r/fsu

Hey everyone! I’m an international student from Asia and FSU is honestly my dream school. I’m currently considering applying for Marketing/Business, and I’ve been researching the school for a while. I absolutely love the football culture, Greek life, school spirit and overall college experience.

The only thing making me nervous is the acceptance rate. I’ve seen some pretty low numbers online, so I’m not really sure how competitive FSU actually is for international students. (I think that they often prioritize in-state students.)

For some context, my current GPA is 8.2/10 (roughly around a 3.3/4.0, although I know the conversion isn’t exact), but I’m still in high school (i'm a junior) so I have time to improve it as much as I can before applying. I’m aiming for a 7.0 IELTS as well. For extracurriculars, I have some leadership experience at school, volunteering/community service, and Media/Content-related activities.

Do you guys think it’s realistically possible for me to get into FSU if I can bring my GPA up and build a stronger application over the next couple of years? And for international students who have actually applied, how competitive did you find it?

FSU is genuinely my #1 dream school, so I’d really appreciate any honest advice on what I should focus on from now to give myself the best possible chance.

burner bc im embarrassed lol...

im a 20F sophomore and I had a pretty rough first year and basically spent all my time alone or with the same 2 people. I have no idea how to meet people and I'm way too shy to go to events or join clubs. I dont drink and I barely go to the club/parties but id occasionally go with my friend that does party... I'd love to meet some people and spend more time out of my apartment this year (:

hey guys, i’m an international student planning to major in marketing and i’m currently deciding between FSU and SDSU. i’m honestly so torn 😭

FSU seems to have that really traditional american college vibe with football, greek life, parties, school spirit and everything happening around campus, while SDSU is in San Diego so there’s the beach, good weather, a bigger city and more stuff to do outside of campus. SDSU also seems pretty good for business/marketing.

for anyone who goes to either school or knows people who do, which one do you think is more fun overall? like where would you say you’d make the best memories, meet more people, have a better social life and actually enjoy your 4 years?

also how different are the greek life/football scenes between the two? and as an international student, is it hard to make friends at either school?

basically if you had to choose again, FSU or SDSU?

New to the area no idea what to do. Beyond bored all my friends stayed in my hometown.

Thank you!

I’m interested in taking General Chemistry 1 with her and I’ve read through all of her Rate My Professors reviews. I was wondering how the class is broken down and for those who have taken it about how many questions were typically on the tests and quizzes.

they have these dorm rooms set to hospital levels of cold. im pulling out hoodies amidst 90 degree weather

Hello I am an incoming transfer student at fsu. I recently tried on Friday to get my general parking pass on the parking portal but all of a sudden my password and username won’t let me log into my account . I already registered and created an account in the portal not that long ago. I tired to call transportation and no one answered I also emailed them and haven’t heard back yet. I tried to put in my email to reset my password and it said the results were ambiguous and that I would have to contact transportation. I don’t know what to do about this sense no one has responded to be any suggestions or advise please?

I know that registration for the free student parking (VW) was supposed to start on August 13th. That option has not been popping up in my parking portal, only the paid options. I already emailed parking services, and I've called a few times with no answer. Is this happening to anyone else? I am registered for classes in the fall.

I lived in Rogers last year, and I left a power strip plugged in the wall by mistake when I moved out. What does staff do with left behind items? Is there a lost & found, or is everything thrown out?

For some background I’m in high school and one of my top Uni choices is FSU. In the future I want to major in nursing at FSU. So for anyone who is currently in FSU nursing program or in their last year what are all the classes you took or had to take throughout the program? Whether it be pre reqs or just classes everyone has to take despite what your majoring in. I’m asking so I can plan out what classes I can take now while in high school to fulfill these credits so I don’t have to take it if I hopefully get into FSU in the future.

As we get closer to welcome week and the semester starting does anyone have good places to apply for. Idk if they were hiring earlier or if right now would be the best time cause everyone is about to get back to tally

This is nuts !!! I still have nothing showing !!!

Hi there! I just saw the Class of '30 went through orientation recently and I thought it might be helpful to lend a hand and give some advice if anyone wants any!

I lived in Tally and went to FSU for 5 years getting my Bachelor's in Media Communication Studies and a Master's in Integrated Marketing Communication. I recieved scholarships for grad school and I worked most of the time I was in college doing things related to my degrees. I work at a large and well know company now and I had an amazing time at FSU and know lots of spots in town if you need any recommendations. Moved to NYC right after college too so I've been around haha.

I graduated with my Master's in 2021, so I'm not super old 😅 Please let me know if I can help!

Basically what the title says. The bus I was suppoused to take cancelled the ride and now I dont have any way to go. Ill pay you 150$+
