Florida State University Top Questions

Proximity to home, good value, and good academics.

This is in no particular order, but the reasons for choosing FSU... 1) you can't beat in-state tuition. 2) the psychology program at FSU is great 3) I was able to run cross country here 4) I was just far enough from home to where I wouldn't be tempted to go back for free laundry every weekend, but just close enough to make it easy to get home for the holidays.

In high school, I couldn't wait to leave home, and Florida State was about as far away as I could get from Miami while staying in the state. Now that I've been here for two years I wish it was a little closer to home, but I'm very happy here.

I decided to go to FSU because the English department had the best fit for the career I want. At the time I was considering a career in strict journalism but I felt the major wouldn't meet some of my other interests in creative writing and working with new media. The Editing, Writing and Media major here at FSU felt right to me. FSU was also very within my price range when it came to tuition and my scholarships. I also wanted to move somewhere away from my hometown so I could have an unique university experience and Tallahassee seemed like the right city for that.

I decided to go to FSU because the campus is absolutely beautiful! In addition, the history and tradtion associated with FSU makes any student want to continue the Seminole legacy! Tallahassee is a great city to live and students exude nothing but kindness and respect!

I had heard great things about FSU before coming here. It has great programs and is relatively cheap when compared to other universities.

The first reason I decided to attend Florida State University was because it was in-state, and I had a Bright Futures scholarship. But that, of course, was not the only reason! I found the campus to be extremely appealing, and Tallahassee is a great college town. The school has a lot of rich history and school spirit as well!

I really liked that it was still instate yet far from my hometown of Miami. I also like the school spirit and old style of the campus buildings. The faculty seemed nice and welcoming. I pretty much always knew I would end up here amongst other schools in state.

The area was a nice change from what I was used to, and I was very attracted to the school spirit here.

Florida State was always my first choice school. This is one of the top schools in the state and that prestige really intrigued me. I also liked that i got to have a real college experience in my state, but still independent from home.
