Florida State University

Like any other university, what you put into your experience is what you'll get out of it. This is especially true at a large institution like FSU. There's an enless amount of opportunities for everyone, both academic, social, and cultural. It's easy to feel "lost in the crowd" if you don't take the inititative to "put yourself out there." No one is going to hand you life experiences on a silver platter; you have to make the effort. You want to succeed academically and socially? Get involved in undergraduate research. Seek advice from faculty and peers. Join clubs and sports teams. Study abroad. Do an internship. These opportunities and more are available to those that want them. Your experience will be what you make of it, so put forth your best effort! I promise you can and will succeed at FSU :)

The Political Science program is great. However, choose your minor wisely. I had hit or miss professors within the Political Science field; they were either wonderful, or arrogant and self-absorbed. I was a Business minor. I felt as though all of those professors were just trying to get students though, and didn't care much for the individual student. The campus is nice, just don't live on campus. The parking situation is awful, so it's best to live close to campus and walk, or try to catch the bus. Just be careful because apartments close to campus are expensive. I lived close and my rent was $715 a month in a 4/4.
