Sarah Huber Student at This School - Grad Year 2016
This school has more school spirit than any other school there is. When you walk through the campus on any given day there are tons of students sitting outside on Landis Green taking in the sun and studying. The students here love it and couldn't ask for anything more.
Alicia Levantini Student at This School - Grad Year 2016
I'm a current student at Florida State University. As a freshman, I am loving my time as a Seminole. The school spirit here is incredible. Everybody here has a deep desire to be here, and enjoys every minute of it. I suggest you apply early and make sure that your SAT and ACT scores are great.
