Florida State University Top Questions

When I step back and think about my forty thousand classmates here at Florida State University many things come to mind they are all intelligent, driven, and very school spirited however one idea seems to stick out in my mind and that would be that each class contains a diverse group of people from every walk of life each bringing their own unique characteristics to the table.

Very inquisitive and open minded for the most part. Sometimes attitudes are attacking towards others beliefs (especially in religion classes) but the professors do an excellent job of reminding students of the scholarship of the study of religion, the objectiveness in which we must view it in a university setting, and invite tolerance of opinions. Very diverse cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities, social/economic status in the students. Very good environment for discussions of ethics, culture, etc.
