Florida State University

There are positive and negative aspects to FSU. The faculty are excellent and very helpful. The classes are involving, intellectually stimulating and fun. The students, however, are a different matter. Many students are just there to party or get free football tickets while the rest of us actually go to school to learn. While you are probably going to make at least one or two friends, the campus is very cliquish in a way that resembles a high school film: you are either a hipster, a jock or a geek, and people will let you know it. Intellectuals tend to be looked down upon. Also keep in mind that there is a lot of people drama and gossip travels fast, so a sense of civility and decorum is very important.

FSU is a beautiful school and the admissions staff is great, communication with students is excellent and housing was good. I was very excited when accepted and planned on spending 4 yrs there. This is why I only stayed one year:

- TOO MUCH partying - I am into athletics, not a drunk or druggie and hard to find friends who aren't wasted all the time. I only knew about 3 ppl from home town, so didn't come w/ my friends.

- Professors don't teach classes, don't ever show up to class & hard to get help. I sat outside of one prof's office (during her student hours) while she chatted on personal call for 25 min. (she knew i was there) when she got off phone said she didn't have time to help me. FML!

- Everyone walks around with head phones & there's no communication.
- Got into a great sorority only to find out that they were a bunch of drunks/sluts (first day they were pushing drinks on minors in the sor. house). They want to charge thousands of $$ for that? I quit.

- I met some ppl in the gym that were ok and tried to join an inter-mural team, but turns out most of team was gay and wanted more than my athletic ability. FML again!

Well, if you go to FSU, I recommend getting into a LLC (living/learning community) or something that hooks u up w/ others. The drinking/drug problem is really bad, that's probably true on most campuses. I ended up going to smaller Christian university in another state and LOVE it. Classier people who are less into getting wasted. I do miss the football games! ;-(
