Opinions on FSU

[Anonymous]

Do you know about it? What is the reputation nationwide? In-state many prefer FSU to UF despite the ranking difference due to general atmosphere, but wondering about elsewhere.

Everyone who goes or went there loves it. It has a nicer campus than UF. The girls are foyine. Awesome Greek scene. Big football culture even though the team was ass this year. Still, I suspect the main reason it gets more in-state applications than its rival is because it's seen as an easier admit.

They're both around 25% admission rate, UF very slightly lower. My impression is most FL students who are somewhat good students apply to both.

Test score ranges and high school class rank distribution aren't even in the same ballpark.

UF is a much harder admit.

The joke in Florida is:

What do a UF grad and an FSU grad have in common?

They both got into FSU.

Do some people pick FSU though over it?

I think for music, maybe some nursing. (source: grew up in Florida, also the joke is correct)

So even now in a much more competitive landscape people look down on FSU?

I'm from Florida. UF is seen as more prestigious for sure, but the people I know who went to FSU did just fine.

FSU is still ranked in the T5 consistently for biggest party school. That is it’s reputation.

[Anonymous]

I would put it on level with Alabama and Ole Miss. If that's the level you are looking at, I've heard kids love it.

It is not comparable to UF.

Both those schools' grads aren't banking on "prestige" for anything.

When I grew up in Florida, going in state was basically free with Bright Futures so a lot of kids stayed. So UF was incredibly popular even among the high stats kids because free.

That is still the case, more so than ever with OOS and private costs rising. It's hard to get into, and so is FSU. Hard to turn down a free ride.

Not a good school is my impression.
