<p>Thank you, in advance. My son will be visiting the university in a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>I have a dilemma and was wondering if you could help. I scheduled a fig that has a biology lab that ends at 6:20 on monday. This is in the biology building. then i had to take an honors colloquim class at 6:30 in HCB. I was wondering whether 10 minutes is enough to get from the first class to the other.</p>
<p>Oooh honestly, i think 10 minutes is enough if you brisk walk. I mean its pretty much walking from the EAST side of campus to the CENTER of the campus. And biology labs most often are let out earlier than their end timings. The time you can leave depends on how fast you finish your lab and if you need data from the whole class, in which case you would need to wait for the whole class to finish.</p>
<p>Hope that helps,
sats</p>

<p>No problem, its my pleasure. I know what i felt like before coming here so this is just to ease some of the tension :)</p>

<li>What is your major?</li>
</ol>
<p>My major is currently Biological Sciences.</p>
<hr>
<ol>
<li>Do you know much about the Liberal Arts studies at FSU? I am referring to the English, History, Humanities and Philosophy studies.</li>
</ol>
<p>Yes but i think this link will give you more information than i can:
[FSU</a> General Bulletin](<a href=“http://registrar.fsu.edu/bulletin/undergrad/info/undergrad_degree.htm]FSU”>http://registrar.fsu.edu/bulletin/undergrad/info/undergrad_degree.htm)</p>
<p>Just scroll down to the Liberal Studies Requirements or the Liberal Studies Program and there is loads of information :)</p>
<hr>
<ol>
<li>As a freshman, did you ever feel like just a number? Were you able to get TA’s/Profs to help you with any difficulties? Do students form study groups easily?</li>
</ol>
<p>Well that all depends on the student(s). If the student initiates the talks between the TA’s and Professors, then there will be no barrier between them. If the student feels lazy and doesn’t feel the need to get others help, then it will be difficult to take care of any difficulties 
</p>
<p>Students do form groups very easily because they initiate them through the class communication section where you can send out an email to all your classmates. I would say most often the girls are the ones getting together to study and such.</p>
<hr>
<ol>
<li>Are all of your courses taught by TA’s? If so, were they good teachers?</li>
</ol>
<p>Most often, the labs and the Recitation classes (supplement courses for Chem, etc;) are taught by TA’s. The most frequent complaint i have heard from my friends about their TA’s is that they are really bad at grading which is quite often true for new TA’s. However as the semester progresses, the grading will get better as will their teaching skills. I found that my TA’s were more helpful in taking care of small problems i had than the professors themselves.</p>
<hr>
<ol>
<li>We all know that sports reigns supreme. Were there other avenues of entertainment available to you? Music, theater, Outdoor activities (kayaking, hiking, etc)?</li>
</ol>
<p>There is always something going on at FSU. Music is always playing in the courtyard, there are movies playing everyday/weekend at the theater we have on campus. If your son is interested in outdoor activities, then i would suggest he find some clubs to join which will allow him to engage in those type of activities.</p>

<p>Hey i have a question… Do you know how to get blackboard’s incoming and outgoing email server info (like POP or whatever) so that I can set up my ipod touch to download FSU’s webmail?</p>
<p>Im trying to see how much i can integrate the device into my life and if i could get blackboard mail updates on my ipod that would be great. I already plan on using it as an agenda lol.</p>
<p>Thank you Sats</p>
<p>Wait im not sure i understand your question. Umm do you want to forward your FSU mail to gmail or something like that? </p>
<p>What app are you going to use to download the webmail? If you have an app name i can find more info. </p>
<p>You can forward your fsu webmail to another email address if that is what you are looking for.</p>
<p>FSU POP settings are:</p>
<p>server: pop.fsu.edu
SSL: yes
your FSUID username and password</p>
<p>hope that helps,
sats</p>

I really don’t wanna get a goldfish. They smell bad.</p>
<p>hey,</p>
<p>so, i got an email today that was about convocations for the fall. it says that all new students must attend. but, i’m a transfer student coming in as a junior, so is this really applicable? because from what i understand its a welcoming ceremony for the class of 2013, which i wont be in.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>It is a nice welcoming ceremony. It is attended by students, faculty, parents, family, even upperclassmen. I went as a parent. I think it is to welcome the new students and the new school year. While most new students are freshman, not all new students are. </p>
<p>I don’t recall that it was mandatory even for freshman.</p>
<p>Well, if you have not really gotten a good idea about what life at FSU will be like, then i suggest you attend. Otherwise, just forget about it if you really don’t care that much.</p>
