I've applied to FSU and the Honors Program as an international freshman and am very interested in the Presidential Scholarship. However, although I believe I have good stats, I know it's VERY competitive (I heard it is about 60ish freshmen a year who get in), so I'd like to know about international students (or American students too!) who got it and what was the application process like for you (stats, the video, the interview...)

Any help would be great :)

What is an ok Orgo grade? I think I’ll end up with a c+ or b-… should I retake it? I know I’ll get at least a a- if I retake it

Hello everyone. I got a place close to school but turned out to be a shithole. Wanted to know if anyone had experiences with Providence Pointe specifically how safe the place is

Hey guys!

Just for context I'm a freshman IA major and thinking of doubling in finance. When I went to my most recent advising session I brought this up and they told me not to worry about working on any finance focused courses/pre-reqs right now. I was just wondering how that would work with map requirements? Like would I not be allowed to pick that as a second major later down the road based on the mapping requirements or is it just way too early for that to matter? Sorry if this is worded horribly/doesn't make sense.

Does anyone know when grades from the fall semester are updated on our unofficial transcripts? I’m applying to a Comms major and need my unofficial transcript for my application, but since I’m a first year I don’t have any classes from FSU on it yet.

Hi everyone!

I am trying to select a physics class for next semester but I am wondering which I should choose to take, physics without calculus (PHY2053C) or with calculus (PHY2048C). For context, I am a biology major and I took AP Calc AB in highschool and got an A. Id say I was pretty good at calculus but I am definitely not the best. Also its been more than a year since I've done any calculus. Right now I have PHY2048C because it worked best with my schedule and also all of the teachers for PHY2053C had TERRIBLE rate my professor reviews. Should I try to change it?? I have heard some people say bio majors die in PHY2048C while others say its not that bad and you just have to know how to do simple derivatives and integrals. Anybody have any advice or experience? Thank you!!

Feel free to drop a comment or DM if you’re interested, and we can talk details!

Hey everyone, my partner and I are looking to move into a studio/apartment together and are looking for a place that costs about $1000/month with possibly some amenities already included. Preferably a place close to campus, as well. Any recommendations?

I'm currently a high school student from Canada. I just sent in my Common App and the school is requiring me to send a Secondary School Evaluation. Since the deadline for any material is December 8th, I don't think I will be able to hand the evaluation in time. What should I do?

Hi I’m applying to FSU, my mom is a permanent resident in Florida but I don’t live with her I live with my dad she’s lived there for many years now and I did 1 year of Highschool there. Can I say I’m in state for Florida, my dad’s state of residency is in Washington and I live with him.

I'm looking for good off-campus housing next year really close to campus that isn't too expensive. I don't have a car and don't want to spend so long commuting every day. My budget is 900 or less. Does anyone know any places that are safe, close to campus, and not that expensive?

I got a speeding ticket recently for over $200. I disclosed this on my FSU application, as they asked if you’ve gotten any traffic violations for over $200. Do you think this means that FSU won’t accept me? I’m feeling really anxious and guilty about the whole situation. Also, I didn’t state how many miles over I was going, just that my citation was for unlawful speed. Do you think I should have included how many miles over I was?

Is anyone else having trouble searching for sources on the FSU libraries site? freaking out rn because I have a paper due tomorrow morning and I can't access my source

I signed up to teach an Engage 100 course in Fall 2025, and I know there’s financial compensation for it. However, I can’t recall the exact amount, and I can’t find the email where it was mentioned. Has anyone taught this course before? I’ve already been selected to teach it, so if anyone knows how much the pay is, I’d appreciate the information!

Does anyone know the acceptance rate to the nursing school? Thanks!

We offer companionship in hospice, but not direct patient care. I’m thinking whether to stop it if it won’t benefit me because I’m handling a lot right now.

Hi everyone,

I’m applying to the FSU CARE program, and I made sure to submit all my application materials by the early action deadline. I’ve already received an email confirming my application is complete and that I just need to wait for the decision release date.

However, I recently made changes to my FAFSA because I thought I made a mistake. After reviewing everything again, I realized my original FAFSA submission was actually correct, so I didn’t need to change it in the first place.

Now I’m worried—will updating my FAFSA impact my early action application? Could this push my application into regular decision, even though everything else was submitted on time?

I really want to get into FSU, and I’m overthinking this, but I want to be sure this won’t mess up my chances. Any insight or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks so much!

Hello! I’m reaching out to anyone who is currently applying for graduate programs at fsu or who have gone through the application process recently using the application portal. I have everything submitted that I need but the application says it’s incomplete and that I still have to submit materials. I have checked over and over and there is nothing to submit.

Has anyone else had this problem? Kind of panicking since I know no one is going to answer the phone/email.

Am I able to change my major after I’ve been accepted through the online change form or would I have to talk to an advisor?

Hey everyone! Just a quick question. Has summer enrollment for Graduate School already opened, and if it hasn't, what is the enrollment date? I could have sworn it was March but I somehow forgot again... 😅 Thanks! 😊🫶🏻

I’m just wondering this as a hs senior who’s going to get my decision on the 12th if most of the people who did early action applications put summer or fall as their preference. Me personally I put summer to try and give myself a better chance since the middle 50% is a bit lower, but I’m also wondering if everyone else also did the same thing as me wondering the summer application pool 😭 I’m very worried abt this application and have been anxious for like a 2 weeks already 🫠

Has anyone gotten a class during drop/add that had a reserve cap that was lifted? I’m minoring in business and was wondering if it was possible that the reserve cap for Business Comm. would get lifted and I could get a spot

I'm interested in going to FSU for medical school, and I'm aware that students go to the Tallahassee campus for their first and second years and are assigned a community campus for their 3rd and 4th years.

One of the community campuses is located in Pensacola, which is a city I have family in and, if possible, it would be easier for me financially to live with them for my 3rd and 4th years. Is there any way I could request to be sent to the Pensacola campus?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi, I was wondering how hard it is to get a spot in a class during drop/add week. All of the calc 2 spots are full, and I wasn’t sure of my chances of getting a class. Should i be worried?

Do gay people exist in non-dedicated lgbtq+ Greek life, specifically frats, or is that looked down upon?

Hey guys! I was wondering is anyone has had a similar situation or any tips on what to do. I left for break on Sunday and went home on the RedCoach that leaves from Pensacola garage. I left my car on the roof of Pensacola like I usually do and they just sent out an email saying that it would be closed for booster parking from Friday night to Sunday morning. I won’t be back in Tallahassee until Sunday night and don’t have anyone that can move my car for me. Will my car be towed or is there anything I can do? Thank you guys!

Does anyone have an extra student ticket to the football game on Saturday? My friend wasn't given a ticket and this was supposed to be our first football game together. If anyone has an extra one, it would be really greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!
