What has been the best experience you have had at the College of Law thus far?
From meeting lifelong friends and future colleagues on my first day, to the wholesome support of upperclassmen, and to the thrill of answering my first cold call question, my experience as a whole has been the best part.

Why did I choose the College of Law?
First and foremost, I have always been a loyal Seminole fan and it has always been a dream to represent the University in some capacity.  Secondly, and just as important, the tours I received from the student ambassadors really pinpointed how prestigious and unifying the College of Law can be.

What do you feel is unique about Tallahassee?
I think the most unique thing about Tallahassee is the natural beauty of the environment and architecture surrounding the campus and city. After attending Florida State University for undergrad, and experiencing what this city has to offer, including the opportunities that arise from being able to study and work in the capital, I couldn’t think of a better law school to attend than Florida State.

Why did you choose the College of Law?
I chose Florida State Law because of the inviting and collaborative culture I experienced when interacting with professors and students during my visit. On my tour it was clear that everyone at the law school wanted me to succeed and would do anything to make that happen. I believe Florida State Law makes my success a higher priority than any other law school would have.

What do you feel is unique about Tallahassee?
Tallahassee is a unique place that offers a little something for everyone. It is a good mixture of residential and urban and the city retains its southern charm while always hosting a variety of activities. There is the added bonus of being in the Florida capital, which means there are a myriad of job and networking opportunities for the law students.

Why did you choose the College of Law?
I had a difficult time choosing a law school. I applied and was accepted at many, but something about Florida State Law just stood out. At Florida State Law, every student is treated with kindness and compassion by the admissions staff, professors, and the other students. I chose Florida State Law because I felt like I fit in here and because it immediately felt like home.

Why did you choose the College of Law?
I chose Florida State Law because even before I applied, every interaction felt genuine! Students seemed to enjoy their experience, spoke highly of their classes and professors, and had a strong sense of camaraderie. I know that law school is stressful by nature, but I wanted to be in an environment that would help alleviate at least some of it!

Samantha Folkes

Why did you choose the College of Law?
I chose Florida State Law because of how accommodating they were in my transition to law school. Students were helpful in giving honest feedback on what to expect during my first year. Also, visiting the campus on Admitted Students Preview Day, observing a first-year class, and observing a trial team in action further assured me that law was the career path I wanted to pursue, and that Florida State Law was the place to do it.
