Life in Tallahassee
The City
Tallahassee, nestled among the rolling hills of northwest
Florida, is only 20 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico and 14
miles south of Georgia. As the state capital, Tallahassee is
home to two major universities and a community college, which
have a combined total of 60,000 students. With a median age of
26.3, Tallahassee is Florida’s youngest city.
Tallahassee experiences the mild, moist climate of the Gulf
states, along with a subtropical summer similar to the rest of
Florida. Because of its location between these two regions,
Tallahassee experiences all four seasons.
The University
As a Carnegie I Research Institution, Florida
State University provides a rich research environment with a
number of very successful programs that span the biomedical
sciences. These include structural biology, neuroscience,
chemistry, and biochemistry. Research at FSU is also supported
by the School of Computational Science and Informational
Technology, and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
