Pros

Large University with many academic/administrative departments and organizations; work-study opportunities available for qualifying students; University scholarships automatically awarded to students with high-academic achievements; abundant scholarships/student project funding available to students upon application. Whether living on or off campus, embraced in "college" atmosphere and experience. Work/study/life balance manageable; tuition extremely affordable (Florida Bright Futures program qualifies almost all residents 50-100% tuition discount). Large, but contained campus with stunning brick landscape. Vast selection of coursework and extra-curricular opportunities available for every student. Infectious school spirit!

Cons

Large university can be overwhelming; easy to get lost in large student body. More specifically, only basic academic advising/related services provided for general student body (lack individual attention available at smaller institution). The advising departments for individual majors (especially larger majors--e.g. Biology, English) exhibit very low level of inter-departmental communication; student must be own resource/department liaison. Many amazing professors willing to mentor individual students; however, generally must excel academically or otherwise to form relationship with professor (and FSU student body is a very large crowd to stand out from).

Pay can be low for the amount of work involved, tasks can sometimes be repetitive, and workload may vary significantly depending on the research project and professor.
