FSU On-Campus Housing

I might be attending FSU next year, and I'm curious about the on-campus housing options. For those who've lived on campus, what was your experience like? Any tips on which dorms are best for freshmen?

I can give you some insights into on-campus housing at FSU. As a freshman, you'll generally have a variety of housing options, including traditional dorms, suite-style dorms, and some apartment-style living options. Each residence has pros and cons, so it largely depends on your personal preferences.

Traditional dorms, such as Deviney Hall and Dorman Hall, are known for their social atmosphere since they feature communal bathrooms and common rooms. This setup can make it easy to meet new people and make friends early on in your college experience.

Landis and Gilchrist Halls are popular choices among Honors students, as Landis is located near the Honors, Scholars, and Fellows House, and both are centrally located on campus. They have suite-style living arrangements, where two rooms share a connecting bathroom.

If you prefer a slightly more independent living situation, consider suite-style dorms like Magnolia Hall and Azalea Hall which offer more privacy. These buildings are newer and provide more amenities, such as a game room, a kitchen, and study rooms on each floor.

When selecting an on-campus housing option, think about factors like proximity to classes, dining areas, or other campus facilities that are important to you. Also, consider what type of living arrangement suits your personality and needs best - do you prefer a more social environment or something quieter and more private?

Lastly, keep in mind that as a freshman, you might not have as much choice when it comes to the residence hall you're assigned to. However, you can indicate your preferences during the housing application process, and they will be taken into consideration.

I hope this information is helpful as you think about your potential on-campus living experience at FSU!
