Florida State University Top Questions

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

Dylan

I wish I had known about Tallahassee because it can be dangerous.

Andrea

I wish I would have known that there is time for everything. Recovering from a bad semester is not as easy as it was in high school but at the same time if you are in the field that you like, it comes natuarally to excell in school work.

Samantha

I wish I would have known a little more about the surrounding areas of FSU.

Charlika

Before I came to this school, I wish I would have known that rain is an everyday thing in Tallahassee and that an umbrella is practically necessary during any given time of day. I wish I would have known that meal plan payments can only be deferred if one receives a significant amount of financial aid. I wish I would have known that the required textbooks for my classes would be sold out 2 weeks before class even starts. In my short time there, I have quickly learned these things, and every student should know this.

Natalie

Nothing.

Lindsay

I wish I'd known that everything was uphill. You go one way, you have to go up hill; you go back the other way, you're somehow still going uphill. It's really ridiculous and I wish I'd known that before hand so I could have gotten my parents to get me one of the spray bottles with the fan attached. That would really come in handy when I'm walking to my classes.

Kristen

I wish I had not been so apprehensive to coming to FSU. I was raised a Florida Gator, so making the transition from Gator fan, to Seminole student was difficult. But now, looking back I have not regretted my decision one bit. Before I came to FSU I wish I would have had already established that love for the University. I wish I had been more willing to accept the early opportunities that were available as an incoming freshman. But I have grown so much from then until now, and I can thank Florida State University for that.

Nathalie

Before attending Florida State University, I wish I knew what I wanted to study.

Courtney

I wish I had known how bad the parking was so as to make arrangments to make it easier to park near campus.

Beth

I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT CARRER PATH TO TAKE
