Florida State University reviews

The sad state and mismanagement of postdocs in the United States is well documented in many places. Please read about it carefully before committing to it. If you still feel this is the best way forward, then FSU is one of the better places to work. That said, there is no uniformity in the paychecks of postdoc - even within the same department. Faculty are strongly opposed to the idea of higher pay to postdocs due to their own issues with raising grant money. It was a monumental effort to get them to pay for postdoc insurance. Life for international postdocs is vastly more difficult since FSU will not offer support to file for residency. Given that only 10% of postdocs get faculty positions, the remaining 90% will need to search for positions elsewhere and that search becomes astronomically more difficult for international scholars.

The size of the library is REALLY small, there is barely any space for the books and tables and there is NO space for new books. It is frustrating because the FSU Panama-Canal administration limits the Head Librarian TOO much and doesn't provide the quality that one is paying or tuition.
