Florida State University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Sandra

I wish i would have known a little more about the majors that they had to offer.

Joel

I went in to the school not knowing anything, and it turned out to be great because i found out a lot of things about the school which i never knew.

Stephanie

I wish that I would have known about the contracts for a meal plan and housing before I signed it. In a way, they trick you into signing it without telling you everything. For spring semester, I intended on getting rid of my meal plan, but apparently the contract is for the entire year. Now I have to find a way to get $1,600 for spring semester. Same with housing, I was going to move into an apartment so I could save money next semester, but I am stuck in this contract.

Eric

One thing I wish I knew before I came to FSU would be that everything will be taken care of. Coming from NJ, I was scared to be on my own for once but FSU made it really easy for me to come in, ask questions, and learn about the community and myself.

Amanda

Before coming to FSU, I knew little to nothing about the undergraduate research opportunities that are offered. The undergraduate research at FSU gives students the opportunity to work with highly acclaimed faculty and staff in their desired field. Students are able to recieve a Research Intensive Bachelor's certificate.

Alyssa

I wish I would've known about the off-campus activities a bit more before I came to FSU. I wish I knew what the area was like & what the students gnerally did for entertainment. I think the area is a bit under-developed compared to where I am used to living.

Bailey

I wish I would have known more about all the different clubs to get involved in as a student with hopes to go to medical school. I wish I would have know form the start different ways to really start pushing myself to get involved for my medical school resume.

Victoria

I wish I had known that Tallahassee is even hotter than halfway down the peninsula! It doesn't get much of a breeze at all. I would have packed more tank tops and shorts.

Raiza

That question is hard to answer since school has not opened yet; therefore I am uncapable of answering this question

Rachel

Coming from the Mid Atlantic Region, I wish I had known about the daily thunderstorms (at least in the summer) and the humidity! Not that it would have changed my decision, but I would have at least attempted to be a bit more prepared.
