How to Tour Florida State University

Florida State University is one of the top universities in the entire country. It is also one of the biggest and for those prospective students that have never been there, a tour is a great way to see if it is the best place for 4-plus years of schooling and life. This article explains how to tour the campus.

Instructions

1. Visit the FSU Visitor's Center at Doak S. Campbell Stadium. It is located on the eastern side of the stadium next to the Unconquered Statue.

2. Take a van tour. A 45-minute in an FSU van is a great way to see the campus from the roads. The van takes much of the same routes that the university bus system uses. It will show classrooms, dorms and administrative buildings.

3. Walk the campus. The best way to see the campus is to get out and walk. Start at the Westcott Building on the far eastern side of the campus and head due west. You can't get lost as there are maps in various areas and students will be glad to point the right way. Make sure to see Landis Green, the Student Union and the University Bookstore, all in the very middle of campus.

4. If you are nervous to get out and walk the campus because of the fear of getting lost, get on either the Garnet or Gold buses that drive around the campus. These buses move in opposite directions of each other but go to the same places. Remember where you got on the bus, because no matter what, it will come back to that exact same spot, allowing the prospective student to never get lost.
