Save your time and money and go somewhere else. This school's toxic party culture sucks and it just isn't a welcoming environment. Tallahassee is awful. Don't walk, run to another school.

Instructors aren’t held to any set of rules for lesson planning.FSU doesn’t properly screen instructors or monitor their classroom behavior/materials
Buildings are full of mold and dust,prepare to be sick ALOT.No parking, so don’t go here if you aren’t living on campus.
Students crammed into the classrooms with improper ventilation

Class of 2025 is when brilliant students start coming to FSU, prior to that, many of them focus on wasting money and health at local clubs. Areas around campus are unsafe. The food is terrible in Tallahassee. FSUPD likes pulling people over and you will see 5 cars pulled over within an hour frequently around campus.

In my personal experience here, if you aren't involved with greek life and/or are not a party person, this school will be the worst 4 years of your life. It really does feel like the majority of people picked this school strictly because of its reputation as being one of the biggest party schools in the country. Also, the gym is way too small.
