Florida State University Top Questions

Describe the students at your school.

Amy

The students at FSU are one of many great things about the university. We are all open to many different ideas and opinions and are open to criticism as well. The students are always working hard and you can visit any library on campus at any time of the day and see a big number of students studying, its what we do best. I don't really think any student would feel out of place because there are a variety of different groups of kids here and I think anyone that came would find their niche. Furthermore, I see so many different types of clothing that kids wear to class. Some like to dress up, some wear work out clothes, in the winter however everyone is pretty much in jeans and a jacket because it gets a bit nippy out.

Kendall

The students at Florida State University are very laid-back and easy to get along with. Classes are extremely diverse in every aspect, from nationality to wardrobes. In my time spent at FSU so far, I have not seen a single student discriminated against or bullied for something about them that stuck out. Everyone is struggling to get out of bed for an 8 AM so even students wearing pajamas to class that early are not judged, in fact they're applauded for having the audacity to wear such clothing to an early class. Financially, FSU is diverse in the fact that we have students that come from all sort of backgrounds. No matter what background you come from, you're not judged in any sense. Every single person at FSU is different in their own way and there are clubs to pertain to every person in one way or another. At Florida State, no matter what you are interested in you will have somewhere to go to find other people that share your interest.

Students at FSU come from a myriad of cultural backgrounds and upbringings, yet all unite to promote academic excellency, friendship, and leadership. The student body is unconquered!

Kelsey

Florida State University holds some of the Unites States most intelligent, genuine, happy-hearted people I have ever met; not once have I walked around campus and have not seen someone like me, someone I can relate too, and someone I aspire to be like. There is beauty in that situation because in classes, true disscusion and learning can take place that streches your scope of knowledge. My classmates are my peers, friends, motivation and last but not least my inspriation.

Florida State University is a college filled with academically aggressive students that are very respectable.

Gwen

From my experience, there are two main categories of students at FSU : the ones who come to class and the ones who don't. Within these two categories are smaller scale divisions, mainly from the "ones who come to class" section. Here it splits off into those who love the class and subject matter, and those who are only taking the course to fulfill a requirement for their major.

Nicholas

my classmates are diverse and inquisitive

They are very intelligent, nice people and they strive towards excellence in what they do. At some points I ask myself how some of them got into this school but then I just shrug it off. The people are nice and that's all that really matters in the end I suppose.

They are pretty serious about wanting to learn what the teacher is trying to teach. Depending on what level your class is, you're faced with a lot of really serious students.

Jennifer

They are all very unique and individual.

April

My classmates at Florida State University were very intriguing characters. My major was Information technology so my peers were extremely tech savvy and oddly inventive when it came to computers. Because our college was one of the smaller ones, the students got to know each other very well. The entire class of 2012 was eager to get involved on campus since the day we stepped foot on FSU back in 2008. We set high goals for our class and accomplished them. The class of 2012 was like no other.

Rachel

The students in my school are very diverse, even though the majority are from in-state. I've never seen a group of people that I think would feel out of place on campus, as the dining hall is full of mixed tables in regards to race, religion, gender, politics, and overall interests. We have a fairly aware and accepting group of people, and organizations are very awareness-minded into making sure it stays that way. We have LGBT and racial organizations on campus who are constantly organizing events to raise attention to causes and to just let people have fun. George Takei from Star Trek was on campus a few months ago, as well as Maya Angelou to speak about their experiences.

Stephanie

Everyone here is unique; you'll run into every single type of person- it is a very diverse campus.
