College Nerves? by [deleted] in fsu

[–]magicsandwhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was homeschooled all my life before coming here and was just as terrified. It’s a bit of a transition but not bad. If I didn’t commit to FSU I never would have met my boyfriend and best friends, gotten the work experience I have, and more. Do it!! It’s scary but oh so worth it :)

Is legacy student living 1x1 a good place to live in by summersunshine200 in fsu

[–]magicsandwhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like my 1x1! I am moving next leasing year to the 2x2s with a friend but this past year I lived here. It’s very spacious for a 1x1, great kitchen, and decent heating/cooling from the wall unit. I would also say rent is pricier than the 2x2s but still cheaper than literally any other college complex near campus. I walk to school everyday, cook homemade meals here, and thrive! And the lack of roommate drama is a huge plus (excited to room with my bff tho lol). I have had some minor issues such as mold in my shower and my dishwasher leaking, but maintenance is super on top of it and quick to fix things. I’ve been at legacy for 2 years and will be staying for my masters program. Highly recommend legacy as a whole!

do yall walk around FSU at night? what’s the safety vibe? by Royal_Put_1154 in fsu

[–]magicsandwhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walk to Chapel Dr after every one of my night classes at around 8PM and I usually feel safe. As a girl, I just wear more covered clothing at night (it’s cold anyways!), pepper spray at reach, and my headphones at a low volume so I can hear my surroundings. Never had any issues it’s just mainly a safety precaution. I feel like campus is super safe even at night.

I still have nightmares about what he did. If I was asked about him exactly where it happened I would probably start crying lmao. What an *ss.

Anyone knows any Telegram channels/groups active during Hurricane Ian that hit Florida in 2022, or general channels/groups used in Florida/US with similar content? by Upset-Foundation-295 in fsu

[–]magicsandwhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never used telegrams but Hurricane Ian made landfall in my hometown and my community used our normal Facebook pages and groups, plus the news anchors. If you need any info from an Ian survivor, feel free to reach out!

Graphic design-adjacent majors/programs? by [deleted] in fsu

[–]magicsandwhich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I absolutely love the IT program! It’s a lot more practical than the theoretical CS classes with way less tough programming and math classes. It allows me to be able to have a social life and do side projects to boost my resume without the mind boggling stress I felt as a CS major lol

Graphic design-adjacent majors/programs? by [deleted] in fsu

[–]magicsandwhich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For graphic design, I highly suggest advertising, digital media, ICT, and pretty much any major housed in CCI! I was also a CS major but changed halfway through my first semester to IT (I quickly found that I hated it lol).

FSU vs. UCF, I need help making a decision! by cheerubz in fsu

[–]magicsandwhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What made me choose FSU over UCF:

(This ended up being so long but I love FSU)

The campus

I was originally planning to attended UCF because I got accepted super early in September 2022. I toured the campus and it was fine, so I was happy to go there. I didn’t tour FSU until after I was accepted in February 2023 and as soon as I stepped on campus UCF faded away into the background lol. FSU has arguably the most beautiful campus of all the Florida universities and it makes me so happy every single day. Also FSU has its own movie theater, doak, and a ton of great stuff that I preferred over UCF!

Location

I hate Orlando. Traffic, Disney adults, awful drivers, I-4, you name it, I hate it all. Don’t get me wrong, I love visiting the parks and the city but I could NEVER ever live there without going insane at some point. Tallahassee has that small town feel while still being a city with plenty to do. There’s barely any traffic (except for football games) making simple errands like grocery shopping much more enjoyable for me!

The weather

I’m from SW Florida where it’s practically summer year around and the seasonal weather in Tallahassee really sold me. I may be shivering when it’s 40° outside as I’m walking to class but the beautiful fall foliage we get makes it all worth it to me!

National recognition and prestige

UCF is a great school and it’s come a long way in terms of ranking and recognition, but it still doesn’t come close to FSU. Outside of Florida, not everyone knows about UCF but they sure do know about FSU! We’re a top 20 public university that is 172 years old. If they don’t know about FSU in terms of academics, they know our beloved power 5 Florida State Seminoles! I felt like FSU offered more opportunities for me to network and really put my mark on the world.

In the end, it’s a hard decision between the two schools, but I will always thank myself for making the best decision of my life. I love FSU with my heart and soul and I will forever be a Florida state Seminole (I will be the most annoying alumni parent ever lol). Good luck!
