Florida State University Reviews

"Pros- With the MPH program, we have a wide range of job opportunities to choose from. From health management to public policy, we would qualify for all. Cons- The program is not yet accredited. However, it is in the process of accreditation and we have the final visit on September this year"

"I loved everything about this program except for the excessive workload and lack of accountability and justice for non-performing group members. Some group members were able to pass all of their classes by putting in virtually zero work while others were stuck putting 40+ hrs/week into group projects."

"Pros:The faculty are really helpful Cons: If something is wrong with financial aid package it takes a while for them to fix it"

"The Sports Sciences program at FSU is a tight knit program that allows the students to work closely with professors. Professors are extremely helpful and support you and genuinely want the best for each student. They make it a priority to know each student in the program and tailor the program to fit the students interests. We work with elite student athletes and its a very hands on program. Even though I believe the small atmosphere of the program to be a positive (you're not another number in the class, your opinion is valued) some people may enjoy a bigger program with more students."

"PROS: The Italian Studies program at Florida State University is personally attentive to each of its students. Each faculty member is easily available to discuss program and career-related matters. Students are always made aware of new career, study, and travel opportunities. The courses are engaging and challenging, and students have the choice to take a few courses outside of the Italian department including those in other modern languages and some from entirely different disciplines, provided they are beneficial to the student's degree/career and complements courses taken within the program. Generous teaching assistantships are almost always offered to qualified students who are accepted into the program, which helps to significantly offset the cost of tuition as well as provides students with the growth that accompanies teaching a college foreign language course. CONS: There is usually a limited number of Italian Studies courses offered each semester, as the program is small. There are not as many choices as desired."

"Pros: Great campus life, and facilities. Lots of resources available for study and the school has a top notch career center. Teachers are passionate about their subjects and wish to develop a strong relationship with students Cons: As far as the Asian Studies program, its rather small. Because there are no mandatory classes finding a class that fits within the major is a hassle. Also the amount of teachers continues to shrink making it difficult to manage classes."

"The faculty is great, very open and helpful."

"This program is great! I heard it was good from others, but it wasn't until I was accepted into the program that I actually experienced it for myself."

"Florida State is an excellent graduate school. The opportunities of educational care and support are endless. Everything I need to be successful as a graduate student is all there. The programs are geared toward practical experience and excellence. The professors are accessible, flexible, and willing to help. Also, there are a plethora of resources available whether it's academic, social, or financial. There is the career center, the wellness center, the gym, the technology room, and plenty of restaurants and university services available. These are just a few perks that makes the quality of education even better. Overall, I give my school's graduate program a 10!"

"The Speech-Language Pathology Graduate Program at Florida State University is committed to providing their students with clinical experiences and learning opportunities to prepare them for their future careers as speech therapists. They try their best to provide financial aid to as many students as they can."

"It was a good fit because I went to a local school - not too far from home and a state school - a little less expensive. It was a good transition from high school to a more independent life/living situation. I found I could draw many parallels from a basic psychology education to the real world and many different industries and jobs. My first job out of college was in Human Resources and it definitely helped me get hired. Use college as a jumping off point in your life. It can transform you - unless you are driven to a specific career - get a broad education and take advantage of as many learning experiences as you can - travel abroad - self - study - internships, etc."

"I absolutely loved my college experience! It was somewhere where I didn't know anyone and could completely be who I wanted. The social experience was great and the degree path was great! I certainly would Go where you feel right"

"Knowing the grad school costs a great deal, the financial aid office should have been able to help much more with obtaining scholarships and the like since I was an undergraduate at the same school. However, I love the faculty; they are very kind and quick to respond. I was concerned about my deadline to apply, but the admissions and faculty were all very patient with my concerns."

"Law school is not known for being easy. That being said, I believe that FSU offers the best law school experience in the state of Florida. The alumni base is quite large and it helps when looking for a future job within the state."

"Great professors and best "bang for your buck""

"The professors are excellent and seem to truly care about you succeeding. The student affair office is excellent, as well as the placement office. The Law school community is very supportive."

"The program is very well established and the faculty are all experienced. The program itself is heavy on the research and academia focus but there is an applied portion as well that lends to gaining valuable experience during the graduate program. The applied experience is voluntary and up to the individual student to take initiative however. The career opportunities presented by faculty needs more work as offerings were limited to research or academic positions and not branched out to applied positions. Limits the job market potential."

"Faculty is extraordinary and facilities are beyond expectations. Truly satisfying environment"

"Florida State University is the best school! I would recommend it to anyone!"

"FSU's College of Medicine is fantastic! The environment is so warm and friendly. Students and staff are constantly smiling which makes you wonder if these students are really in medical school slaving away. FSU knows how to take care of their students and provide a high quality learning experience. FSU is equipped with all the lastest technologies such as video recorded lectures, access to tablets, and tech support galore. The workload gets pretty intense, but it's med school so it is expected. Overall FSU COM is top notch!"
