Florida State University Reviews

"As a former graduate student, I can only talk about my own department. FSU's Modern Languages and Linguistics department gave me an excellent education. I was impressed with the opportunities I had (e.g., research mentorship, grant funding, teaching instruction). The faculty and staff went out of their way to make sure I successfully completed my degree."

"Attending Florida State University is the best choice I ever made. The campus feels like a community and has so many opportunities for students with all different interests. Go Noles!"

"The FAMU/FSU college of engineering provides a vast array or learning experiences. There are a number of undergraduate and graduate research opportunities for students to get involved with. Innovation park also provides partnerships with leading industry organizations. The professors on campus take your success personally."

"My four years at Florida State University were the best years of my life. The educational, work, philanthropic and social experiences were more than I could've ever dreamed up. There are abundant opportunities for all students, so you can't go wrong by choosing FSU."

"FSU's Library and Information Studies degree program prepared me for my career. I learned a variety of useful skills in a modern online classroom setting. The faculty and students I worked with are still professional contacts today."

"Florida State is a wonderful learning environment. It has an amazing community behind it too. Tallahassee is also a really amazing place to live."

"Excellent experience, excellent school. I wouldn't trade my time at FSU for anything."

"Administrative support at my college wasn't great. Guidance counselors and career advisers had no idea what they were doing. However, the curriculum is far and beyond other schools'. I have learned this from interviewing interns at other Florida/Georgia schools and realized that the graduating classes from other schools have half-baked concepts and ideas of learning concepts and even what their major even means."

"I loved going to FSU. A few people have ruined the reputation of a great university. FSU has so much to offer students. There are tons of majors to choose from with classes taught by some really wonderful professors. The university has a thriving Greek life, but there are also over 500 other clubs and organizations to join if you don't want to join a fraternity or sorority- honor's societies, skydiving clubs, service organizations and more. You can even help run the campus movie theater. FSU International Programs has study centers in the heart of London, England; Valencia, Spain; Florence, Italy; and Panama City, Panama. They also offer study programs in 11 other countries. I spent a summer abroad in London, and it was an absolutely incredible experience and the program was flawlessly run. FSU also has lots for students to do on campus. There's a movie theater that shows a great mix of classics and recent blockbusters and is free for students. There's a bowling alley, a pottery painting studio, and a club/ music venue in the student union. The FSU School of Theatre puts on top notch shows and musicals. There are two different gyms with tons of group exercise classes and free personal training. Of course, athletics and sporting events are a huge part of FSU, and all games are free to students. I loved going to Florida State. I'm so proud to be a Seminole. I made my best friends at FSU and wouldn't trade my time here for anything. It's a great place to go to college with so many options for every person and interest."

"Financial Aid is not helpful. Trying to get a straight answer from them is like trying to understand T.S. Eliot after reading it only once: you'd have a better chance lighting a torch in pouring rain. However, I like the low cost, I love the attention and dedication the professors have, and I love the effort the school makes to ensure that we have a social life outside of law school."

"FSU Law School has mostly great professors, great career placement services, and does not have a huge number of students (which gives the school a comfortable feel). FSU is in Tallahassee, which provides many opportunities for law students."

"The English Education program was phenomenal. I had instructors that knew me personally and took time out of their day to personally assist me not only with school related projects and assignments, but also with future job placement. The classes and practicums I completed immensely helped me prepare for my job as a teacher and also helped assure that I was in the right field of study for my future career."

"It's a quality education for staying in-state. The faculty is overall very helpful."

"The law school does a tremendous job fostering a collaborative student body while maintaining a competitive environment. However, the placement office could bolster the diversity of symplicity listings."

"Florida State University (Law) is a great program. The professors, placement office, and the deans are accessible and always eager to offer help and advice . The student body is pleasantly diverse, lively, and respectful but also has a healthy dose of competition."

"The FSU College of Medicine is very student friendly and centered. There is great support for myself and my colleagues to help us succeed in this stressful environment. We are still a new program and still working on improving the curriculum and leadership, but I think this school's mission will be the future model of medical education."

"There are many pros to this graduate program such the availability of professors, cost of education, campus life, as well as access to other resources. Some of the cons I have encounters are not really associated with the graduate program directly but are related to the cost of living expenses."

"The pros of my graduate program is that it is very specific to what I want to do. Transportation around Tallahassee is pretty good, and the bus system is free to FSU students. The teachers are knowledgable, and although it is a very hard program, I am learning a lot. The cons are that it wasn't as hands-on as I was expecting, at least not yet. I have been disappointed with the "practicum" class which should be the most applicable to my learning, but we were just cleaning the gym most of the time - not training the athletes like we should have been."

"The professors and other students are what make this program as positive as it is."

"It's been a great experience so far, and I am looking forward to the next semester!"
