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.

FSU as University
I am currently an Editing, Writing, Media major within the English department. The faculty and staff of my department are extremely helpful and easy to work with. Outside of my department, there are many unique and interesting classes for students to take for their gen eds. The workload depends on the major or class load. I am going to be a junior this coming fall and haven't met a person yet at FSU who said they couldn't handle their course load. Most students take between 12-15 credit hours a semester. As an english major, my workload specifically involves a lot of writing and research. I have not applied for any internships as of yet but after speaking to an advisor, I know that there are any opportunities for me to get one in Tallahassee. Most internships for my major take into consideration that I am still a full time student and need flexible hours. Finding a job after graduation is in good standing since I know past graduates in my department that have found jobs in Tallahassee and elsewhere.

At FSU the English department is very knowledgeable. As an EWM major (Editing, Writing, Media) I am learning useful information that will help me in the work force. I enjoy my classes because they are informative and interesting. Every professor I have had thus far has been kind and instructive.
