Florida State University

Worst educational experience of my life. If you like to party and get messed up 24-7, then come here, but if you care even remotely about getting a worthwhile education or learning relevant job skills for the future, PLEASE seek another school. I learned more my freshman year of high school than I have in a year of senior level biology classes here. Don't waste your time and money. FSU education is a joke.

FSU is overall a good school, nice people great town. the only thing that could be complained about is housing. the FSU housing department is terrible. the system does not guarantee housing for freshman and there is a good chance that you will be denied a place to live. in this case, you will be notified at the very end of the summer and will be forced to find an off campus place in 2 weeks or less. if you decide to go to FSU, APPLY FOR HOUSING EARLY!! if you do not you will likely be denied or put into a "temporary" room with 10 other people (often these people do not find rooms and are then locked into a contract and forced to stay with 10 others in a converted lounge for the rest of the year and pay the regular dorm rate!) this one aspect of college life will completely destroy your experience and you will wind up hating FSU and transfer somewhere else or be forced to live in icky last minute off campus housing. seriously, apply for housing early!!!!!!! if you do this then you will likely have a great time at FSU and not have a horrible 1st yr experience

This is a decent school and the atmosphere is real friendly and fun. The city and university is aesthetically beautiful and we have a renowned football team. The biggest drawback about FSU is the administration. For one, you won't get much help at a 40,000 campus, besides being no more than a number. But my biggest discontentment is being a public school, it will suck the expenses out of you if you are not here living on mommy and daddy's money. Who would've guessed that even at a public school, individuals would still fall through the cracks financially. Sure you can take loans as they will tell you, but then after $80,000 to graduate, the degree at this school will be lucky to make you half of that, it's certainly no harvard or yale. I do recommend FSU however would only suggest it for 1) in-state 2) undergrad 3) on a trust fund basis.
