Florida State University Top Questions

It would have to be the FSU Tomahawk chop at the notorious football games!! I get chills every time I hear the band playing the FSU Fight song!

On your 21st birthday, it is tradition to jump in the fountain in front of the Westcott building. Fully clothed. Take pictures!!

Florida State University is one of the top universities in the United States and it shows. FSU is definitely known for its ongoing research in many different fields.

On your 21st birthday your friends are supposed to throw you into the schools biggest fountain. I can't wait for my turn!

Our school is best known for it's fine arts department. The school of dance is one of the best undergraduate dance programs in the nation and the art majors' work is proudly displayed throughout the campus. Another thing FSU is known for is the fact that all of its students are so school spirited. The war chant can be heard all around the campus throughout the school year.

Football!

I believe that Florida State University is known for its students and faculty. The amount of dedication and seriousiness in working hard is overwhelming. The faculty is also willing to take an extra step to help a student in their success. Therefore, students are more encouraged and filled with more perserverence to accomplish what they came to do. Each student has their own acedemic advisor in their specific major, allowing them to have smooth and productive semesters, and a guiding hand in making wise decisions for their career path.

I have two favorite traditions here on campus. The first one is when the Chief rides out onto the field and spears the middle with a lighted spear. Not only is everyone completely silent while he rides, but, when he's done the entire stadium goes crazy! It is definitely one of the most exciting moment you'll ever experience. You won't ever forget your first game. My second favorite is one only unique to FSU. Did you know that every fountain in Florida State is legal to swim in? If your answer is no then you'll be surprised the first hot summer day you decide to lay out on Landis Green. Everyone has their feet in the fountains and aren't afraid to take a lap. But that isn't the tradition. The tradition is, that every year on your birthday, you will be thrown in the main fountain, Westcott fountain. It is a long standing tradition that the birthday boy or girl be carried to the fountain then thrown in by his or her friends or family or both. FSU is filled with many traditions that connect every student like a family.

Our school is notably known for their theatre program, their medical program, and their music program.
