“For meteorology, Florida State University is an excellentMeteorology
For meteorology, Florida State University is an excellent choice. The meteorology department has a long tradition and history of excellence, producing graduates for research and operations. Two directors of the National Hurricane Center have degrees from FSU, along with numerous Meteorologists-in-Charge in the National Weather Service and on-camera meteorologists for The Weather Channel and many television stations. Some of the NWS top modelers at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction are FSU grads. For tropical meteorology, FSU is unsurpassed. The undergrad major in meteorology requires a strong math and physics background, so high school applicants should take all the math and science they can, plus English and geography courses. Spanish is a BIG help for communicating through two "windows" into our changing population. For meteorology, strongly consider FSU!!

Florida State University is an amazing experience. There is always something to do around the town or on campus. Faculty are incredibly helpful and are brilliant.

“I'm a senior at FSU and to beQuite BrightSociology
I'm a senior at FSU and to be completely honest, I'm happy I'm graduating in exactly a semester. I've had my fair share of ups and downs, but I suppose that's life. In all seriousness, college is what you make of it. About 50% of my experience was full of friendships, laughter, and in general fun.. the other 50% were the kind of life experiences that sucked while you were going through them, but realistically it's shaped me as a person more than I'd like to admit (oops. just did..).
It's easy to write someplace off by saying "It sucked" because it wasn't easy... I'm not doing it. A university is a university. Would I have changed things about my experience? Yes. Would I give up the things I have learned? Not really.
Life in general isn't easy, and all the crap you go through (professors being difficult, lack of friendly people) just help to further prepare you for the proverbial 'real world.'So yeah, personally? I really did not like Florida State. I'm not into the night life, I actually have never set foot in a bar/club my entire time going here. I've made some friends and met some people who turned out to be not who I thought they were. But realistically? It was a great experience.
