<p>What's the relationship like between the two schools? Other than them both being in the same city...</p>
<p>Sent from my Desire HD using CC</p>
<p>Aside from them sharing the College of Engineering, there really isn’t one.</p>
<p>Some downtown block parties are held for both FSU and FAMU, and students at both schools (along with TCC) get free rides on the Tallahassee Star Metro bus service, but that’s really about it. </p>
<p>The two schools sort of exist together, without much interaction, from my experience.</p>
<p>The only time I ever was near FAMU as an FSU student was when I was lost.</p>
<p>There is barely any interaction between the schools. You forget that the school even exists in the same town. It’s like two different worlds, to be honest I’ve driven a few times around FAMU and it’s a different vibe but the students there are just as friendly and have a lot of school spirit just like FSU students.
I personally think they are more tight knit and seem to have more fun. Their homecoming this year seemed pretty cool, they did a lot more stuff and really are a close school. It was so exaggerated by FSU students as they were all like “stay inside”. I live near FAMU and there was no problem at all other than the fact that they were clearly having more fun at their homecoming than FSU students did. I forget it was even homecoming week at FSU when it was on because it was so tame and boring.</p>
<p>Absolutely no correlation between both schools, The only similarity is that they’re in the same city, We are as different as black and white, Whoops I made a funny</p>
<p>^ This guy never ceases to amaze me.</p>
<p>For many black FSU students the presence of 94% black FAMU down the road is a social positive. I have heard over the years black FSU students readily visit FAMU social gatherings. Ditto black TCC students. I suspect the reverse is also likely true.</p>
<p>In general, if this is of any value, (as it is an anecdotal report from a faculty member who attended both school’s games) when FAMU winning football scores are announced at FSU games the FSU fans cheer. When FSU winning football scores are announced at FAMU games the FAMU fans boo.</p>
<p>I think they boo b/c well obviously they don’t like FSU. Part of me can’t blame them b/c of the way a lot of FSU students act towards FAMU students. Every time I hear people at FSU talk about FAMU it’s with a bit of an attitude of thinking we (fsu students) are in some way better than FAMU students. Which is absurd, but it’s what I’ve witnessed.</p>
<p>“For many black FSU students the presence of 94% black FAMU down the road is a social positive”</p>
<p>You are kidding-----, I hope……
Why in the world would anyone prefer to attend FAMU vs. FSU, especially a white kid ???
Can someone PLEASE explain this to me.</p>
<p>Nope. Not kidding. The American black community frequently is a tight-knit social group where the sense of common community transcends school allegiance. American blacks can share something of a common understanding of heritage and frequently feel a need to stick together. This can be different overseas with different groups, however. But in the U.S. this is not uncommon.</p>
<p>This, of course, is what outsiders see. Inside there are many sub-groups and the complexities of relations between these groups are like any other population.</p>
<p>This has nothing to do with FSU students wanting to attend FAMU. It’s simply a handy community where one can make friends.</p>
<p>I believe FAMU has an architecture program where as FSU doesn’t… so for a white kid who wants to major in Architecture and for some reason wants to live in Tallahassee, FAMU would be it. I’m not 100% certain, and don’t have the time to double check, but my friend who is an Architecture student told me that.</p>
