<p>Does anyone have any first or secondhand experience with FSU's physics department? I visited and it seemed great, thought I'm wondering if the "sales pitch" is any different from the real thing. Any info would be great. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Second-hand info - daughter and family members took the undergraduate physics with calculus series required of virtually all science majors.</p>
<p>Physics at FSU is a strength. It is likely the best physics department in Florida. Winning the [National</a> High Magnetic Field Laboratory away from MIT](<a href=“http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/about/history.html]National”>http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/about/history.html) and others is one indication of the enthusiasm FSU has for physics.</p>
