Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot My professors have been great! I originally came to FSU as a film student and honestly wasn't happy in that concentration, but I knew I still wanted to work in the entertainment industry. I switched my major concentration to Professional Communications and have been so happy since. My advisor is brilliant and makes sure I get what I want out of my degree and experience on campus and always asks me how I am doing outside of school and academics.
Am enjoying being here Everyone on campus is so friendly. There is always someone to hold the door open for you if you need it and plenty of friendly faces to go up to and say hello if you are in need of a dinner date or a new study buddy. I am a tour guide, orientation leader and a member of the Fitchburg Activities Board (FAB) on campus and I even work in the Volunteer Center in the campus center. Getting involved and helping out around campus is a great way to make new friends, share memories and have fun!

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I am definitely learning a lot. I am just heading into my sophomore year not, and really looking forward to it. Even in my freshman year I learned so much in mostly general education courses alone. For instance, I took a China course recently where I learned so much about something I had previously had little education of. The professors are great and you can feel the passion that they have for their subjects.
Am enjoying being here Yes! It is extremely easy to meet new friends. While living on campus definitely helps for this, you can also meet new people when you are a commuter as well. Everyone is very welcoming and accepting. As for extra-curricular activieties, there are a ton. I am personally involved in sports. The coaches are great and very informative. After my freshman year, I am having a great experience. I am very much looking forward to my sophomore year!
Bang for the buck Definitely! Fitchburg is one of the cheapest QUALITY schools around. All college is expensive, but for the price you pay at Fitchburg, the education is extraordinary.
Tips for prospective students Get involved! This is the best way to meet people! My freshman year I did cross country, indoor track and field, softball, intramural basketball, worked with the Athletic Trainers, and trained to be an RA. I loved every minute of it and met so many great people! Another tip I would have is to always go to class. No matter how tired or lazy you feel, remember that every class you skip is costing you money. One professor told us that missing one class is basically equivalent to throwing $100 down the drain. Don't do this! Also, you need to work hard. Don't put your social life before your studies.
Great for these types of students I feel Fitchburg is great for all types of students. However, our most common majors include Nursing, Education, and Business, Criminal Justice and Film. I am personally involved in the Exercise Science program and I absolutely love it.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Fitchburg State University is a fantastic school. However, more teachers should be able to speak, read, and write English better. But in general, I am very happy here.
Tips for prospective students Make friends fast and during orientation. People are very cliquey so making friends in the beginning is important.
Academic Rigor This school isn't that hard, however just make sure you do what they ask when they ask of it and you should do fine.
Dorm Life The dorms are small and some people are difficult to live with, so choose wisely (or if being put in a random room with a random roommate, be careful to get along well).
Food and Dining The food is not that bad, some days are better than others.
What to do for fun Absolutely nothing. Hang out with friends in the dorms.
Bang for the buck Its a great value for the money.
