The friendliness.

Well, it is bigger than many schools I looked at. And it had a great creative writing program and that was something I need. And when I came here I felt like it was a second home. It has a great undergraduate program so new students get the help they need and then some.

It is in the capital of Florida. Being in north Florida there is a lot more change in seasons therefore the environment and suurounding areas is always changing and is vastly different than much of the state.

As a Dance major, many colleges I considered focus completely on a full-driven schedule and no time to breathe. FSU provides academic advisors that make time for individual students to help them balance out their schedule in a way that will help them keep up their GPA while enjoying school at the same time, and has built a campus-oriented community so that there is always something going on and you will never get bored or feel unproductive. Students here absolutely love to live on campus, unlike most universities, and learn to build strong relations and bonds everywhere.

Florida State is historically based. Anywhere you walk, the architecture, the pictures on the poles, the brick roads (our version of the yellow brick road in the Wizard of OZ), the statue of our first African American homecoming queen and you can’t forget the Osceola statue in front of Doak Campbell Stadium. When I took the tour, I was just amazed on how pretty it really was. The others schools didn’t feel like home. For me, the sense of belonging was from the moment I stepped onto campus. That’s the only true difference. Home.

Most schools that I considered were rather large and had a very poor student-to-faculty ratio. My school, however, is big enough to have many of the typical college opportunities, yet small enough that students get the help/attention they need in classes. As a physics major, I know that being able to interact closely with classmates and professors is very beneficial. I feel that in bigger schools, a good number of students don't have this unique advantage.

We're the Seminoles. I feel unique just by being able to say that. Our football games are a blast, and the school spirit we have is unbelievable.
Rachel
What is really unique about FSU is the general happiness of the students. Everyone Ive ever met on campus is happy and proud to be a Seminole. This school treats each other like a giant family, thus making the atmosphere the most unique I've ever seen.
Jane
It's a large university but the campus feels small and manageable and has a college feel
