FSU Sports
School spirit is never lacking at FSU. Going to football games is almost mandatory, and everyone knows the student section has the most fun of any fans. Other sports get a lot of attention as well, but the main focus is on football.

Transportation
There is a bus system that goes not only all over campus, but also to the major apartment complexes around town. If you live on campus there's really no reason to take the bus, however. And there's always the NightNole, the bus system that runs after hours, and NoleCabs for any student who can show ID. It's pretty easy to get around campus at any given time.

Interning
Everyone in my program has to have an internship block, and the program is great at placing student in companies that they are interested in working for. Also, local merchants are often willing to hire interns for a semester or two.

Dorms
I live in a suite style dorm, which means I share a room with one other person, and a study area and bathroom with three "suitemates." Other dorms are community style, which means bathrooms are located in the hallways of each floor instead of in individual rooms, and apartment style. Living on campus may be a little annoying if you don't like roommates but it's SO convenient. I never have to take the bus to class unless the weather is bad, and there is a dining hall right outside my dorm.

Overall Experience
FSU was my first and only choice for college, and has been for my entire life. I love it here. I've met so many amazing people, the campus is beautiful, the professors are excited to be teaching, and there's always something going on.

Inside Scoop
The major I chose is one of the best in the country of it's kind. It bosts a 99% placement rate for students in jobs of their choice upon graduation. In this economy, a 99% chance of having a good job after college is extremely valuable.
