Student housing at Florida State University is governed by the Office of University Housing, and provides housing for undergraduates, graduate students, and professional students on and off-campus. Overall, about 85% of first time college students live in residence halls. In addition over 20% of all undergraduates live in student housing. [2]

Contents

Facilities at Florida State include 18 residence halls on campus with 6,712 residents. Undergraduates live in a majority of the residence halls. [1]

In 2009, the university celebrated the completion of a 15-year project that renovated the seven historic residence halls (built before 1950). The interiors were modernized while the original facades were retained. The construction began in 1992 with Jennie Murphree Hall and ended in 2006 with Landis Hall. [3]

All dormitories are co-ed with no single sex buildings. With few exceptions, all dormitories were constructed as suites with private bathrooms. [1]

It opened when housing shortages forced schools across the country to provide living quarters for married, older, and foreign students. A-V was cheap, no-frills, not air-conditioned, brick apartments for $50–60 per month. The complex had childcare, playgrounds, tennis courts and picnic tables. Officially, the complex was Alumni Memorial Village because the street names were those of FSU graduates who recently died. [26]
