FSU is most known for its academics, atheltics, and Flying High Circus.

Samantha

FSU is a university full of traditions. One of my favorites is throwing people in the Westcott Fountain on their birthdays. It is something of a right of passage and students often do it after a night of celebrating at the Strip across Tennessee Street. Every year there is an entire week dedicated to celebrating Homecoming. Football is a great tradition at FSU and no student's experience as an undergrad is completed without doing the chop in Doak Campbell Stadium and rooting on the Seminoles.

Daniel

Have a good time, which won't be hard, but remember that you are here to learn and plan your life. Try new things and open yourself up to new ways of thinking and living. Find out who you really are and not what you were raised or influenced to be. College is all about self discovery. Become who you want to be and put forth the effort required.

Shira

My school is best known for its atmosphere. The students are very school-spirited and enjoy partying. The social aspect of this school is revolved around greek life and its hard to get involved or to be accepted if you are not a part of it.

Francesca

The school spirit. During football season, the place to be seen is inside the stadium flaunting your garnet and gold. No matter the weather, students are happy to cheer on their fellow students. Though football season captures the essence of our school spirit, it does not end there. Florida State University is proud of its long history, and the old brick buildings remind students that they are one in millions that have walked those passageways in hopes of persuing their dreams; this shared past unites us and all students rejoice in a chance to wear their garnet and gold.

Appalachian State is best known for being such an alternative school in the sense that the majority of the community, for once, are the people who love being outside more than sitting around on a computer or playing video games. As someone studying plants for natural medicine, I appreciated the area and all the adventures to be discovered Searching for mushrooms and flowers with my botany field guide while trekking across campus or through the woods with my professors and classmates was the perfect hands-on way to learn during labs. We even did that for some lectures!

Florida State University is usually thought to be a "party" school, but in fact we are nationally renowned for academic achievement at the undergraduate level as well as for our athletic achievements.

We may love our football team, but at the end of the day our main focus is still on academics and pushing the envelope.

Florida State University is best known for their traditions. At football games it's amazing to see thousands of fans doing the "chop", singing the school fight song, and chanting on our now retired but legendary head coach, Bobby Bowden. Athletics arn't the only thing students rally for, however. Groups around campus are known for their involvement in huge service events such as our annual dance marathon.
