Florida State University (FSU) (2025-2026)

[muted widget]

i lowk have no idea

my number is like 1400

also is there a way i can have ragans apt at number 1 and then landis hall for number 2

[fading sparrow]

are you in honors?

[muted widget]

yes

[fading sparrow]

if im remembering correctly wasnt there a different section where you chose preference between ragans/mccollum/salley/MADD/historic halls

ok i might be hallucinating

found this screenshot i sent here back when i was doing my preferences

[muted widget]

ts is all i have plus the rankings at the bottom

[fading sparrow]

ohhh ok thats good actually

we had to manually make that order

this simplifies things

[muted widget]

and the rankings are the same as what hound sent in his screnenshot

[fading sparrow]

i lived in landis for a summer

was a lovely location

[muted widget]

is it nice

[fading sparrow]

err

yes and no

about a quarter of the rooms are triples

i was in a triple

but that shouldnt be too much of an issue

it was a very big triple tbh i didnt mind it at all but i know some people are scared of it

[muted widget]

i dont think id get a triple

[fading sparrow]

and yeah your contract number is good

[muted widget]

its like 68% doubles

and i have 1400

so

[fading sparrow]

other than that

the skybox was a godsend'

because people lowkey are always watching movies or hanging out in the study rooms so it was a great place to study

[muted widget]

should i do business LLC? im kinda scared theyre all gonna be loser chuds who do nothing but party

maybe a stereotype but

[fading sparrow]

are you rushing

[muted widget]

whats that

hell no

[fading sparrow]

big ass lounge on the top floor of landis overlooking landis green

lots of tables and chairs

[muted widget]

oh thats looks studious as hell

looks cool

[fading sparrow]

this image is the only one i could find online and looks old

theres less chairs/couches and more tables

apparently the lore is that landis was built as the seniors dorm and this used to be their smoking parlor

hence high ceilings

[muted widget]

ahhh thats W lore

[fading sparrow]

other than that uhhhh water lowkey went cold from time to time but that has happened in literally every dorm ive lived in

[muted widget]

yikes

[fading sparrow]

wifi was much better in landis than dorman for some reason

[muted widget]

thats good thats important to me

[fading sparrow]

there are ethernet ports in every room i just dont use them

[muted widget]

u think landis should prolly be my first preference? i dont see why not

[fading sparrow]

i think so yes

[muted widget]

okay okay ill do that then

and have ragan apt as number 2

[fading sparrow]

just a word of caution if youre scared of wasps never ever enter/leave through the back door of landis

that entire courtyard is infested

[muted widget]

💀 is there a nest

wow

alrighty then

why dont they clear those out....

[fading sparrow]

there are wasps everywhere here 🥀 but its always been particularly bad there

[muted widget]

do u live on campus?

[fading sparrow]

yes

ive lived in basically every dorm type imaginable

triple in landis double in dorman currently double in degraff and next sem apt in traditions

[muted widget]

this is gonna be my list i think

with honors as number 1 preference

[muted widget]

damn thats a lot of moving around lol

[fading sparrow]

looks good

[fading sparrow]

indeed...

[gloomy root]

is ur username a protect reference

also shoyld i be filling out housing apps if i havent decided on a uni

[muted widget]

elite ball knowledge? but no its a walker texas ranger reference lmao

[muted widget]

in fsu's case yes probably

[shut thorn]

bros cooked

[gloomy root]

how

[gloomy root]

fsu is like my last resort lowk

ur usf

or

but yea i might b cooked caue i dint get most of my decisions til later this month

[shut thorn]

i saw people saying they have high 3000’s after fsu housing contract on the 25th and 26th

maybe early 4000’s idk

[gloomy root]

wtf is that

[shut thorn]

like contract number

[gloomy root]

idk what rhose numbers mean

ih shit

[shut thorn]

#1 is the best

4000 is number 4000 in line

[gloomy root]

3000-4000 nean my place yup

its wraps 😂

hopefully i dont go to fsu

not a good engineering program

or i mean

idk its solid js not as good as ucf or uf

[shut thorn]

ye

[fading sparrow]

it’s also just a bit inconvenient that it’s off campus

[gloomy root]

to be fair its the only engineering collab program in usa no?

[glad stratus]

actually crazy how even w Vires i got less financial aid from FSU than UF

[little frost]

js a sign that fsu sucks

😭

[little frost]

im beginning to hate fsu bc they r spamming my email with "do your dorm request today!"

like no shut the fuckup

[muted widget]

FSU gave me not enough money so i probably gotta go to UTampa

I would need them to give me a minimum of 5k more a year and i dont know if my financial aid appeal could do that much

[little frost]

go utampa

uh

go spartans

[muted widget]

true

w spartans

[glad stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/he-made-a-statement-statement-dog-gang-praised-gif-14847923944265501688

[glad stratus]

REAL

like guys I’m not even going there pls shut it

[muted widget]

@fading sparrow do you think itd be manageable to work part time to pay tuition and also double major at fsu 💀

bc i lowk cant go unless i work part time while im there

not challenging majors i should mention, theyd be hr management and polisci

[shut thorn]

I’m not in college but I’ve done 10 hour weeks for 4 months, 15 hour weeks for over a year, and 25 hour work weeks during high school for like 5 months

if you keep it sub 10 hours it is super easily manageable

after 15 hours it’ll get annoying

you’ll probably have better time management in college than high school anyway since high school requires a physical presence

[fading sparrow]

short answer is yes long answer is how long do you think it’ll take to find a job

[muted widget]

hopefully not that long 😭 just at like chick fil a or something lol

[shut thorn]

Dawg places like those attrition rates prob so high

And they prob got a lot of students working so they have to get a lot of ppl since less full time employees

You’ll get a job quick

[gloomy root]

anyone get the acceptance packet yet for RD

[little frost]

i got it for ea

its

harddd

[gloomy root]

whatd it include? i cant wait for ts even tho im not going

[little frost]

its hard

[gloomy root]

or eng

[gloomy root]

ur gna love fsu anyway bro the party scene is great its js the STEM isnt that good

[little frost]

oh yea stem here is bad

but business is pr gud from what ive heard

[gloomy root]

i applied CS initally for all but i changed usf fsu ucf to EE in which they all allowed me switch my major and for UF i called their office they said i can change it to eng during orientation

[little frost]

oo nice nice

[gloomy root]

for GT and berkeley im sticking with CS

[little frost]

yeah i applied cs @ uf too

[little frost]

gl man

[gloomy root]

thank you

[little frost]

i applied finance @ fsu cuz cs here is like

so bad

[gloomy root]

yea bro im ngl tho the acceptance didnt say my major tho so idk how that works

[little frost]

yeah they dont admit by major idt

you declare it when u. go there im ps

[gloomy root]

did u appl CLAS CS or eng CS

[little frost]

eng

[gloomy root]

danggg

[little frost]

yeah its tuff

💔

my other schools r literally goated for cs but the feaking cost

😭

[gloomy root]

wait for engineering would u rec ucf or uf my friend who got in said hed rather go to ucf for th nasa and lockheed stuff

[little frost]

it depends on the engineering lowkey

but ucf is better for eng imo

[gloomy root]

aye bro the roi is great

even tho it cost alor

[little frost]

yeah nah roi is great but we legitimately cannot afford it

so imma js grind @ fsu

and hope for the best

[gloomy root]

mmmmm i seeee but i feel like nationally UF has an edge for engineering no? like i understand UCF has the programs and connections IN STATE but yk

[little frost]

oh yea fs

i think

if ur aero

ur good at ucf

[gloomy root]

loannn but ngl i cant b saying anything cause im not gna do a loan 😂 but yea i dont think i can even afford in state i have to wait for a cohple scholarships to hit

my fsu fin aid package had me at $20k a year

[little frost]

thas not that bad lowk

[gloomy root]

w loans it was 15k i was like fuckkk noo

[little frost]

wait

r u oos

or instate

😭

[gloomy root]

in state

bright futures

100%

[little frost]

gotchu

i mean shi

[gloomy root]

i was lik yea im not going here for their engineering provram and price

[little frost]

instate fsu and uf r legitimately goated

[fading sparrow]

i feel the COA is slightly exaggerated

[little frost]

yea

cuz it assumes ur getting the best dorms most expensive meal plans n everything

[gloomy root]

but then again i coulda negotiated since my dad lost his job and he made up a majority of our household income

2/3 of our incme is gone

[fading sparrow]

personal and transportation expenses are negligible if you know how to be broke

[little frost]

i think ill be paying like

15k yearly??

which i will GLADLY take

[fading sparrow]

my billed expenses from the school are about 5500/sem with full bright future and vires

[gloomy root]

dang did u apply EA?

my friend got vires

[little frost]

yeah

[gloomy root]

but i didnt

[little frost]

i didnt get vires either

💔

[gloomy root]

did u get an oh shi

[fading sparrow]

i did hs class of ‘24 cycle

[gloomy root]

well its too bad i applied RD to apl my schools

[little frost]

?

[gloomy root]

did u apply EA at thag time

[fading sparrow]

yes

[gloomy root]

i was asking if u got vires then u said no

[little frost]

ohh

i didnt get vires w a 1500 and 4.52 w

😭

[gloomy root]

its all good bro claude said my coa at GT if i get in and i get my scholaeships will b cheaper than UF

[little frost]

crazy

and got waitlisted uf

[gloomy root]

bro whatttttt

thats so dumb

[little frost]

uf is dumb bro

[little frost]

😭

gt cheaper than uf

is crazy

😭

[gloomy root]

deadass 😭😭

[little frost]

ay praying u get gtech then

🙏

wait

yea

nvm

[gloomy root]

thank you bro

[little frost]

im sped

😭

[gloomy root]

yo wha

😭

[little frost]

no cuz i thought gtech rd alr came out

i confused it w uf rd

😭

then i realized this comes out next week

i think

[gloomy root]

ohh yeaa

yea it doesp

and berkeley

fuhh bro why di i aplly to berkely

r u dong dual enrollment? @little frost

[little frost]

uc tuition is fried

[gloomy root]

flr real

[little frost]

I did ONE cs course at fsu

[gloomy root]

damn 😭

[little frost]

no wonder everyone shits on stem here

[gloomy root]

[gloomy root]

dang

[little frost]

go noles

I js don’t wanna be called a uf reject

😭✌️

[gloomy root]

[little frost]

ur rite

[gloomy root]

thats when they get rejected from everything

[little frost]

😭

nah usf is good

UCF is good

FAU is js

idk

[gloomy root]

yea imo usf ahs the best campus cause its in th city

abd ucf

or js a college in a city

[little frost]

I think fsu got like a similar acceptance rate to uf atp

[gloomy root]

like GT 😩😩

[gloomy root]

for sure

[little frost]

so like istg if I get called a uf reject

[gloomy root]

and usf too kinda but easier

[little frost]

immediately showing them my stats

[gloomy root]

apparerly median usf sat was 1300’s im p sure

[little frost]

damn usf on the rise

Florida colleges lowkey on the rise

[gloomy root]

yea bro u coyld def get into a t15-10 or atleaat have a shot w those stats

[little frost]

I wish bro

[gloomy root]

i kno that lowk sounds backhanded but my stats r considerably worse so its ok

[little frost]

gtech rejected me uiuc rejected me Duke rejected me uva rejected me

[little frost]

😭

nah ur gud man

[gloomy root]

brooooo i had those schools on my list but i removed all em except gt

damn bro

[little frost]

idk why I applied to Duke when im an unc fan

still questioning that

[gloomy root]

mmm ngl i canr say anytging bout college sports cs i dont keep up

[little frost]

they r greedy asf too

[gloomy root]

only keep up w nfl and college fb occasionally

[little frost]

js know fsu and uf hate each other

and uf and um hate each other

but on a less serious level

[gloomy root]

aye ifs good bro im a husky at heart

born in seattle

[little frost]

oh wow

I love Seattle bro

💔

[gloomy root]

i know but the homeless

[little frost]

perfect mix of nature and the city

[little frost]

tbh that’s every big city

[gloomy root]

my parents want me to stay in fl and dont want me to go back so i guess my mom is lowk happy i got waitlisted lol

my dad diesnt even kno i applied to udub

[little frost]

😭

I got rejected from udub

[gloomy root]

yea but wa in general

[little frost]

wait brk waitlist at udub for cs is crazy good

[gloomy root]

on shir no no for udub i applied MechE

[little frost]

ooo

[gloomy root]

lmao

[little frost]

still tho I think udub good for that

[gloomy root]

i guess but im not varunteed my major nm

my friend in state got in but he got one of those provrams where he has to retake his credits

so his dual enrollment didnt go through basically

for ece

[little frost]

oh damn

[gloomy root]

ngl all my in state friends got fried

onlh 3 got in

4

[little frost]

I was born in Utah and moved here like in 3rd grade

been a nole ever since

🤞

[gloomy root]

dyupps bro

[little frost]

goddamn

[gloomy root]

is utah beautiful

[little frost]

hell yeah

[gloomy root]

like the environemnt

[little frost]

miss Utah

it’s js white heaven

[gloomy root]

i js think its middle of no where ngl like wyoming but i kno that area has a lot of nature

[little frost]

everyone there is white

[gloomy root]

yea 😂

[little frost]

nah Utah lowkey

[gloomy root]

those utah girls on tiktok w fried hair

[little frost]

ah hn

yea bro they

r different

[gloomy root]

😂😂

[fading sparrow]

are you mormon

lowkey like half the professors in my dept are mormon/went to byu

[little frost]

nope

[lusty nest]

committing FSU 30

[shut thorn]

Nice

[lusty nest]

Am i the only one going fsu 😭
it like dead in here

[fading sparrow]

you and ayush

it was like me and one other person during my cycle two years ago who eventually committed to fsu

we never get a ton

[little frost]

we shud tho

it’s an amazing school

I feel like most ppl here aren’t from florida tho

[lusty nest]

why? 😭 fsu amazing

[lusty nest]

yea true i had pick btw ucf and fsu i when with one that cheaper
Fsu was cheaper plus it has better business school

i heard the campus more lively than ucf

[fading sparrow]

its so much more walkable more than anything

[lusty nest]

❤️

[lusty nest]

i people that attend fsu are mostly UF rejects

[little frost]

acceptance rates r literally similar atp

[lusty nest]

yea ik

but I got rejected from uf

[little frost]

I got waitlisted

it’s weird uf is rlly arbitrary

[lusty nest]

yea

i mean got into gt but not uf

[little frost]

fsu prolly gonna be like 45 next year uf prolly staying at 30

[little frost]

WHAT???

brk congrats on gt man

[lusty nest]

thx

[little frost]

yea I mean I got into purdue,UMD,uwisc for cs but didn’t get uf

uf is rlly weird idk

[lusty nest]

uf is gay

[little frost]

ur gonna love fsu tho

[lusty nest]

my brother current junior

at uf

[little frost]

like bro the campus clears uf

[shut thorn]

same

[little frost]

the ppl r more friendly

[lusty nest]

ik uf is boring i heard

[little frost]

and Gainesville is ass

[little frost]

ye it’s aight

their campus is lowk mid

I went there before it was ass

[lusty nest]

it most a spot for smart people no college life

[little frost]

uf has sum dumb ppl too I can’t even lie

[lusty nest]

he honestly started to regret going bc he ucf cs is better than uf

my brother

[little frost]

yeaa

[lusty nest]

uf is being uf they gotta protect t30 ranking

[little frost]

nah fr

[lusty nest]

fsu cares about diversity not just smart people

[little frost]

have u seen the new fsu business building bro

this goes hard

[lusty nest]

yea

i saw picture too

why it only me and u in here 😭

does no one care

fsu prob most underrated t50 uni

there so cheap not just in state but also oos and they amazing campus

[little frost]

nah fr

I think it’s js the idea that in the 2010s fsu was js a party school

but the last 5 years

bro the school has grown so fast academically

in 2021 ppl considered fsu as a safety now it’s a hard target

[lusty nest]

yea i heard that there alot hazing at fsu

[little frost]

yea there’s a lot at Greek life intensive schools

including uf

[muted widget]

i still MIGHT be

im still lowk undecided between UF FSU and UTampa

leaning pretty heavy to utampa rn tho

but it could swing back to fsu

also for business

[shut thorn]

fsu so tuff

[lusty nest]

that good i heard u tampa really expensive tho

[muted widget]

yeah but they gave me a lotta money so it would be CONSIDERABLY cheaper to go there than fsu or uf

its one of the main deciding factors of me potentially going there because i wouldnt have to pay anything compared to uf or fsu where id have to take a job or find some other way

[lusty nest]

is cheaper than uf or fsu

[muted widget]

yea

[lusty nest]

oh

that good

have check campus

[muted widget]

yeah ive been to their campus 4 times

went yesterday actually

[lusty nest]

oh nice

i mean if they gave more aid go utampa

[muted widget]

definitely the most beautiful campus out of the three

the problem is that they have the worst students out of the three

im pretty sure its more of a party school than fsu

[lusty nest]

yea there hazing at utampa

[muted widget]

and they're all kinda bums

for the most part

[lusty nest]

at least gonna be in same city as

[muted widget]

(also i hear that theyre super stuck-up and conceited and if you dont make 10 gazillion dollars a year like their family business does, then they wont like you)

[muted widget]

TRUE

and

https://tenor.com/view/junkofalling-gif-16503562369384728459

[lusty nest]

i mean the problem u tampa is cost alot for housing tampa and mami pretty expensive in term housing

[muted widget]

yeahh i mean theyre essentially paying for my housing though

[lusty nest]

same with food

oh

[muted widget]

and theyre paying for my meal plan

[lusty nest]

that good

[muted widget]

so

[lusty nest]

hell yea

[muted widget]

yeah 💀

but if i move off campus then yeah ur right it would be mad expensive

to live in the city

[lusty nest]

yea go there there give so much money to u

there bascially paying for u to attend

[muted widget]

pretty much

itd cost my 4k a year to go there

and theyre paying for my tuition housing meals and healthcare

[lusty nest]

oh nice

for fsu i think aroun 9k for me mainly due to housing

[muted widget]

so its definitely a big thing to consider

[muted widget]

yeah if i went fsu it would cost like 17k a year

9k isnt too bad though

[lusty nest]

oh

[muted widget]

manageable amount

[lusty nest]

i pay nothing for tution

[muted widget]

they barely gave me financial aid idk why 😭

[lusty nest]

only housing

[muted widget]

also got into their honors and they gave no merit

so like

[lusty nest]

u dont got bright future

[muted widget]

yeah neither do i

i do have bright futures

[lusty nest]

then that pay for everything

[muted widget]

but housing + meals + the other fees is like 19k

[lusty nest]

oh i can cook i put that in account

i didnt

other fees you can get down less 19k

on fsu finicinical aid it 21k

but that bc of transporation and book fee which honestly get all for free

[muted widget]

that is true i do think they kinda overestimate the transportation, books, and personal expenses fees

it could probably be more like 14-15k for me instead of 17k

[lusty nest]

transportaion does not cost 1500 dollars

[muted widget]

that is true 💀

[lusty nest]

same with book and food

[muted widget]

well isnt food pretty expensive?

like the meal plans arent that cheap

[lusty nest]

they put 5k for food bru do they think im that fat

[muted widget]

seven thousand dead ass

[lusty nest]

yes

4-7k

[muted widget]

@fading sparrow how much u spend on food twin

[lusty nest]

i can cook zero

[muted widget]

well u need ingredients twin 💀

[fading sparrow]

uhh let’s see

[lusty nest]

i can get them from house

[fading sparrow]

i have the unlimited meal plan but it’s excessive i’d just get the weekly 14

i make breakfast in my room, lunch at dining hall, dinner at an on campus restaurant using meal swipe equivalency most days

two or three times a week i get dinner off campus so use the meal equivalency for lunch

idk what the meal plan costs but i probably spend $50 a week on groceries and dining out off campus

meal plan is somewhere in the 2k/sem range i think

for weekly 14

a chipotle chicken bowl is $9.51 after tax

[muted widget]

💀

he knows

[fading sparrow]

which is my main source of off campus comestibles

i get whatever publix sub is on sale during my weekly shop

[muted widget]

pub subs are legendary

its looking like 4-5 a semester rn tho no?

a year

whoops

[fading sparrow]

5k for the year sounds safe

[muted widget]

5k for the year okok

so i mean if i subtract transportation

[lusty nest]

i mean if dont eat out it prob much cheaper

[muted widget]

and half of personal expenses

and maybe like 1k on meals

[lusty nest]

for me prob 800 for me

[fading sparrow]

that meals number i think is the price of an unlimited meal plan

[muted widget]

my COA is like 13k

[lusty nest]

if get really stingy on money

[muted widget]

do u pay 980 for books a year u think wiggle?

[fading sparrow]

it really depends

i’ve spent as little as 250 as much as 800 per semester

[muted widget]

800 per semester yeouch

but yeah that makes sense

[lusty nest]

have u try selling them to barninnobeles

[fading sparrow]

no i keep my books

[lusty nest]

why there useless after the class

[fading sparrow]

although i am gonna have to have a chat with the bookstore…

they sold me a “new” book that was in fact not new

[muted widget]

oooo

sue them

[lusty nest]

i sold all my book already i taken enc 1001 and 2 at community college

[muted widget]

u sold them at barnes n nobles?

[lusty nest]

yea

[muted widget]

how much did they pay

[fading sparrow]

the vast majority of my books are digital

[lusty nest]

pretty much everything

[muted widget]

i have an unopened, still in the wrapped, spanish 1/2 textbook

[muted widget]

same

[fading sparrow]

the ones that are physical are for my linguistics minor which i want to keep the books for

[muted widget]

ive taked 61 credits through DE and have only had 1 physical book

[fading sparrow]

the digital ones are usually cheap af if it’s just the book

[muted widget]

which is the one im selling

[fading sparrow]

the issue is they make you buy digital software required for homework sometimes

[lusty nest]

well since the digital one were 40 dollar more i decide to get physical so i can sell it

[fading sparrow]

that’s unusual digital has always been cheaper for me

[lusty nest]

the digital 40 dollar cheaper i meant

so add pay 40 dollar more for physical copy

i was able get money back at least lik 85% bc i sold it

[muted widget]

ohh i see what youre saying

thats smart

bc u cant sell the digital version obviously

[lusty nest]

yea it license

they give for certain period before u get revoked

[little frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Pc5z4GddU

been rewatching this

[muted widget]

@fading sparrow
UTampa: 5k a year
FSU: Estimated 13k a year
UF: Estimated 17k a year

I have about 22k saved up.

I also have 60 credits through DE, and am being safe by planning for 3 years at whatever school I go to.

I will say I've pretty much crossed out UF because it doesn't match what I want very much and is way riskier financially

[fading sparrow]

and what major are you wanting to do

[muted widget]

It would be Human Resource Management at FSU (potentially double majoring in Poli Sci), or Management at UTampa or UF with maybe a minor in Poli Sci

bc I wanna do HR, thats the end goal

UTampa's business school and professors are actually quite quite good so I'd say theyre fairly comparable with fsu

[fading sparrow]

yeah it seems to me theyre relatively comparable

so i guess that means you should probably start considering x factors

i havent been to the utampa campus but it does seem quite nice

[muted widget]

is it very nice

its probably the prettiest campus of the three

and is literally in downtown tampa

[fading sparrow]

do you want to work in tampa post grad

[muted widget]

the thing is is that the utampa students are mostly very very wealthy, some conceited and clique-y, from the northwest

so the student body is kinda icky to me

nor do they seem all that educationally motivated

however the professors are quite the opposite

[fading sparrow]

that is largely the case at fsu too

[muted widget]

and seem very passionate about what they do

[fading sparrow]

like most people here arent very wealthy but

[muted widget]

really? that actually helps if true

[fading sparrow]

especially when it comes to student government and greek life i feel its a lot of upper middle class kids

and new jerseyans

[muted widget]

youre an accounting major right?

[fading sparrow]

yes

[muted widget]

do you think the business school kids are kinda toxic? i know obviously that they wouldnt all be like that but just curious

[muted widget]

i would be interested in student government but i def dont want to join greek life

[fading sparrow]

greek life runs student government soooo

[muted widget]

temporarily i think i would love that opportunity yes, but when ive gained some work experience i would love to leave the state

[muted widget]

WHAT

[fading sparrow]

wdym by toxic

[muted widget]

i didnt know this

[fading sparrow]

this is the case at any school with a relatively large greek life presence

not a unique thing

[muted widget]

oh i kinda just assumed it was like high school student gov 😭

[fading sparrow]

those high school sga girls go on to join tridelt and then sweep sga elections

[fading sparrow]

the accounting program here is not toxic i know that much

but there really isnt competition we all get our fair share

the finance kids are a bit insufferable sometimes

but i think that archetype of person exists at every school

[muted widget]

i see 💀

[muted widget]

this is what i mean

i feel like business students do have a stereotype of being kinda frat kid bums

who arent the most welcoming

[little frost]

wait are yall highly recruited by the big 4 or nah

[muted widget]

and arent really driven students

[little frost]

I’ve heard that a lotta ppl do

[fading sparrow]

for accounting yeah

[little frost]

gotcha

alr that’s tuff

[fading sparrow]

i will be working for a big 4 post grad

[muted widget]

thats good

[muted widget]

holy peak

thats awesome

[fading sparrow]

in my experience the most insufferable kids arent in fraternities

[little frost]

nice bro congrats

[muted widget]

thats another big consideration is that FSU will have more big companies hiring there than UTampa

[fading sparrow]

im looking at federal data rn and it seems that utampa mogs us to oblivion when it comes to finance

[little frost]

😭

[muted widget]

💀 deadass

[fading sparrow]

90 median salary with like 150 graduates per year

[little frost]

gahddamn

what abt us?

[muted widget]

damn maybe i gotta do finance

[fading sparrow]

fsu is 87k median with 700 graduates per year

[muted widget]

tampa is a good place for jobs i wont lie

[muted widget]

idk if thats accurate though

[little frost]

ay wait that’s still tough

[muted widget]

bc Finance is the most popular major at UTampa

[little frost]

imma grind my ass off no doubt

[muted widget]

the finance professor brings that up everytime ive seen him

so its gotta be more than 150

utampa is weird they dont release their stats on anything

they dont do CDS, they dont share graduation rates

nothin

[fading sparrow]

this is median salary like 4 years after grad not late career

[muted widget]

people are still waiting on their decisions and i got mine 4 months ago

[fading sparrow]

oh wait you meant population

[muted widget]

yes

[fading sparrow]

this is from dept of education website so id have to assume its accurate

150 graduates per year is 600 kids of the 10000 school population or 6%

6% for just one major is pretty significant

[muted widget]

hmm u might be right lol

anyways

so do you think that the majority of FSU students are kinda similar to what I said about UTampa?

bc if the student bodies are similar than that gives a bonus to UTampa

[fading sparrow]

i think utampa is fairly representative of like FSU on a small scale

similar levels of fraternity membership

FSU probably has a higher bar for admissions?

but like

thats just because utampa is test optional

[muted widget]

fsu definitely has lower acceptance rates and more prestige

im pretty sure utampa acceptance rates are like 40%

so like moderately selective

[muted widget]

but this helps a lot thank you

[fading sparrow]

you have to consider that FSU has a shit ton of AA transfers completely dodging the freshman admissions system

which is why i think over all the caliber of student is fairly equal

getting in to FSU transfer isnt terribly hard and freshmen admissions are really only competitive because of the sheer volume (90k+) of applicants

ultimately id feel safer recommending FSU to you just because of my experience with the college of business here and my relative lack of knowledge of utampa

but that seems like an excellent deal you have there

and does seem like a relatively similar school and honestly a better location

[muted widget]

okay okay that all helps thank you very very much lol

[little frost]

for you it shud be like utampa>=fsu>>>uf

(I hate uf as you can tell)

[shut thorn]

What percentage of UT is OOS

Google says 80%, that’s bat shit

[shut thorn]

I’m picking FSU all day over UT, I live in Tampa and UT is never mentioned at my school lmao

FSU is basically a flagship Florida university that’s prestigious, crazy school spirit, one of the best ‘college experiences’

5k versus 13k for 4 years is a lot of money though

Your parents are not willing to cover or help with food and dorm expenses which I assume is the majority of that $13k since you have BF?

[little frost]

hell yeah

go mf NOLES

but if texasranger likes utampa more its his choice

utampa lowk sneakily gus

gud

[fading sparrow]

he has an AA

wait @muted widget this is semi important how much of the business prereqs do you have done

[shut thorn]

$16k ain’t shit then

W

Easily recouped with a job

[little frost]

js come to fsu icel

[muted widget]

nah thats pretty accurate

when i went to the admitted student day they asked how many people were from the southeast of the US and there were like 8 people out of the 50

and thats not even just florida thats the whole SE

[muted widget]

i do agree with that, but i feel like i might get more long term employment value by being in a far better city for jobs + internships, and having the opportunity to make really close connections to professors

i feel like that may outweigh the name of FSU and the other opportunities it brings

[muted widget]

my family has about 22k saved up

and im estimating id be at FSU for 3 years if i went

and yes i have full BF, and the rest is housing and food costs yea

and 2k of aid

[muted widget]

uhh

not too many bc my CC didnt let me take a lot of them for some reason

literally just wouldnt let me register for them

but ive done statistics (which idk if thatll count for business statistics) and computer information systems

oh and macroeconomics

i also got into Honors at FSU and idk how much thats worthy of consideration

[fading sparrow]

its worth something

you get priority registration mostly

[fading sparrow]

ok so youll need to do two semesters of business pre-reqs

financial accounting in fall semester and managerial accounting in spring semester

financial is pre-req for managerial but i think all the other business pre-reqs dont have limitations

[little frost]

wait do you think its a good idea to do finance+accounting or just one of them

[muted widget]

i was thinking i would do financial accounting CLEP so i wouldnt have to be held back by that

[muted widget]

is it worth anything besides that and landis though

like will it help me with internships or get me more rep and attention by professors/staff

[fading sparrow]

you would still have to pass the accounting competency exam (i.e. the class’ final) with a 70% or higher

[muted widget]

cause thats really what would matter more

[muted widget]

even if i clepped?

so would i just take that exam when i got to school

[fading sparrow]

internships maybe, at the very least it differentiates you and yes you have special advisors and some honors only classes available

[fading sparrow]

yeah

tbh i’d just take it

you want to double major or minor so

use the first year to get some of that done alongside the remaining business prereqs

[muted widget]

yeah thats a good point

[muted widget]

okay okay thats good

[fading sparrow]

also there are some upper division business classes you can take without having the pre reqs complete

[muted widget]

oh thats good so i could take those whilst im doing the prereqs

yo this decision is so hard bc it literally feels like its like a life path converging choice lol 😭

[fading sparrow]

what city/metro area do you currently live in

like where will you spend summers

[muted widget]

bradenton, so tampa is like an hour north

home at bradenton

[fading sparrow]

is bradenton commute-able to tampa or st pete for summer internships

[muted widget]

yes, particularly st pete

tampa would be somewhat annoying

but doable

st pete is like 35 minutes away

[fading sparrow]

i’m gonna have to drive like 45 minutes to downtown orlando next year

[muted widget]

internship?

kinda awesome

[fading sparrow]

yeah

[muted widget]

sounds exciting

[fading sparrow]

thankfully it’s hybrid so i’ll only do that 2 or 3 times a week

[little frost]

^ sorry I js wanna know

[muted widget]

yeah i would hope if i had a tampa internship it would be like that

[fading sparrow]

ok so like doing both is incredibly easy it’s literally 4 or 5 classes more

[little frost]

gotcha

[muted widget]

the thing is with utampa tho since its literally smack dab in the downtown i could do internships fairly easily during the school year

which idk is that common or not really at fsu?

[fading sparrow]

i would recommend declaring accounting as your primary major to do it though, since some accounting classes waive some finance reqs but not the other way around

[muted widget]

legendary combo

[little frost]

alright bet

[fading sparrow]

outside of politics and remote work stuff, no

[little frost]

I’ve heard of some kids placing in high finance from fsu

• coming from a guy who goes there rn

[fading sparrow]

people take a semester off or do online classes though

[muted widget]

so do people go like live somewhere else then? in a different city

or commute ig

[fading sparrow]

yeah

like my internship is from january to april

[muted widget]

and you just gotta like pay for yourself for housing i assume? the company doesnt pay for that

?

[muted widget]

so are u gonna do online?

[fading sparrow]

some companies offer relocation assistance and some don’t

[fading sparrow]

i’ve decided to just speedrun graduation and grad this december

[muted widget]

oh damn thats tuff congratulations

[fading sparrow]

taking 18 credits this semester

[muted widget]

yeoww

[fading sparrow]

but otherwise i would’ve gotten like 9 credit hours as internship credit and taken one class to be full time

[little frost]

wait you said you landed a big 4 right?

[fading sparrow]

yea

[little frost]

congrats man

idk how much they pay tho icel

it varies obviosuly

[fading sparrow]

my internship pay is 40/hr and 3500 sign on bonus plus any overtime

[little frost]

GODDAMN

aint hthat like

idk

[fading sparrow]

hourly to salary that’s like 80-85k a year

which is what they pay first years i think

[muted widget]

o em gee

o em gee

[little frost]

wowza

[fading sparrow]

internship pay matches first year salary usually

[little frost]

thats BANK holy crap

[muted widget]

get me outta human resources 🙏

[little frost]

nah fr bro

got me excited for accounting

😭

[little frost]

damn ur up g

thats a goated salary for entry icel

[muted widget]

ill do some number crunching and some taxes for the big eight five

so i mean

it sounds like utampa would be better for internships

but fsu would fit me more people wise because itll be easier for me to find the right crowd

bc its got way more ppl

but utampa might set me up more career wise

just gonna flip a coin

[little frost]

ngl bro

[muted widget]

got utampa on the flip i wont lie

[little frost]

u rlly cant go wrong w either i feel like

[fading sparrow]

does utampa take your dual enrollment credits

[muted widget]

yeah which MAKES IT FEEL HARDER AND NOT EASIER THO 😭

[muted widget]

yes

my CC is part of a college organization that UTampa takes all credits from

[fading sparrow]

but do they like waive all gen ed requirements

[muted widget]

uh i think theres like one class or two that like all freshman have to take

to like adapt into the community

but i want to do those

[muted widget]

but i mean i have all my gen eds done from my cc

so like it should i think bc theyll all transfer over

[fading sparrow]

private schools are funky sometimes they might throw in a capstone requirement or something

[muted widget]

yeah but that would be like one extra class right?

im okay with having to take an extra semester to finish up any gen eds and do some business pre reqs

[shut thorn]

Holy buckets

[fading sparrow]

@muted widget im taking a look through the federal data and yeah i think id lean towards picking FSU if i were in your situation

apples to apples comparing management outcomes FSU salary prospects are like 10k higher per year

[muted widget]

committed to UTampa ✌️ hardest choice of all time but i think i picked what will probably be best for me long term

thank you all for ur help especially you wiggle

w man

[shut thorn]

congrats man

[fading sparrow]

yippie!

[lusty nest]

great decision since they gave the most money

[shut thorn]

https://housing.fsu.edu/explore-housing/residence-halls#home

[fading sparrow]

they changed the dining website i hate it

[shut thorn]

rip

[forest canyon]

[little frost]
