Florida State University

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.

It was a big decision between FSU and UF (University of Florida), but overall I think FSU is more focused on students' well-being and indivuduality whereas UF is snooty, conceited, and tries to be way too exclusive but in fact their students are just the same intelligence as FSU students despite UF's total propaganda to make their school look better. UF does tons of sneaky things to make their school look better, for example they say you have to have at least an SAT score of 1100 to get in, yet if you don't they will still gladly accept you, but you have to enroll in the summertime instead of fall, so your LOW SAT SCORE won't factor into their admission average, which only counts the fall admission scores. This makes it look like UF students are smarter, when they obviously aren't. But one thing I DISLIKE ABOUT FSU is that we have minuses, whereas UF doesn't. FSU's minuses count .25 off your GPA. For example, a B- would be a 2.75. Our pluses count for .25 more, for example a B+ would be a 3.25. UF only has pluses, and they count for .5 MORE! So their B+ is a 3.5 instead of a 3.25 at FSU. This is bad for us FSU students because it gives really lowers our GPAs and gives us a competitive disadvantage for grad school and law school.

Apply immediatly for housing. If you're 300+ on the waiting list, you probably don't have much of a chance to get on-campus housing.
