Keep in mind what’s important to you.

•
Remember, in addition to choosing a college, you are choosing a home. Pay attention to how you feel when you visit campuses and interact with students and faculty.

Ask lots of questions – make contact with representatives from the Office of Admissions and, if you can, speak with someone in the academic departments which interest you.

Do’s and
DO choose your college or university because…
The
Don’ts of Choosing a
School
•
You’ve done your research. You know what’s out there, and your choice is a good fit.
•
It offers a full range of academic programs. Lots of majors means lots of opportunities.
•
The price is right. You’ve studied the costs and the financial aid packages.
•
The faculty is widely respected. The professors could have gone anywhere.
•
You’ve visited a number of colleges, and this feels like home. Trust your instincts.
DON’T choose your college or university because… •
Your girlfriend or boyfriend is going there. Sometimes relationships change once you get to college.
•
It’s too close to, or too far from, home. Neither matters.
•
Higher tuition buys a better education. Not necessarily.
•
It offers a great social life. Don’t they all?
•
It has a winning football team. How does that affect your degree?
Tips for a Successful College Visit Preparation is the key to a successful college visit. Learn as much as you can about the college beforehand. Many schools post valuable information for prospective students on their websites. Experience a college or university when classes are in session and faculty, staff, and students are available to answer your questions. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
Check the local weather ahead of time.
And while you’re on campus, remember to:
Arrive 15 to 30 minutes early to allow time for parking, check-in, and restroom breaks. Print out directions from the school’s website before you leave home. Your electronic navigational devices can’t help you secure parking.
View
Grab a bite to eat.
a residence hall or sample showroom. (For the security of all residence hall students, you may not be able to see a student room.)
*
Take photos of your favorite sites on campus.
Shop at the campus bookstore.
Attend a
Relax
sporting event or musical, dance, or theatrical performance.
and do some peoplewatching.
Spend some time in the student union (the hub of student activity). While you are there, pick up a school newspaper.
Visit
the main library.
Check out

the student recreational facilities.
Meet
with the faculty or staff of your intended major.
Admissions 101 Grownups, as well as classmates, will have lots of advice for you. Some good – some great – and some just plain inaccurate, although certainly well intended. We’ve included a few suggestions to help you through the confusing college application process. •
DO continue to work hard in your senior year by taking challenging college-prep courses and continuing to earn good grades during your junior and senior years. Remember, we’re watching.
•
DO take the time to proofread for misspellings and grammatical errors. This makes an admission rep think that you don’t care, or you can’t spell.
•
DO follow through to make sure your application and supporting documents have been received and do so well in advance of the deadline.
•
DO remember to include your signature and date on all required forms. Failure to do so could slow down the review process of your application.
•
DO keep track of important deadlines for admission deposits, housing contracts, financial aid, and scholarships.
•
DO NOT procrastinate. Waiting until the application deadline to apply is a common mistake that will create unnecessary stress on you and your parents, as well as the admission staff. Instead of asking “When is the deadline?” ask the professionals, “When should I apply?”
•
DO NOT let Mom or Dad fill out your application. It’s fine to get advice, but do the work yourself.
•
DO NOT use an email address that you and your friends may think is cute, but colleges won’t. In fact, you might want a separate email account just for the application process.
•
DO NOT forget to check your email. Colleges will communicate regularly through email, so don’t miss out.
•
DO NOT exclude your parents in your college search! You will need their involvement to help you figure out which colleges will suit your goals, your needs, and your budget. You can’t discount the value of their involvement in your education.

Welcome to Tallahassee! Home to the state’s Capitol, two major universities, and an array of museums, attractions, and unique experiences, Tallahassee shares a deep-rooted history and culture with unparalleled nature and outdoor recreation. Stretching along the Florida Panhandle, Tallahassee is a place where college town meets cultural center, politics meets performing arts, and history meets nature. Top 10 Things To Do…from our perspective! 1. Walk, bike, or even horseback ride down the St. Marks Trail, a historic 16-mile railroad trail which ends at the Gulf. Once you reach the water, relax at the Riverside Café, and enjoy some delectable stone crab claws or fresh oysters. 2. See the azaleas in bloom or explore a secret garden at Maclay Gardens State Park. Take advantage of the swimming lake and barbeque pits during the summer months. 3. Get an aerial view of Tallahassee from the Observation Deck, located on the 22nd floor of the Capitol Building. On a clear day, you can get a glimpse of the Gulf of Mexico. 4. Track down your favorite local bites at Food Truck Thursday on West Tharpe Street. Must eats? Chicken and waffles, fried shrimp, and cupcakes! 5. Canoe, kayak, or take a Jungle Boat Cruise down the scenic and clear Wakulla River, fed by one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world, and look for seasonal birds, manatees, and alligators.
6. Embrace the high point of Tallahassee’s cultural calendar when you partake in Seven Days of Opening Nights, a performing-arts festival that takes place each spring and spotlights FSU’s commitment to the arts – music, theatre, dance, visual art, film, and literature. 7. Get down to the Downtown GetDown, held each Friday in the fall, for concerts, food, dancing, and entertainment. 8. Browse through the Museum of Florida History and the Tallahassee Museum collections, ranging from historical artifacts to a variety of wildlife. Interested in seeing something off the beaten path? The Tallahassee Automobile and Collectibles Museum showcases over 130 automobiles, including the Batmobile. 9. Experience our local traditions and good old southern hospitality. The Tallahassee area hosts a plethora of festivals, offering arts and crafts, local cuisine (can you say funnel cakes?), music, and even parades. Check out our Springtime Tallahassee, the Winter Festival, the Watermelon Festival in Monticello, the Thomasville Rose Festival, and the Florida Seafood Festival in Apalachicola. 10. Bask in the Florida sunshine and cool off in the emerald-green waters of St. George Island, just a short drive from Tallahassee. Known for its white-sand beaches, visitors will be transported back to the simpler things of life…camping, biking, fishing, shelling, and numerous water sports in the paradise we call “The Forgotten Coast.”
Get Involved. Get Going. Get Fit. Get Away. Give Back. Your primary reason for attending college is to develop your academic and scholarly strengths, but what will you do after class? We encourage you to get involved, get going, get fit, get away, and give back. Here’s a sampling of things to do at FSU: Get acquainted and make new friends by participating in one or several campus organizations (we have over 550). From learning Chinese to sailing, there is a club that will strike your interest! Get going and enjoy kayaking, skiing, and other outdoor adventures at state and national parks with the skilled staff of Outdoor Pursuits. Get loud at all ’Nole athletic events. Get away from it all as you sunbathe, study, relax, play Frisbee, or sip lemonade in the bright Tallahassee sunshine on Landis Green, a favorite spot on campus. Get involved with every aspect of University life as a Student Government official. Get rhythm when you perform and march to the sounds of the Marching Chiefs. Get popcorn and gain free admission to independent, foreign, and blockbuster films in the Student Life Cinema. Get moving when you soar with the Flying High Circus, one of the oldest all-collegiate aerial circuses in America.
Get entertained by talented students and faculty when our music, theatre, and dance programs present hundreds of performances each year. Get experience while developing leadership and management skills in ROTC. Get engaged with students, professors, researchers, and scholars from more than 125 countries through the numerous multicultural activities offered at the Center for Global Engagement. Get competitive at the Rec SportsPlex, one of the largest collegiate recreational facilities in the country. Get fit on the track or racquetball, basketball, volleyball, and squash courts at the Leach Student Recreation Center. You’ll also find extensive cardiovascular and strength-training equipment at the Center. Give back to the community through ongoing or onetime service coordinated by the Center for Leadership and Social Change.

The Legacy Lives On If you’ve ever watched a Florida State home game, you’ve witnessed college football’s greatest tradition, according to a recent poll by ESPN SportsNation and EA Sports. Before every home game, Chief Osceola rides his majestic Appaloosa, Renegade, down the field carrying a 28-pound flaming spear. He rears the horse in front of 84,000 roaring fans and plants the spear in the middle of the field. This tradition has become a cherished pregame ritual, but how did it begin? FSU alum Bill Durham had the original idea when he was a student in the 1960s, but it wasn’t until the fall of 1977 that the idea came to life with the help of a new coach named Bobby Bowden. The performance debuted at the home game against Oklahoma State in 1978. Since its inception, Durham has trained a number of the Appaloosas and riders, and the authentic costume worn by the rider is designed by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Currently, FSU senior Drake Anderson rides as Chief Osceola. “I enjoy everything about game days—all the work and everything that goes into it,” Drake said. “It is a joy for me to be part of the program and be a part of the heritage.”
