Interesting and historic university.

Tips: Turns out that Tallahassee is more peaceful than I imagined, but that’s worked out well because the student community is really involved and inclusive. Prepare to deal with the hot and humid weather, though. Getting my scholarship was nice because it’s based on merit, but I’ve heard that the current policies have made it unpredictable to win one.

Great faculty and facilities.

Tips: I came here with very mixed feelings. The tuition and living costs can really add up, so there is pressure to make something out of it. But the university has been quite understanding of it, and the faculty are helpful in times of distress and emergencies. The labs are also well funded, and my advisor has been a great help. Take your time, and once you get to know the place, you'll surely be happy.

The academics are strong and can be stressful at times.

Tips: One of the things that made me want to pursue my education here was the open-mindedness and freedom in customising your degrees which allows you to experiments and broaden your learning rather than simply confine to one field. Side from academics, the campus is buzzing with games, club activities and skill development programs. The professors are also very involved and host office hours. Also, you can reach out to them anytime. They are always ready to help you out.

FSU - The party school of Florida.

Tips: Be ready for a culture shock and be prepared to live on your own. The most important life skill to learn is cooking, which can really make things easier. Lots of part-time jobs are available on campus, and even university jobs are out there, but be prepared for some stiff competition.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of teaching is really good, and we can access and use all university resources for free, such as library space, study space, and device support. There are a lot of Indians here, so it would be easy to settle down. The Indian students association of Tallahassee FSU helps most of the international students at different occasions.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a limited number of Indian restaurants, but Mayuri has a lunch buffet that is affordable and tasty. Persis is near FSU, has the best taste and is open until midnight. A few restaurants are Persis, Indian Grill, Mayuri Indian restaurant, Essence of India, Zhaan Aaru's multicuisine restaurant, etc.
