TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – The Capital City is welcoming tens of thousands of college students back to town. <\/p>\n
Classes started today at Tallahassee State College and both FSU and FAMU will begin classes next week. <\/p>\n
A TSC spokesperson says enrollment this fall is up to 13,000 students. <\/p>\n
Mackelle Remy is new to TSC and to Tallahassee. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been looking around for my classes for tomorrow and the other days so I don\u2019t get lost,\u201d Remy said. \u201cSo other than that it\u2019s been great. I like the environment and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Remy is eventually hoping to transfer to FSU. <\/p>\n
A TSC spokesperson says 77% of the students ultimately transfer to a university, and most of them – about 60% – enroll at FSU or FAMU. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m confused and a little lost, but other than that I\u2019m excited,\u201d TSC student Heaven Taylor said. She\u2019s still in high school but the aspiring psychologist is already working on her associate\u2019s degree. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m almost done,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cThis will be my second to last semester here.\u201d<\/p>\n
TSC is offering several new degree programs this fall including a BSN in nursing and two new degrees in business.<\/p>\n
Students will also have access to the brand new Innovation Hub which gives them a chance to go hands on with emerging technologies like 3D printers, lasers and robotic arms.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is our first full semester in the fall where we\u2019ll be able to engage our students from the very beginning,\u201d said Dr. Anthony Jones, Dean of Library Services and Learning Commons. <\/p>\n
\u201cI will go on the record and say we are probably one of the only state colleges in Florida which has this multi-functional space,\u201d Jones said. <\/p>\n
TSC is the first Tallahassee campus to start classes for the fall semester. <\/p>\n
FSU and FAMU are scheduled to start classes next Monday, August 24, but many students are already back in town. <\/p>\n
FSU students started moving in Friday and FAMU students started moving in today. <\/p>\n
