Florida State University | By the Numbers

Where should I go to grad school? It's going to be either Florida State University or Rice University. I've already visited FSU (yesterday) and I'll be visiting Rice soon. I haven't posted many photos lately because I've been traveling and mostly taking pictures of universities.
