There really is nothing quite like going to college in the south. We have tons of perks at our warm weather schools and no, we will never feel sorry for our northerner friends when we post Snapchats in 80 degrees during winter time.
If you don't have a friend at a school down south that you can go visit let me give you an inside look on the 14 best things about going to school in the South.
1. Dope weather
Obviously, the weather is half the reason why we chose our southern schools and nothing beats hitting the pool in between classes.
2. Beaches (before and after class)
Clearly another upside of going to school in warm weather means getting to have weekend beach trips with your friends!
3. People are way nicer
Yes, this is not a myth it is in fact the truth people are way nicer down south.
4. Palm trees. Everywhere.
Ah nothing beats looking out your window and seeing palms :)
5. Flip flops all day every day
Lazy day=flip flops
running late=flip flops
Jk flip flops are acceptable at all times!
6. Big football
In the south we do football. That's just science.
7. Publix
A serious luxury that we have down here is our Publix supermarkets.
8. Having sunglasses on your person every day.
Oh you thought the fun just stopped at flip flops everyday well guess again you get to wear sunglasses almost every day as well!
9. Never seeing snow... until winter break.
Going to school down south means never having to deal with cold weather and snow until you have to go back home and see it.
10. Tanning is acceptable anywhere
Have a few minutes between class, catch some rays on the quad its totally ok down here!
11. "Y'all"
This is actually a thing, you can tell any northerner apart from a southerner just by one word, but when you go to school here it just becomes apart of your vocabulary.
12. Everything moves a littler slower.
If you are someone from up north going to school in the south you can totally see the change of pace, and the slow lifestyle is definitely different but way much calmer.
13. Partying is a different ball game.
No one parties like we do down south. If you go to a big time football school you truly know what a darty is all about. But seriously drinking during the day is a normality down here.
14. Our food is better.
Obviously you've heard of southern comfort food, yea we have that but something no one will be able to touch is the Mexican food in Florida, it's the real deal.
So, if you have the option and the means to attend school in the South, you should probably do that ASAP.
