I can answer these although Russ may have better answers.
a) It depends on what beach. Tallahassee is approximately an hour away from the Gulf of Mexico. As for the Atlantic Ocen, it's about 3 hours away. Panama City is approximately 1.5 hours (or less) from Tallahassee and it's a really nice beach.
b) I think the law school is either 2nd or 3rd tier. I'm not sure how easy it is to get in. If you're looking for a 1st tier law school in Florida, I would suggest the University of Florida.
c) It's not too expensive to live in Tallahassee but I think it's above average. Friends of mine at FSU pay about $800-900 for a 2 bedroom apartment. This is about the same for any bigger city in Florida.
d) It is humid. Think 90+ degrees with 60% humidity. If you are walking over a mile to class during the summer months (March-October in Florida), may I suggest bringing some deoderant and a body splash of sorts to freshen up before sitting down next to a classmate?
