If you would describe yourself as an 'individual',Quite BrightEnglish
If you would describe yourself as an 'individual', coming to this place will absolutely suck the life out of you. the classes are typically enormous and most students/teachers are arrogant beyond belief. the town is practically a wasteland. the music school is falling apart while there stands a million dollar stained glass monument of the football coach against the football stadium. if you aren't into the frat and/or football scene, don't even bother coming. this is the kind of place where bros in jeeps drive around the school blasting jack johnson and making derogatory comments to any girl who is relatively orange. most girls stay orange because there is a tanning booth ON CAMPUS.

sure, there is a small portion of people who are different - but those people are somewhat hard to find and because of their elitism are even harder to befriend. all in all, if you want to fall into obscurity, if you desire to be ignored and unnoticed, come here. remember, kids: the band creed was formed here. CREED. yeah. run away fast.

Students are strongly skewed to the jock/frat side. Not too much diversity. Teachers are pretty good.

Question
Florida State University is nothing but a swarmQuite BrightArchitecture
Florida State University is nothing but a swarm of unmotivated, drunken, sloppy idiots..both IN and out of the classroom. If you're looking to get out of high school, DON'T come to FSU. Greek life may seem appealing, but the reality behind the facade is a bunch of egotistical assholes with excessively gelled hair and narcissistic bitches always snorting coke to keep a good body image, a body image that is more important to them than their actual studies and future. The faculty is good, there are some pretty dope teachers that love what they're doing and are good at it as well, but the student body doesn't live up to this kind of charisma. The only smart people I've met at FSU have been faculty members. Being the eye of greek and social life for about a year I've met hundreds of people, but none of who can keep up with an intellectual conversation. As for the campus itself, only the medicine, chemistry, and psychology buildings are nice. Everything else is somewhat slum-like. Sometimes I forget what campus I'm at because the eastern side is so much shittier than the western. The eastern side consists of buildings from the fucking early 1900's while the western was just built in 2007. Lastly, the surrounding area at Florida State reminds me of the ghetto. There are reports of gun shots at least once a week, not to mention "Frenchtown" (the bronx of tallahassee) is right across the street from the campus. Don't let the "capital" throw you off.
