Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went there to check out the campus for our son who is considering attending in 2021. It was a very hot, humid day but the campus is attractive. We weren't all that impressed with Tallahassee in general though, and pretty much we couldn't do much because of COVID. Bummer! But we were glad to at least drive and walk around to get a feel for the campus. As far as a large campus goes, this is pretty good.

We took a walking tour of FSU. What a beautiful campus! Loved the historic brick buildings, abundance of moss covered oaks, shaded walkways, and the sprawling open space of Landis Green. And a circus on campus? That was a surprise! Parking was easy for our summer tour, but I imagine it's normally a challenge.

We traveled to Tallahassee to see a football game. The campus was very nice and the size of the stadium was impressive. However, the surrounding area was extremely disappointing. Once we left the campus we were hassled at almost every red light for money. One guy said "you have a dollar for beer?" I said no. Then he said "what about porn?" Once he realized we were not college students he said "you don't go to FSU? Never mind" and walked away. Apparently students think his statements are funny then give him money. People were also hanging out in front of nearby convience stores, gas stations and even ATMs begging for money. It really detracted from the experience of visiting FSU. My husband wants our daughters to go there and I told him no way if the area remains like it is today. Honestly think it will just go downhill. What a shame since it is a good school.

Quick day in Tallahassee and my hotel was right by campus so I took the opportunity to walk through the University. Just lovely. We loved the moss-covered oaks. With COVID, some things were closed.

FSU has a beautiful campus, particularly the center with the fountain. I could not find a free place to park even on a weekend.

Incredible university in every aspect. The campus is gorgeous. The university is student centered, friendly, warm and has something to offer for all types of students. Highly recommend.

Florida State University is a beautiful campus, not a huge fan of the surrounding area a bit unkept for the State Capital. I wish this University was closer to South Florida

Pretty compact campus considering the number of students that attend. Lots of trees and beautiful buildings. Great athletic facilities and the roads are very easy once you get the lay of the land.

We would be coming on 10/17/15. What will be open? Can we see a football game?

If you want a structured tour I suggest that you contact the admissions office. They can also guide you on the other activities as well.
Good luck and have a great time.

Around the stadium you will find all tailgating. The best thing I would do is contact the visting school and see where they will be setting up. Many times opponent schools will rent buses to attend the away games. Find out where they will be setting up to tailgate. Go NOLES !!!!!!!!
