Possible People I May Interview
I wouldn’t mind getting as many people’s views as possible. I sort of need the perspective of a lot of people to get an idea of why they feel stereotyped against or feel like stereotyping students at UF. If at all possible, I wouldn’t mind interviewing a few UF students as well. Possible people would include:
Laymon Hicks (current student body president)
Geno Hill (my roommate)
Random student on Landis
Jon Starr (UF Student)
Jordan Loar (UF Student)
Just to name a few…The president might give some insight on to what the rest of the student body thinks or feels. Geno is a longtime friend and could give me some straight answers. Random students could provide some useful info and insight as to how the felt with there choice in coming to FSU, whether or not it was the right choice for them, and how they view our neighboring universities. Then I could learn a little from the opposite side of the fence and ask the same things to people I know at UF.
Interviews might start out a little like this.
1) What are the coolest college colors?
2) How do you feel about choosing (your college)?
3) Did you feel any outside influence while picking your respective college from other people? How did they influence your decision?
4) What are some general college stereotypes you feel come from living in this environment, where Universities are constantly in a state of competition?
5) Does rivalry affect you/or your community?
6) Does your family have history with any University? Did you feel as if you inherited the rivalries?
7) What kinds of things do you think a good school should be judged on?
8) Is this all just fun and games or do we really take on the view that the people at (opposite college) are bad people?
9) What sorts of emotions arise from you when you think about the other school?
10) Where do you think these stereotypes came from and why?

I think these are great sources to interview. I agree with the fact that your topic really relies on people's opinions, especially the students themselves who go to either UF or FSU. I also think interviewing our student leaders is a great idea. I'm very interested to see the results of these interviews.
ReplyDeleteYour paper seems to be very interesting. I like that you wold like to use the student body president for your paper. By interviewing Laymon Hicks, you could assume that his perspective on the issue wold be representative of a substancial percentage of the population here at F.S.U. I am very curious to read your final paper.
