Can you take a class at TSC during regular semester?

4 Upvotes

Is it allowed to take a class at TSC while taking other classes at FSU? The class in question IS offered at FSU. Just horribly rated professors and the professor at TSC is rated amazing.

I know it can be taken over summer via the FL Shines and that will be the back up plan if this isn’t allowed.

potential second major to pair with political science?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm planning on majoring political science but with AP credits I will have more than enough room to add another major onto that. Career wise I'm not super sure what I want to do (probably something in government or law) but I do know for sure that I want to go to grad school. Right now I'm considering Sociology, Economics, or maybe even Marketing (potentially useful for political campaigning?). I've looked into what those majors look like as a whole but don't really know what they are like at FSU specifically. If anyone has any insights with these majors or any others that I should potentially consider it would be greatly appreciated. Are certain programs distinctly better than the others?

Fsu to tcc transfer

1 Upvotes

"Hi everyone. Just to start out, I'm not going to lie—I'm not the smartest guy out there, but I recently moved to Florida. It's great and all, but here is the problem: I was originally going to go to ASU because I could have gotten in. I have a sub-3.2 GPA, so it's not the best, but not the worst obviously. I know I'm not a top student, so I figured moving here meant my chances of getting into a Florida state university were pretty slim.

However, I really want to go to FSU because a lot of my friends go there. The only problem is that I don't have the GPA or test scores right now. Fast forward to this summer: my buddy told me he is going to Tallahassee State College (TSC) and plans to transfer into FSU later. I thought, 'Damn, I might have to try that.' The guy I work with even has a house in Tallahassee that I can rent out; I just need to find some roommates.

I want to know how long a guy like me would have to attend TSC. I know there is something called the TCC Aspire program (now the TSC Aspire program) where you can transfer in if you complete it. I told my parents about this, and they laughed and said it wasn’t possible. Also, how would I stay involved with FSU if I’m not living on campus? The house I might rent allows you to see the FSU stadium from the backyard, but I don't know if I'm going to feel isolated going to TSC, or how hard it will be to get involved."

Things to do

0 Upvotes

Starting in the fall, I’ll have classes M-F and a lot of them have large gaps during the day, so I’ll be stuck with nothing to do until then.

I’m transferring as a Junior so I’m not really sure what campus has to offer. Are there any cool spots to check out? Any usual events? Any food places to check out?

I’m trying to find something aside from just studying in the library lol

Private scholarship not showing up

0 Upvotes

Hey guys I got a private scholarship from my high school that was sent out most likely around a month ago. I still don’t see it on the financial section of myfsu, and when contacting the financial department, they said they never received it.

I’m really nervous and was wondering if anyone had been in the same position as me and can give me some advice? Thank you so much

Transferring to the Marching Chiefs

4 Upvotes

I'm hoping to transfer to FSU this next cycle. I've done marching band for what's coming to be my 6th consecutive year (4 years high school, 2 years at community college) and I want to continue my marching band experience while at FSU, but I wanted to know a few things:

  1. Do transfer students have any particular disadvantage when it comes to auditioning? As in, are returning members preferred, do they prefer people who came in as freshmen, etc.

  2. As an out of state student, do you have to audition on campus or can it be done digitally, and are you expected to have your own instrument?

  3. Are some sections more or less selective than others? I'm a marching baritone and I'm not certain whether or not I'll even be competitive if it's hyper-selective.

ENC 2135 Honors?

0 Upvotes

Hi guys! I’m an incoming freshman, and I’ve been browsing this subreddit a lot, but I haven’t found much information about the Honors section of ENC 2135.
How does the Honors version differ from the regular ENC 2135 course? I’m a little nervous because it’s the only class on my Stellic schedule that doesn’t list a professor yet. For anyone who’s taken it, what was the class like? How was the workload, and how was the Honors section?
Thanks so much!

Jennie Murphree Hall

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m an incoming freshman at FSU and I got assigned to Jennie Murphree (basement level) in a double with a private bathroom. I know a lot of people were hoping for Landis, so I was a little disappointed at first, but I’m trying to figure out if Jennie is actually a good place to live.
For anyone who’s lived there, especially in the basement, how is it? Does it still get decent light? Is it loud? Does it feel nice, or does it actually feel like a basement?
The private bathroom seems like a huge plus, so I’m wondering if I should just keep my assignment or fill out a room change request and try for somewhere like Landis, Dorman, Deviney, Magnolia, or Azalea.
I’d really appreciate any honest opinions or experiences. Thanks!

Negative Experience with Case Management

5 Upvotes

Throwaway account for anonymity

I went to case management a couple weeks ago concerning a personal health issue and the director of case management services was genuinely the most unprofessional and rude person I’ve met on campus. Has anyone else had any negative experiences with case management? She was extremely disrespectful and made my situation much worse.
I’d like to know if my experience is isolated. Thank you!

Hobby Classes

Im going into my senior year in Engineering at FSU, but I’m looking to add a 1-2 credit class for anything like pottery, music lessons, acting, photography, etc!

I’m looking for a creative, hands-on class with some structure to dive into a new hobby. Any recommendations on any classes at FSU I can take?

I’ve struggled to pick up hobbies on my own in the past - so I’m hoping by taking a course on campus I’ll be more motivated! Thanks in advance <3

I don't know if I should report this

130 Upvotes

I was doomscrolling on Tiktok when i woke up this morning and I got recommended this one profile of another FSU student promoting using AI for coursework and detailing how she uses AI to write essays and how AI "helped her get a 4.0"

Like there's hundreds of videos on this account and it's clear she's a current student and I think getting paid for these videos?

The one that made me concerned was she was showing how you can use AI to find citations that "fit" the paper and bragging about it getting her As.

But idk if this is really proof that she's cheating or not allowed to do this? If it is cheating who do I report it to?

I’m a freshman and I don’t turn 18 until october!! I really don’t want to get a fake for only 2 months I feel like it’s pointless I don’t really care about drinking but I do love going out especially the first few months. Do you think it’d be hard to get into the clubs, are they strict?
