I chose to go to Florida State University because my dad is an alumni here, so we would always visit campus throughout my childhood. Over time it made FSU feel so familiar and special and I knew this was the place I wanted to go!
Get involved early and don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. College is the perfect time to try new things and meet new people, so take advantage of every opportunity, whether it’s joining clubs, attending events, or meeting new people!
The most impactful part of my time at FSU has been getting involved in as much as possible, from student organizations to campus events, which helped me build connections and grow both personally and academically. Specifically being a part of the Medical Response (MRU) gave me a strong sense of community and support that made such a big campus feel smaller.
I have a twin sister who also goes to FSU!

My favorite class at FSU has been Communications in Healthcare (NUR 3076) with Sally Karioth. The class was small and highly interactive, which made it easy to build connections and really engage with the material. Dr. Karioth’s teaching style and passion made every lesson meaningful and memorable. It was an experience that truly stood out and deepened my interest in healthcare.
What I like most about Tallahassee is that it has a smaller, more relaxed feel while still being centered around FSU. The size makes it easy to get around and feel comfortable, but there’s still plenty to do because of the campus and student life.
