Surprisingly Easy

I'm very unhappy with the lack of professors I actually have. Out of 5 classes I only have 1 professor and 4 T.A.'s. My coursework is so easy and I'm usually pretty bored with it. I'm hoping it will get more difficult as I get further along into college.

Something Else.

Unless you get early admittance, DO NOT APPLY TO LIVE ON CAMPUS. You will end up stuck in a crappy dorm aka smith and kellum. I currently live in smith hall. Community bathrooms suck. Overall though it has not been a bad experience. Smith is very social and you actually have to avoid people if you are not wanting to make friends. The worst part about living on campus is no outdoor pool for tanning in the summer time! Best thing about my dorm is the proximity to all of my classes by far. Even so I will not live on campus ever again.

It Grows on You

The weather is absolutely atrocious. However for the first time ever I have experienced the leaves changing which for a true Floridian is pretty awesome. There is ALWAYS tons of stuff going on on campus or close by and is usually free for students. Football games are incredible... and free which is even better. At first I absolutely hated it here but I've grown to like it. Most classes have a laid back feel and I'm never afraid to speak up if I don't understand something which can sometimes be intimidating. If I could do it all again I would still choose FSU but I would not choose to live on campus! With FSU being as big as it is there is something here for everyone, from LARPers to Greek life, the student body is very eclectic. Most students are very friendly and polite (holding doors, saying hello in elevators and the such.) I think the worst part about FSU is it's location in Tallahassee. Traffic sucks and the locals are downright scary!
