Great experience. So many of the professors go above and beyond to make sure that you not only learn everything that you need to know but that you apply it to the best of your ability. Even with being a DII university, the class sizes allow for the needed support.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Campus visits are great as it allows for you to see the different buildings and what all the campus has to offer. This keeps you from feeling overwhelmed when first going to the university. Also, take the opportunity to get out and experience all that FHSU has to offer: attended the different presentations, performances, athletics, etc. Take full advantage of the fun and exciting things FHSU has to offer.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Good. If you put forth all of your effort and go to the professors for support and show that you really want to achieve at the highest level, you can get there, and you will. If you don't give your all, don't expect the professors to hold your hand and spoon feed you. It is a big step from secondary academics and you will be expected to go out of your comfort zone at times, but it will all be for your good and to benefit you to the best ability. If you want it, you'll do all you can and need to and your professors will back you up!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I am in my second semester of graduate school, but I lived in the dorms my freshman year. I met so amazing people and still have relationship with very many of them. It allows for a lasting friendship with people you can carry with you forever. I will also say that dorm life was always exciting in many aspects; I loved my floor, McMindes Hall 2West, because we always did everything together, whether it was going out or going to football games or going to the talent shows together. Even though we have all gone our separate ways and have gotten engaged, married, having children or are expecting, we always remember the great times we had together when we do happen to see each other.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Great access to good food and dining whether at the dorms or the Union as they continue to upgrade and improve overall access. Great restaurant choices and often times professors invite the students in their major over for meals. I absolutely LOVE the English department, which was one of my degree majors as an undergrad. They always had some get together where we went to someones place to eat or talk, but to always have fun.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
While at FHSU I went out with my friends, went and watched sports games, played tennis and basketball, worked out at the Wellness Center, went running. I tried to give myself a break from school work and take advantage of the fun that surrounded me. Now, as a grad student, I've outgrown the high life of FHSU and look forward to what I'll gain and experience when I move to Austin Texas in May, but I will always carry all of the fun I had at FHSU with me for the rest of my life.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The slogan used to be affordable success. It is affordable and they make available many scholarships to help with the extra expenses in college, which is really great. It gets pretty competitive at times, but they do what they can to ensure you are taken care of and get the most out of your academic experience. Plus, with many job opportunities on and off campus, you can earn extra on the side to help out as well.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Any student who is looking for that classroom environment where they are more a student than a number, a place that is close to home, but yet far enough for a sense of independence, or for anyone who just wants a great educational experience and opportunity, FHSU is the place for you. Give it a chance.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Many athletics are offered and for those who don't do sports for the university can do intramurals. Plus several clubs are offered that allow you to be involved on the campus and out in the community. There are no limitations to what you can do and accomplish.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I don't know a whole lot about the fraternities and sororities, but I do know that they do alot on campus and in the community as well. If you are looking for a lasting friendship in this way, greek life on FHSU is a great way to experience this.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Like with any other university or college, there are unexpected circumstances and situations which come up. The university works with the campus police and the city police to ensure that all precautions are taken to ensure the overall safety of the FHSU community and every member. If a situation comes up, they make sure to inform everyone so that their safety and well being.
