DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THE SOCIAL LIFE!!!!!!Quite BrightPsychology
DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THE SOCIAL LIFE!!!!!! I knew too many friends of mine who partied all the time and thought that because it was a state school they would not need to study. They did not graduate and had to go home to to finish school at their local community college. I partied a little too much my freshman and sophomore year and had to play cathup my junior and senior year. You are going to have alot of fun going to this school, just don't have too much.

Question
FSU is a GREAT SCHOOL.Not so brightPreMed and Medical
FSU is a GREAT SCHOOL. That being said there are a lot of things that can keep you from enjoying it. The most obvious for me is the city... Tallahassee is quite possibly one of the most mediocre cities in the United States. It is small and has far too big a disparity between the rich and the poor. Another thing is the social life here.. Don't get me wrong you'll make friends, I know I did. Thing is if you are someone who is TRULY concentrated on academics, most of your fellow students are not really going to interest you very much. FSU is a big party school, and there are many people here that kind of come here just for that. Those points aside the academics are EXCELLENT! As a premed student I like the facilities available in the new Biology building, and the college of medicine is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The entire campus is truly something spectacular, the best in Florida. Walking down the streets of Florida State for a few minutes will make you think you're in London. It's truly a fascinating place. All of my professors have been very professional thusfar. Even if I don't like the subject being taught my professor usually has my respect as someone incredibly knowledgable in the course matter and who is good at relaying information efficiently. Bottom line, FSU is a good school, but visit before you decide to come. You don't want Tallahassee's crappiness to take you by surprise.

Question
FSU is a great school as far asQuite BrightOther
FSU is a great school as far as the academic environment. The teachers are excellent and I think I am getting a good education. There is plenty of opportunity to take the classes you need and the course offerings are awesome.

The social atmosphere is fun too. There is alot to do in and around campus. People are friendly and you will meet people in classes, at the library, just about anywhere you go.

The biggest negative is the greek system. I wanted to get involved in it but so many people told me to stay away. It is filled with lower quality people and I didn't want to be dragged down. If this is important to you, do not go here.
