My program is one of the best in the nation, but it's also small enough that you receive individual support and attention. There does need to be more assistance and support for students who enter into degree levels with less academic skills than others (ex: academic writing practice). My experience was that without an already established practice of academic writing style some semesters felt like playing "catch up" to where others were at. But, at the end of the day, I felt I graduated with such... Read More a deeper and more personal experience that I wouldn't change. The community around the school can be so supportive to the ideas and goals of the students who put themselves out there.

Despite graduating in a class that was affected by COVID, the opportunities I had as a Sport Management student at FSU were truly unmatched. I got to intern for athletics in a few different areas and gain a better understanding of where in the industry I would like to be. The fact that my classes were primarily remote did make it hard to network with my fellow students, but that's not the schools fault, that's just a symptom of being in school during COVID. That was honestly my biggest gripe with... Read More the program was that it was hard to form genuine connections because there were not a ton of opportunities for in person networking.

I did undergrad at FSU, as an Entrepreneurship major though and feel like these two degrees gave me the push and confidence I needed to start my own business and become a successful freelance creative in the sports and entertainment space.

Florida State University is an exceptionally wonderful university where possibilities are endless. Florida State University is best known for its vast amount of research opportunities and offers extracurricular activities and volunteering efforts for students to become more involved with the Florida State community- this also serves beneficial when looking into attending graduate school. Many degree programs are offered at this institution and the skills learned in the classroom will prepare any... Read More individual for the career path of their choosing. At Florida State University, professors make sure to put great efforts into their lectures and accommodate students for office hours when additional help is needed. The 'Biological Sciences' degree program was phenomenal and as you begin to dive into more specialized courses, it becomes apparent that the professors are truly passionate about their career and are willing to assist students in beginning, advancing, and building a desired career path of their own.

Florida State University was the best decision of my life. I had the opportunity to go to any school in Florida but heres why FSU was the best. Community. There is a special feeling that you get when you step on to this beautiful campus. There are people that you find that are just as excited and inquisitive. School spirit and a sense of belonging. I attended FSU as an undergrad and grad student and joined many organizations including the well regarded Marching Chiefs. I worked as a graduate assistant... Read More and adjunct right after I earned my Masters. I really wanted to stay but decided it was time to test the professional world outside of Florida. But still, because of its amazing alumni connections, I had job interviews lined up in Boston and had to turn down the job offer in Tallahassee that was offered to me through my department connections and academic achievements. My department was looking out for all of us and made sure we were prepared to enter whatever world we wanted to enter as professionals. I was encouraged to continue at FSU and it was extremely tempting. The FSU world is full of opportunities that make for a great life. But the FSU life never goes if you dont want it to. Many years later, I had FSU academic collaborations that led me even further down the academic road to a Ph.D. program. Continuing the relationships and engaging with my former professors and cohorts have made my life and me a better person. The chances are good that you will also find great personal and academic success if you attend Florida State University.

Florida State University has allowed me to grow as a person. Many colleges or universities attempt to use students to make their stats look better to the public. However, FSU shows students how they can be great at the university and provides resources for those students to succeed. I have attended FSU as an undergrad and grad student and held multiple jobs and positions in registered student organizations on campus. It's safe to say that I couldn't get enough time at this institution. The college... Read More of education at FSU has provided ample opportunity to work alongside other high school teachers and experience hands-on learning. Academic departments across campus provide students with staff support and technology, making it accessible for all students to succeed. This is a great way to begin building your network for internships and job opportunities after graduation. One of the main reasons I chose to attend FSU was the sense of community I felt from the first time I visited campus. The school spirit and pride could be felt as I walked around. Even with a large student population, its easy to get involved and find your home on campus. It still feels intimate, yet there are thousands of opportunities for academic and recreational activities. My greatest piece of advice for prospective freshman is to find a college or university that genuinely cares about its students and will help you be the best it can be, rather than using its students to be the best ranking school.

Throughout my undergraduate career, I experienced a variety of activities. I was adequately offered extracurricular and volunteer activities that would be fundamental to getting into graduate school. The programs and the experiences FSU has to offer was by far my favorite aspect of FSU. Sometimes the instructors lacked and were too focused on their individual research to be involved with students, answer emails, or provide adequate instruction during class. Many of the instructors did not seem loyal... Read More to FSU in my original program, Chemistry, which was why I had to switch majors. Although I had a few phenomenal instructors, who were passionate about their courses and were thoroughly involved with students' careers, many of them were outside of my major. I also experienced many problems with the financial office that had high turnover rates and inexperienced employees. As I aforementioned, the plethora of programs and student activities FSU offers are not to be missed. I was able to lead groups of students on volunteer outings for two years, get essential research and research leadership experience, and had a phenomenal study abroad experience. Florida State allows students many more opportunities for students to become involved, especially with research, than other universities. I advise that when you tour or look into FSU that you research and talk to professors in your individual department so you can see how your department is ran and organized.

Florida State University is a wonderful school! Majority of my professors were amazing and very clear in what their expectations were in regards to assignments, papers, and tests. I do wish that my advisor would have been a bit more helpful in assisting me in choosing a major as I was a bit lost when I first started. The financial aid team was always super helpful in answering my questions, there was always a line at the office though so definitely carve out some extra time if you have to head there.... Read More I found that once I was in more specialized classes within my major you could really see the professors passion and see if you were truly interested in the subject. I would definitely recommend attending Florida State if you are thinking about it, there is nothing like walking on that beautiful campus!

I loved attending Florida State University for a number of reasons, with one of the biggest being how well known the university is and how that stands out on a resume. Between the football games, basketball games, student life in general and the superb academics, Florida State University is an excellent choice for most people. I chose to major in Economics, and they actually require you to have a minor since there is only 36 credit hours of Economics classes needed to fulfill the program. I chose... Read More to minor in Business. While the Economics program was good, it was mostly the same class over and over where you essentially learned about supply and demand graphs. It really did not do anything to prepare me for the real world. I learned more in my Business classes to fulfill my minor requirement that I have been able to use in the workplace since graduating. The best thing about my Bachelors in Economics is that it is almost always a talking point when brought up about why I chose that over anything else. One of the main reasons I chose Economics was exactly that reason, to stand out when applying for jobs, as well as the hope of learning something I did not know. To be honest, I wouldn't change a thing when looking back other than I would have engaged more with the career center to learn about future careers and internships.
