As an FSU High School grad, current FSU biochemistry undergrad student, and an FSU-COM Early Decision applicant, I think I'll chime in here.
About the Campus
First off, FSU-COM is on the same campus as the undergraduate programs. Guys: the women are EVERYWHERE.
Also, let me just say that our campus is looking gorgeous as we have recently had a massive landscaping overhaul. The region of campus where the COM is is relatively new; new psychology and biology buildings, plus the COM itself isn't that old.
FSU is virtually clutter-less. We are mostly steam powered and you won't see power poles with lines running building to building. Trust me, you don't realize how much of an eye sore those are until they're GONE
We have well kept and mostly brick/concrete mixed walkways - but it is all bike, skateboard, & longboard friendly!
We have a super nice gym, complete with every machine and weight set you could imagine, plus an indoor pool, two hot tubs, two steam rooms, & a sauna. We have a health center that is in the process of being replaced by an even bigger one (will be completed June 2012).
Living Arrangements
Please take care of this ASAP! We have LOTS of housing around with a wide range of prices, BUT we have a large undergraduate population so apartments fill up fast. Basically, places get more expensive as you move away from campus, either north, east, or southeast (towards the richer parts of town). To the west and south, you encounter the country/redneck & "bad" parts of town.
Stuff to Do
1) Football season - be prepared.
2) FSU Reservation - free kayaking, obstacle course, lake "beach", and much more all free for students.
3) Night life - again, be prepared. We have an on-campus bar as well as too many to count off-campus clubs.
4) FSU Student Life Center - equipped with our own movie theater!
FSU really is a wonderful place. Good luck to all who are applying!
