Calling all FSU families—we want to hear from YOU! 📣

Whether it’s your go-to weekend brunch spot, the best place to grab FSU gear, or your favorite Tallahassee experience when visiting campus, we want to know what current and past FSU families love most about their students' home away from home!

🗳️ Vote now through FSU Family Connection at https://fsu.campusesp.com/surveys/fsu-families-top-picks. Voting ends on October 31.
