FSU is an amazing school that provides opportunities to excel in almost any major you can imagine, and along with the great academic opporunities, the whole experience of being a Seminole is one that I am truly proud to be a part of. Go Noles!

Amanda

To many who has never seen my school, Florida State may remind people a bit of Hogwarts from Harry Potter! There is a lot of brick and the main campus is centered in a kind of community which may be different to other colleges. When I first saw my school I was admiring the bricks buildings and Landis Green, a large green field in between strozier library and the honors dorm: Landis. Many students lay and sun bath, study, hang out, eat, play Frisbee and other sports, or are just passing through to get to class or the dining hall!

Allyson

Our campus is relatively compact for one with such a large student body; it doesn't take me more than 15 minutes to get from one side of campus to the other, and it's about four miles along the perimeter. All of the buildings are brick, which gives it a nice crisp feel in the fall, and the classrooms are equipped with all of the latest technology for teaching.

Tanya

The Florida State University is a well-rounded university in which school spirit flourishes in this large, but closely connected base of students.

Florida State University is an amazing school and has been such a rewarding experience to be apart of this past year.

Our campus looks like the college campuses in the movies. All brick buildings and elbow patched blazer clad professors with briefcases, frat boys wearing various pastel colored polos and Sperrys, various local vendors and student organizations with tables set up in the union on market wednesdays....

Tayler

An institution that prides itself on the academic, cultural, religious, athletic, and the family-like quality that it has achieved over the hundreds of years in service.

Ashley

Florida State, to me, looks like what college should look like. I think that the brick and spanish moss truly make FSU a beautiful campus.

Elizabeth

My school looks pretty clean until you get close to Tennessee Street, then it gets a little dirty and skeezy. But stay around Landis Green or the Humanities side of campus and it looks pretty spiffy.

Megan

Florida State University has a beautiful and diverse campus. Many of the buildings are beautiful constructed out of red brick, and the newly renovated William Johnson Building has gorgeous lecture halls that have been restored to what they would have looked like when the building was first constructed in the 1800s. The school isn't over developed - there are lots of greens and foilage on campus. The science section of the campus boasts state of the art buildings, while the liberal arts part is contains many of the older, brick buildings.

Scott

FSU has a very unique landscape that gives it a nice quality that provides a professional ambiance and a piece of eye candy. All buildings are made of solid red brick, a very rustic feel that is very appealing to the eye. The concrete paths snake through enormous trees that provide shade from the hot sun and home to lots of squirrels that like to run around. The campus itself isn't that large. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk from one end to to other (but this is without distractions). The student union is locating directly in the middle of campus, providing an easily foundation of student interactions before, during, and after class hours. Two dining halls are separated at the East and West sides of campus, surrounded by the the dormitories. The main library overlooks a vast green lawn, called the Landis Green, which is truly the heart of campus where people are always out enjoying the nice Florida weather. FSU has a very beautiful campus that sits in the middle of downtown Tallahassee, easily accessible to the mall or the movies for hanging on the weekends.

Gian

The campus is surrounded by trees, and has a very old-fashioned feel to it. The brick roads are a nice touch to the campus as well. I personally feel like the campus can be divided into two parts. There is the old side, and the newer side. The old side is where the music department, the art department and the english department are. The new(er) side of campus is mainly the psychology area, which is brand new. On this side there is also the Fresh Foods dining hall, which looks a lot newer and cleaner than the Suwannee dining hall.

Chelsea

My school has a very traditional campus. Practically all of the buildings have that Savannah, GA. red-brick and spanish moss look to them. The campus really prides itself on its bricks, fountains, and statues. You look around and can tell this place has history.

Jena

Walking around Florida State you would see beautiful brick buildings with great big trees everywhere you look. The leaves are always falling and the grass is always green as corny as that sounds. FSU emblems and memorial statues are located on many parts of the campus. It is pretty big compared to some colleges in Florida and easily accesible to get anywhere whether bike, scooter, bus, or car. Students dress chill and comfortable for class time and it is always busy. Not to mention the amazing Garnet and Gold!

Charneisha

Florida State University is a big university. The buildings are compiled of bricks to give it a older feel. The garnet and gold colors ring loudly through our campus. We have a huge football stadium that holds over 80,000 Seminole fans. To diversify our university even more, we have our very own circus with student performers.

Chelsea

Imagine a really small city, sandwiched between old-style brick buildings. Mix in roads that go nowhere, and random one way streets. This is the FSU campus, with apartment buildings, greek houses, and random buildings scattered around the edges. Be careful to new students, you're going to have to study the map before you can begin to understand this campus.

Christin

... but once you're used to it, it becomes really small. I know that when I came for orientation, I was completely overwhelmed with the size of the campus, but during my first semester as a freshman, I began to realize that it wasn't too bad. Most of the buildings are brick gothic-inspired buildings with tons of character. If you have time, take a walk through Dodd Hall. The stained glass windows are gorgeous.
