Business Outlook
Pros
The physics department at FSU is very supportive and wants all of their students to do well. It is not an academically competitive culture with students vying to be top of the class, instead collaboration is encouraged and almost necessary to succeed in classes. There is a wide variety of research opportunities for physics students with a linear accelerator on campus, the National High Magnetic Field Lab a few miles away, a high energy group with strong ties to CERN, and a lot more.
Cons
The controversial new hiring of FSUs president puts the schools future ranking trajectory in question. While the Stipend is sufficient for the cost of living in Tallahassee, tuition fees take a substantial chunk.
