Florida State University Top Questions

At Florida State there is no stereotype. No matter what type of person you are you will find your niche here at FSU. There are all kinds of clubs, organizations and classes you can become apart of to help you find your home away from home. One of the reasons I chose Florida State was because there was no stereotype. I was able to come up to a city I had never been before and be completely welcomed by strangers. Everyone was more than welcome to help integrate you into your new life here in Tallahassee.

The University of Florida is probably our biggest rival so that tends to create a lot of competition and comparison in and of itself. I always here people say that students go to FSU because they couldn't get into UF. I'm sure that might apply to some, but I'm also confident about the fact that there are students at UF who tried to get into FSU but couldn't. FSU students are some of the most brilliant and talented individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting. Personally, the FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY was my number one choice when picking a college and I am completely satisfied with my choice. I couldnt get a better education and more amazing experiences than I've had here and I'm sure my fellow students would agree.

Florida State is such a large university that is it hard to narrow down just a few stereotypes that encompass the entire student population. I am a sophomore here at Florida State University (FSU) and from my experience regarding stereotypes, I feel like it is all about what you engage yourself with upon arrival to FSU. There are so many opportunities for students at FSU to get involved: clubs, sporting teams, dorm life, student government, campus jobs, Greek life, and the list goes on and on. Once you decided where you wish to allocate your time, you will find a lot of similar people within the different social categories. For example, I work for Outdoor Pursuits, a job through Campus Rec, where I lead different outdoor adventures. From my experience I could say, “Florida State has a big outdoor enthusiast population,” but that is someone of a naïve interpretation because just because that is maybe what I see most often, other students have completely different outlooks. So in wrap up- do not limit yourself when you arrive to FSU and then stereotypes will not limit you!

The most popular stereotypes about FSU are that the university is a party school, with a vibrant and continually drunken Greek life. Another stereotype is that the students are less bright than comparable schools in the state, such as UF or UM.

The girls are intelligent, gorgeous, and friendly. The guys are fun, successful, and love to rage. Also a high number of students come from very wealthy backgrounds, and the culture of the students is conservative.

That we are party animals and do not study or attend class regularly. Also that somestudents are stupid and just there for the sorority or fraternity life and parties, etc.
