Tallahassee is a greatMeteorology
Tallahassee is a great town and there is so much to do if you look for it. Stay tuned to the local paper for info. There is a great park system and plenty of outdoor activities nearby. I would love to end up back there one day!

Question
FSU is everything you've heard that it is.BrightCommunications
FSU is everything you've heard that it is. It was when I got here. IT IS a party school but don't let that overwhelm you because when your actually here, It's exactly what the college experienece should be. Tallahassee sucks during the day, which is good because then you can get your homework and everything done, lay out at the local pools, and when nighttime comes around, its veryy fun. Make sure to get everything done , then party. I almost didn't come to fsu, now i am sooo glad i did. There is a huge variety of ppl here and youll find the ppl just like u, so no matter what your gonna be happy here. I <33333 it.

Question
Well, I think you should be prepared beforeAccounting
Well, I think you should be prepared before you go to college by contacting someone at that school and staying in touch with them, like a mentor. When I went to college I was not prepared because my high school sucked, but I was an honor student. I didn't know how to write a good paper to save my life until after English Comp II.

As far as preparing for your major goes, I took accounting classes before I left high school so I was a little bit prepared. I ended up severly depressed in college because I wasn't prepared emotionally and educationally. Please make sure you visit the school of your choice a few times before you attend. I loved FSU and I would go back if I could to do my Master's. I made friends there and I didn't party at all the whole time I was there. The curriculum in business is tough so you have to stay focused or you will not pass the classes.

Also, get used to working in groups before you leave high school. I was not used to working in groups even though we did have those moments in high school where it was required. Groups help in understanding the material and studying for test.I do highly recommmend FSU if you have a good head on your shoulders already and not prone to peer pressure. If you are gullible, you may not survive.
