Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Mechanical Engineering  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright The Engineering school at FSU is shared with FAMU, and it is a bad joke. There are very good professors and classes, but very sorry professors and classes too. I wasted a total of 1yr+ of just BS classes that were good for nothing, and the good ones weren't offered in the semesters that I needed them. Many classmates went through the same situation, and we discussed this regularly. Expect pure theory and absolutely zero mechanical engineering application. The machine shop is Taboo, and students are not encouraged to use it. This negative Comment applies to the College of Engineering in general, but the bad experience was with the Mech. engineering department. After graduating as a mechanical engineering I felt extremely unprepared for any real design jobs, and companies with nice jobs don't even bother to go there to recruit people in the career fairs. Only the companies with sucky jobs, and horrible retention are the ones that recruit there. My next chance comes when I go to grad school. Please learn from other's mistakes: RULE OF THUMB: GO TO A GOOD SCHOOL! Good side of the story: FSU is very good for things other than engineering.

Stay tuned to the local paper for info. There is a great park system and plenty of outdoor activities nearby. I would love to end up back there one day!

It was when I got here. IT IS a party school but don't let that overwhelm you because when your actually here, It's exactly what the college experienece should be. Tallahassee sucks during the day, which is good because then you can get your homework and everything done, lay out at the local pools, and when nighttime comes around, its veryy fun. Make sure to get everything done , then party. I almost didn't come to fsu, now i am sooo glad i did. There is a huge variety of ppl here and youll find the ppl just like u, so no matter what your gonna be happy here. I <33333 it. Social Life: A+, Surrounding City: B- Have a Question?

When I went to college I was not prepared because my high school sucked, but I was an honor student. I didn't know how to write a good paper to save my life until after English Comp II. As far as preparing for your major goes, I took accounting classes before I left high school so I was a little bit prepared. I ended up severly depressed in college because I wasn't prepared emotionally and educationally. Please make sure you visit the school of your choice a few times before you attend. I loved FSU and I would go back if I could to do my Master's. I made friends there and I didn't party at all the whole time I was there. The curriculum in business is tough so you have to stay focused or you will not pass the classes. Also, get used to working in groups before you leave high school. I was not used to working in groups even though we did have those moments in high school where it was required. Groups help in understanding the material and studying for test. I do highly recommmend FSU if you have a good head on your shoulders already and not prone to peer pressure. If you are gullible, you may not survive.
