Florida State University Top Questions

Why did you decide to go to Florida State University?

Deanna

I decided to go to this school because I thought that it would be the most beneficial for me in what career I want to pursue. After I get my undergraduate degree, I would like to go to law school then practice law in Florida. These goals in mind, the state capitol of Florida was the perfect option as to where to study. Florida State has a very strong political science program, which is what I wanted to major in, and a top rated law school. The institution has endless opportunities within the state government for students to intern and volunteer, which is perfect for gaining experience and building a strong resume for law school. The other main reason I chose this school was for its marching band program. All of my high school years were devoted band and the FSU Marching Chiefs is one of the very best marching bands in the country that I am very proud to be a part of.

They are one of the only schools with a first generation program. The campus is also beautiful and has amazing sports.

Rachel

I saw the campus and fell in love. I loved the experience and the feeling of belonging.

Juana

I chose to go to FSU because of its location. I love that I can come home on the weekends (although its a long drive, but only takes about 45 minutes by plane) but still be independent and experience college on my own. I loved the campus when I visited. I loved all the trees and brick buildings, and the fact that you get to experience all four seasons. When I came to visit, the atmosphere of the school attracted me instantly and I knew it was the school for me.

Florida State was not my top choice, I applied on a whim because I liked some of the programs offered (like the exploratory major option). I had never visited the campus and had only seen a few pictures. I did get into my top school but decided it was to expensive to go out of state narrowing it down to UF and FSU. I had visited the UF campus, but didn't really like it, so I chose FSU. I was scared because everyone says don't make a decision without visiting the campus, I was going against what many people said. My first time on campus was for Orientation in June, those two days I was here, confirmed for me and my mom that I had made the right choice and I have not once regretted my decision. Once classes started knew FSU was my home away from home.

Amanda

I am a Floridian and wanted to stay within sunny Florida and at the same time, be far from home to gain the full college experience. Another reason, was the fact that my school is in the capitol of Florida where many opportunities in interning, and future careers reside. It is also a beautiful brick campus! Something I was not used to seeing everyday!

Kristin

I love FSU and I chose to attend the college because of the great academics and open arms it provides for its students. Everyone is always welcoming and nice to each other on campus, it is nothing compared to high school. Everyone has the chance to be individuals and make an impact on the school and the community. The school is so large and offers so many different opportunities, all we as students really have to do is choose.

Halsey

I decided to go to this school because it let me pay in state tuition for a school that is close to being out of state. If you live in the state of Florida, Tallahassee is very different that most Florida cities. It has hills, weather changes, and seems much more like a city from up north.

I really enjoyed the campus from the first time I visited. I had seen two other schools and did not like either of them.
