Florida State University
Reviews

FSU Is Amazing.

I love this school and if I had to tell you about my experiences here, I'd write a whole book. FSU offers something for everyone so no matter what kind of personality you have, you can find something here that you would like.

Stadiums and Buildings

The football stadium at Florida State is one of the best i have seen for a college level team. As far as the seating and area surrounding the field, the university makes sure it is always well maintained.

The school also gives a great importance to the appearance and maintenance of its other buildings, whether it be buildings used to for teaching or for living. They are constantly remodeling and fixing parts of the buildings that might need some touch-up in order to look new all the time.

Lots

There are a lot of majors and minors to choose from here. Great selection-- something for everyone.

I'm Not in It, but Those Who Are Enjoy It.

Greek life is a pretty big deal at FSU, but its not a big deal if youre not Greek. A lot of kids try not to associate with them. They seem to like what they do.

Best in the Nation

Our football team, men's baseball team, women's basketball team, women's soccer team and men's basketball team are some of the best in the nation. We have consistently made it to each sports' particular championship tournament, or in football's case, had an incredible season and a good recruitment class.

Better Than Nothing

The greek life is a great way to get involved and make friends as opposed to entering college knowing nobody. Highly recommended for students who don't know anyone or don't plan to be a part of any clubs or organizations.

Wouldn't Trade This Past Year for the World

At every preview and tour and orientation I went to for FSU, they kept on saying "It has all the perks of a big research university with a small campus community atmosphere!" Over and over and over I heard those lines. I thought that was just what they used to lure you in. I didn't care. But after spending the past 8 months here, I realize those words couldn't be more true. Because this school is so big, the opportunities are limitless, but somehow, it doesn't feel like a big school at all. Everywhere I go I either make friends or run into people I know, and this campus feels more like home to me than anywhere else in the world.

Didn't Worry About a Thing

I didn't have to do much. I was a florida resident so my scholarships were immediately applied to my classes. Once I filled out my FAFSA my rewards were paid into my student account and any overages were in my bank account by the first month of classes.

BEAUTIFUL

The weahter is beautiful. Summers are hot but the fall and spring are mild. Tallahasse has beautiful foliage. The only downside is the pollen in the spring that turns everything yellow and messes with sinuses.

Workload Exceeds Credit Hours Given

the curriculum asks too much of the student in terms of workload for students in the biological sciences, chemistry, or physics. A student taking 12 credit hours in these courses will typically have to attend class for 18 hours a week. The work load exceeds the credit hours given by a significant amount.

Go Greek!!!!

The Greek Life here is awesome. As a member of this awesome community, I have met so many new people. I have also given so much back to the community such as Dance Marathon and philanthropic events.

Geek Life

not a greek but it's everywhere at fsu. i'd say almost 50% of undergrads are greek at least

FSU Girls

most attractive girls in the state of florida and their attitudes can vary from no sex till marriage to instant booty call

Sports!

FSU is host to many highliy ranked sports teams. Football season is extremely exciting and you can't help but get wrapped up in all the fun. School spirit is everywhere and going to games is a great way to de-stress, have fun, and meet new people.

Clubs!

The main nightlife at FSU exists at the many popular clubs around campus. Clubs are most popular on Friday nights, and are hosts to many well known DJs. Cover charges are usually $5-$20 and can be free for girls between certain hours. Greek life also hosts many many parties. These usually happen on Saturday nights and can be fairly exclusive. House parties aren't the main source of the nightlife, however you can usually find one almost every weekend. FSU is known as a party school for a reason, which means that you will never be bored on the weekends, let alone any other night of the week!

Go Noles

Our school contains a circus, one of the two colleges in the states. The night scene is very exciting every day of the week. Greek life is one of the top in the nation. Graduate school and law school are an option for after undergraduate years.

Greek Life Is a Must

Greek life is a huge part to FSU and coming from someone who isn't a part of it this year, it is one of my major regrets. Will definitely be a part of it next year. Getting involved in general is a huge part to having fun and making friends here.

Rainy Days Go Away

It rains a lot here, so it becomes a hassle to walk around campus and stepping in puddles. But there are more nice days than gross days so usually everyone is hanging around outside or laying out on Landis Green, a giant field where people play football, frisbee, etc.

Sports Sports Sports!

I think that Varsity sports at Florida State are pretty incredible, and the fans are top notch. I love how involved everyone gets especially for the football games. I am surprised to see how many people actually do attend other sporting events besides football.

Student Activities, Variety

There is always an activity or an event to participate in on campus, student life is booming. There is lots of free food and fun performers, and also respected speakers.

Buses, Convenience

They are good about sticking to their schedules and its included in your tuition.

Fountain and Trees, Enjoyable Landscaping

There's lots of greenery on campus which is nice, and we a encouraged to occupy it and use it however we please. The only drawback is the bad smell that comes from the powerhouse of campus, it smells like pure pollution.

Too Many Undeserving Ethnic Students

FSU makes every effort in getting racial diversity, even if it means accepting people that are not college material.

Libraries

The libraries at Florida State are great and really student friendly. The main library is open 24 hours from Sunday at noon until Friday at six, and the science library is open until 2am on the weekdays. Outside of the large number of computers available, there are also smart rooms you can check out to study with a group in, and plenty of other devices to check out such as laptops, headphones, even a Wii you can use in a smart room.

Fresh Food Vs. Suwannee Room

The Fresh Food company in my opinion serves fresher food than at the Suwannee Room. I have heard other opinions but I believe that the food and the general atmosphere is better at Fresh Food. Our other campus eateries such as Starbucks, Papa John's and Subway create a great variation that one can never be bored enjoying.
