Our school is best known for higher education that is the cheapest in the state and yet has great education. Our tuition rate has been increasing yet no where near as expensive as other schools. We are also known for being a safe campus with great transportation and a friendly environment.

FSU is most known for its academics, atheltics, and Flying High Circus.

FSU is a university full of traditions. One of my favorites is throwing people in the Westcott Fountain on their birthdays. It is something of a right of passage and students often do it after a night of celebrating at the Strip across Tennessee Street. Every year there is an entire week dedicated to celebrating Homecoming. Football is a great tradition at FSU and no student's experience as an undergrad is completed without doing the chop in Doak Campbell Stadium and rooting on the Seminoles.

Have a good time, which won't be hard, but remember that you are here to learn and plan your life. Try new things and open yourself up to new ways of thinking and living. Find out who you really are and not what you were raised or influenced to be. College is all about self discovery. Become who you want to be and put forth the effort required.

Shira

My school is best known for its atmosphere. The students are very school-spirited and enjoy partying. The social aspect of this school is revolved around greek life and its hard to get involved or to be accepted if you are not a part of it.

Francesca

The school spirit. During football season, the place to be seen is inside the stadium flaunting your garnet and gold. No matter the weather, students are happy to cheer on their fellow students. Though football season captures the essence of our school spirit, it does not end there. Florida State University is proud of its long history, and the old brick buildings remind students that they are one in millions that have walked those passageways in hopes of persuing their dreams; this shared past unites us and all students rejoice in a chance to wear their garnet and gold.

Wonderful programs in criminal justice and criminology, music, film and hospitality among many others. Members of the chemistry department helped develop a leading cancer-fighting drug and members of the physics department were part of a team discovering the top quark.

Kelly

It's best known for its school pride. We have fun football games and social events.

Lauren

While it is considered by some to be a bit of a "party school", this is not truly the case with FSU. The criminology program is ranked seventh in the nation, and certainly is the finest one that the state of Florida has to offer.
