"Attending Florida State University was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The school is very well rounded as far as having great academics, sports, and campus life. I learned a lot during my time in school and have been deemed over-qualified in many job interviews. There are activities and clubs on campus for every person and there is so much room to be great at Florida State. I didn't want my time to end but I left school with everything I needed to be prepared for the next stages of my life!"

"Florida State University gave me the opportunity to gain more knowledge, network and build a lifelong career. While at FSU I had the opportunity of serving as the president of the minority business society, gained membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., earn multiple internship opportunities through Inroads and many many more. I reccomend attending FSU because of the resources on campus and in the city of Tallahassee as a whole because it is a college town. My first job after graduation with Duetsche Bank was earned due to networking at a FAMU event which is another campus across the street from FSU."

"Florida State University is a beautiful campus filled with wonderful faculty and staff that are eager to help you reach your full potential. The large majority of my teachers were helpful, friendly, and skilled in their field of study. If I ever had questions about my course work or needed help, my teachers usually delivered quick response and action. The housing on campus is also a high point of my experience at FSU. It was a pleasure working with my residential advisors and I got to know many of the students, including my roommates, during my stay. One of my biggest priorities when choosing a school was to go somewhere that I felt safe. During my time at FSU, I can honestly say that there was never a point when I felt unsafe or in danger. There are safety stations across campus where you can alert campus police of any trouble you may be in and the campus police always responded very quickly. Overall, Florida State University is absolutely an amazing place to get an education. Based on my stay, tours of other colleges, and talks with friends that attended other colleges, I can honestly say that I would not have wanted to get my bachelor's degree anywhere else."

  • Degree: Nursing
"As a Florida State University Alumni, reflecting on my undergraduate enrollment earning a Bachelor's in Nursing Science at Florida State University, I am undoubtedly confident that I attended one of the best programs nationwide. The professors at the College of Nursing fully prepared me, both academically and clinically, for great success in my profession. Earning my degree at FSU provided me the necessary tools to become a prestigious intensive care unit open heart surgery registered nurse. My instructors were knowledgable of all covered content, highly accessible to students, and passionate in regards to the success of their nursing student body. This program provided me such a superb education, I sought no other school for entry to my Graduate Studies in pursuit of my Master's in Nurse Anesthesia. I am excited and eager to learn from the best, yet again, working towards my professional and academic goals."

"Florida State is a great place to be at school. I'm not a fan of the school's administration, and I think there are issues that need to be addressed at FSU. The school is not as diverse as I'd have liked, but that's true for many institutions. The University has accepted problematic gifts from donors that I feel have compromised the school's integrity, and the process by which the current President was chosen was very problematic. The Student Government is often overwhelmingly influenced by a subset of the student's population that is not representative of the views and interests of the student body as a whole. That being said, the people that I met (fellow students, faculty, and people in the area) and opportunities that I had at FSU have greatly impacted my life. The school is located in a great city (Tallahassee, Florida) that has space for a wide range of interests. There is a great art scene (theatre, comedy, a good music scene, anything you can hope for), an opportunity to involve yourself in state politics, and people, especially faculty and staff at FSU, who cal help you find whatever else you may need. It isn't perfect, but FSU is a really great place to go to school."

"The educators in the Sport Management program were great to work with and helped students with practical experience opportunities. The best part is the ability to network with peers due to the small class. I am now going back to school for my Law Degree and am able to do so because of my past experience at FSU."

"FSU is a university where students learn just as much outside of the classroom as you learn inside. Although the degree I earned is no longer offered, I still keep in touch with the people I went to school with. Tallahassee is sprawling city, but affordable just ask questions before you move in."

Additionally, the College of Social Work at the university was like a second home to me where I was able to learn how to be a better humanitarian, person, and future social worker."

"Florida State University is a school you should try to attend if you want to be a Seminole. Decent classes and a lot of different opportunities to get involved with. It's not near the beach, which is a down side, but it's an overall okay university to attend."

The professors and staff are friendly and caring, and although it is a very large university, you receive individualized education. FSU has a beautiful campus with traditional Floridians flora and fauna, and they commit to keeping their campus environmentally sustainable and green for students of future generations to enjoy. The campus community at FSU is vibrant, passionate, and kind; you will always feel at home here."

"Attending Florida State University was one of the best decisions I've made. It was a great environment to learn and there were tons of opportunities to get involved in activities/clubs both throughout the psychology department and the University. All of the professors were supportive and willing to help during office hours. One of the best learning experiences I had while at Florida State was getting involved in research labs. In fact, I loved it so much that I decided to stick around after graduation to work in a lab and gain more experience before grad school. Florida State University will always have my heart and soul. You can't find this kind of community anywhere else!"
