What is the stereotype of students at Florida State University? Is this stereotype accurate?

Nardgelen

Laid back, wearing all Seminole gear, backwards hat, shorts, beer in hand. Pretty much true!

Students at FSU are stereotyped to be ambitious students that enjoy life and have fun while also working hard to achieve big goals. I believe that for the most part, the student body reflects just this; students enjoy enjoy living and having fun, but are also eager individuals who set high goals and put tremendous effort into transforming dreams into realities.

That everyone at my school is good looking or is conceited. It is not true unless you surround yourself with those types of people.

Amy

The stereotype seems to be that everyone at Florida State University is involved in Greek life. While we do have a very active Greek community, there are a ton of other ways to get involved on campus with non-Greek groups. There seems to be something for everyone at Florida State.

Florida State University tends to widely receive the stereotype of being a party school with attractive girls. While there may be some truth to this stereotype, it would be inaccurate to label for the school as a whole. You can find a wide variety of students at Florida State, especially those who don't partake in the lively nightlife. I believe this is the best part of going to a school with a large student body consisting of a variety of different people and personalities. Each class you will find yourself amongst the different and expected students of college such as the athletes, frat stars, the students who pay attention, and the students who don't pay attention. The diversity enables it to eliminate any stereotype that may be put in place.

Other than being big with sports events and drinking, I don't know know of any stereotypes.

Kristin

A lot of the students at FSU are into Greek life and so many girls fall into the stereotype of being a sorority chick and the guys are labeled Frats. Some times these stereotypes are spot on but the truth is there is actually a lot of variety when it comes to the personalities of the students who attend FSU.

There are stereotypes no matter where you go. Florida State University is no exception, but there are many that aren't even accurate, for instance FSU is often classified as a party school. In reality we do enjoy partying, (who doesn't?) but most students always stay true to their academics by upholding the Garnet and Gold. There is also a large misconception of students who drink excessively, most students actually only claim to have little (1-2) to no drinks per week. Otherwise I have seen no stereotypes that have classified students based on appearance or group.
