20 Reasons Not to Go to FSU

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FSU chapter.

Are you thinking about applying to FSU in the future, but aren’t sure whether or not it’s the right school for you? Well here are a few reasons why you should definitely NOT attend FSU!

1. FSU has some of the worst football traditions in college football history. 

Covering your whole body in glitter isn’t that impressive. 

2. And how about that mascot?

Nobody wants to be around a live horse.

3. It’s not like the campus is even remotely beautiful.

No one likes sunsets over trees anyway.

4. Westcott is such an ugly building.

Cool architecture is overrated. 

5. And how about the tradition that goes along with its fountain?

Why would you want to get thrown in a fountain on your birthday?

6. It’s not like there’s anything to do in Tallahassee anyway!

Kayaking through the tree marsh at the Reservation isn’t fun at all.

7. Neither is that boring ropes and rock wall course that was just built.

It’s not like FSU is one of the only schools with this anyway. 

8. And who wants to go to a school with one of the best football teams in the nation?

Two undefeated regular seasons in a row isn’t even a big deal.

9. It’s not like FSU’s other sports teams are even nationally ranked. 

There aren’t THAT many national titles.

10. The weather in Tallahassee is just awful all year round.

68 degrees in January is such a drag. 

11. Being one of the few schools with a satirical newspaper isn’t a cool achievement either.

What even is an eggplant?

12. And how about that giant strip of grass right in the center of campus?

It’s not like students even hang out there anyway!

13. Seriously, no one hangs out there.

Having the ability to set up a hammock on your school’s campus just steps away from your classes isn’t cool anyway.

14. The dorms at FSU are basically jail cells.

Why would you want to be able to fit a whole couch in your dorm? That’s just useless!

15. And it’s not like the faculty at FSU is even relatively nice. 

Who wants to be told that they are loved when walking into a dining hall? No one!

16. It’s not like the music school is nationally ranked and in the top 5 public university music programs in the nation.

Why would you even want to go to a ranked music school?

17. The music school is basically the only thing that’s ranked at FSU.

Nope, nothing else is even remotely nationally ranked.

18. There’s nothing unique to just FSU.

Why would anyone want a circus at their school? It’s not like you can see it free of charge and even participate in it.

19. And the marching band is horrible.

Anyone can spell Beyoncé, it’s not impressive when hundreds of people playing instruments do it. 

20. And who even looks good in Garnet and Gold?

Obviously no one.

Clearly FSU is definitely not the right school for you, look at all these reasons you definitely SHOULD NOT go there. Definitely not.
