drop out and allow more space and less wait.

Beautiful and Always Growing

We always have construction zones. That is my only complaint about the brick-walled historically beautiful camups. I see the constant construction projects as a sign that the school is growing, always needing more dorms, smoother sidewalks, and safer roads. Because everything is maintained well, all the facilities look so clean. The gym is about five or more times the size of the YMCA I worked out in near my high school. Besides, I can grab a green tea from Starbucks on the walk back to my dorm to recharge. One of the most friendly places on campus is the Stroizer Library, fondly known as Club Stroz. The whole first floor is always buzzing with gossip allowing the second and third floors to be overflowing with space for students to get serious work done- even at 2am!

Campus

Florida States campus is loved and adored by all of the students. Florida State makes their facilities accessible to everyone and provide the best services for its students. All the facilities get students involved on campus. The student center always has something new everyday bringing in all different types of people together. The general campus is clean and gives off a warm feeling due to the schools involvement with the students. Theres an activity for everyone on campus you can never get bored because theres so many things to choose from.

Fsu

Is the best campus, it works really hard to give everyone something to do or get involved with.

Tallahassee

Everyone is super friendly and mostly college students. There is always something going on at the campus or even downtown.

It SUCKS!!

If you don't get to school before 9.. there is no parking left. I always have to leave for class an hour early especially at the beginning of each semester just to ensure a parking space! For the amount of students that attend FSU you would think they would have more student parking and less staff parking/construction.

Student Center and Libraries

The Strozier library is open 24 hrs a day Monday thru Friday. It is also open over the weekend for about 8-10 hrs. The campus has a student life center which offers free movies, game night and socials. Love the social life at the campus.

DIVERSITY ON FSU CAMPUS

THERE IS A BIG MIX OF PEOPLE THAT GO TO SCHOOL HERE.. THE ONE THING IN COMMON THAT ALL THE STUDENTS THAT GO THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY HAVE IS THAT THEY ARE SMART AND TAKE THEIR CLASS WORK VERY SERIOUSLY AND ARE WILLING TO LEARN.

Horrible Parking

If you want parking, get there early. There are not nearly enough spots for everyone.

Facilities on Campus

The libraries on campus are great, they are clean and well kept. Theres always something to do on campus with their wide range of activities. Theres intramural sports for everyone and being involved in greek life always keeps you busy. While walking to class everyday I think about how lucky I am to attend such a beautiful university. Florida State's campus is beyond gorgeous and its well kept. Some people even think theres a strong resemblance between the campus and Harry Potter's Hogwarts

Awful Parking

There are plenty of parking spots during the weekend, but during the week it is terrible! It might take up to 20 minutes to find a single spot...

I Love Our Facilities

Our facilities are very nice and very inviting. Our gym is state-of-the-art, and our union, although not brand new, has plenty to see and do; there are countless food vendors, places to study, shops, even a bowling alley and night club!

GAAAAAAAH

THERE ARE NEVER ANY SPOTS! Parking is atrocious. Usually I end up parking a 15 minute walk away from my dorm even though there is a big parking lot right behind it. Luckily you get a free parking decal and freshman can have there cars though. If you can't follow basic instructions, expect tickets. If you put your car in a spot, don't expect a ticket. If you don't have a car you will be fine, but I don't know what I would do with out mine. FSU students get free rides on the city bus system as well as our campus system so you can get around easily with out one. Plus most people have cars so you can easily find someone to take you somewhere if needed.

Pretty Safe, Kinda Sketchy

There are emergency poles all around campus so you are never without one near-by to press and have police come within minutes. The campus is also lit up pretty well at night, but there are not many people out on campus past 9. There is a police station on campus which makes it feel safer knowing that they are so close. They also ticket for the dumbest things, like jay walking and not stopping at stop signs when you're on a bike.

Decent but Room for Improvement

I eat on campus twice a week. I enjoy the food, however I feel that there could be more of a variety. I prefer the surrounding off campus options much better than the on campus options.

Free, Free, Free

I think the thing that I have grown to appreciate the most at Florida State is the fact that almost everything is free. Transportation, sporting event tickets, carnivals, and much more. The other thing I love is that there is always something to do on the weekends. There are tons of clubs and bars for partying, or if you would rather do something more cultured, there is always a festival or event going on that include arts and music.

Greek Life Beauty

There is a running joke that the Greek life on the Florida States campus are a grade above the rest. Hardly do you ever see an ugly person in greek letters. It is almost sickening looking at pictures taken by Nightlife Unleashed at Baja's or Pot's to name a couple. Everyone looks great all the time. The guys at the gym! OMG, and the girls can just look on from above at the gym. Thank God for the layout of that place. Great views all the time!

Alcohol

There is a lot of alcohol on any college campus. However, FSU might take the cake. The positive is since all the nightlife events are nearby you don't need to drive and you can walk. There are lots of alcohol and it is pretty enforced. DO NOT go to Bullwinkles with a fake you WILL get it taken away or worse.

No Hassels

I didn't have any problems getting into the psychology program or into the university. The most important criteria for admission is to take your required classes and do at least average in them. Tips: always see your adviser on a regular basis.

Tallahassee-FSU

Because FSU is such a big part of Tallahassee, college students are treated with respect and high regard. Tallahassee has numerous clubs and dinning areas within walking distance of campus. At night, students are provided with free transportation like the "Nigh Nole" and "Gotcha" to popular areas all over the city to prevent drunk driving. It stops at every major apartment complex, along with campus dorms, and takes students for free to the clubs and back safely. The taxi services in the city are excellent and cheap in case the students want a different means of transportation. FSU also has a reservation which includes a lake with kayaking and canoeing, free for FSU students. Because the city is so populated with a younger demographic, there are many concerts and special events that are held downtown. Driving can be frustrating in Tallahassee but everything is close and easy to get to, especially near campus. Students who live on campus very rarely need a car since there is so much public transportation provided. Shopping is limited since there are only two malls. However, good dinning is abundant. Tallahassee has great placing to eat-out, no matter what the budget. There are a lot of great local restaurants around campus for students to enjoy.
