From The Archives: 20-year-old Jim Morrison gets rejected by Florida State University in a public relations film emphasizing ?the need for more college-educated Floridians to work in the state?s rapidly expanding industries.?
In actuality, the future Doors frontman was a Florida State University student at the time.

Let's not forget that Jim was an actor who played a guy rejected by FSU. In fact, he did attend FSU for a while, and I believe he transfered to UCLA film school. I believe he dropped out, to pursue other passions. It's a shame he never amounted to much...:sarc:

He attended FSU for one semester. He had an apartment on College Avenue near the current Potbelly's bar and grill.

Those students exiting the classroom were coming out of the old Florida State University research and developmental high school. The medical school sits there now and the school was relocated to South Wood.

I love the reference to 'gates' at the end since there haven't been gates there since before the 1940's.
