Yep, surprisingly, research is done here. We don't just have a football team.



Don't forget the circus: http://circus.fsu.edu


Wow, a place where you can run away and join the circus and fulfill your parents expectations of being a doctor.


It's a pretty damned good circus, too, for something put on by volunteer students.


Most people don't realize how big our research programs are.

http://www.fsu.edu/highlights/rankings.html has some interesting tidbits on our rankings.


Ah, but even then didn't you have a football player accepted as a Rhodes Scholar a few years back?

... Yes, I recall correctly. Myron Rolle. Played two years in the NFL then returned to FSU medical school.


I am surprised! When I was applying for college as an IT major some 11 years ago this was one of the school I applied to. As an international student however the wanted me to jump through too many hoops so I did not pursue my degree there.


Maybe I missed the sarcasm, but FSU's football team has been ranked well several times recently.

Of course, I'm from UF....so maybe I should be agreeing with you ;)
