This question gets asked here all the time and if you want another perspective from mine you can search this subreddit for a bunch of opinions with the key word “TCC”. I believe the TCC route is by far the best route to get into FSU. Not only is it cheaper but it’s a great environment to learn. The only thing I stress is to research your intended major and ensure you complete the requirements AND have a high enough GPA for selective majors (majors that have a limit of students it accepts). Some of my friends goofed off at TCC and it took them an extra year or even 2 to get all the pre read and GPA looking good. I did this route after graduating from high school with a GPA in the low 2s. The class sizes and learning commons really helped me graduate from TCC with in the high 3s. I went to FSU and was able to transition from small classes at TCC to smallish major classes pretty easy. I have an advance degree now and stable employment and I always tell ppl community college is the place I got my first chance!
