Hi! My name is Connor and I am a current sophomore at FSU. I am an out of state student - from Pennsylvania, originally - and I am majoring in economics but just applied to the film school. Fingers Crossed!

Describe your college experience

I chose to travel from Pennsylvania to FSU, because I wanted to meet new people away from home and start fresh. I think that while the culture at FSU can be a bit intimidating, I have come out of my shell here and had great new experiences.

Tip for future students

Applying to the honors college is totally worth it, and I would highly recommend getting involved on campus in some way, whether that be Greek life, clubs or organizations, or anything else.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has probably been Nature vs. Nurture in the Middle Ages, an honors signature course. I am an honors student, so I am required to take honors signature courses to graduate, and I have found that they are all just teachers getting to teach about a specific area that they are incredibly passionate about and that energy is infectious, especially in the aforementioned class.

Career goals

I hope to work in the film industry after college. I am interested in the business side of that industry, but also the creative, so I am not entirely sure what I want to end up doing, but I am certain that that industry is where I belong.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Hanging out with a smaller group of friends at an apartment, watching a movie, playing videogames, or just hanging out.

High school or secondary school

I attended Springfield High School in Springfield, PA, 19064, United States of America

Meeting point

Westcott Fountain on the Florida State University campus
