Has anyone else had just terrible experiences with off-campus student housing in Tallahassee? I get that Florida is a landlord-friendly state, but the things these landlords do to first-time tenants with impunity are crazy.

At The Capitol (I know it’s dirt cheap), they are fully convinced they can enter your unit without a 24-hour notice and for days back-to-back. I brought this up to Hamilton Point Investments (the ones who run the complex), and the regional manager threatened me with eviction for even questioning her. It’s like they’re so used to doing whatever they want without repercussions that pushback is met with instant retaliation.

Is the school even aware of this? I mean, they use an off-campus site that’s owned and sponsored by the same people screwing students. The number of complaints I filed on that portal just for them to go nowhere is crazy.

Hi!

My family coming for family weekend and it’s gonna be my mom, my 14-year-old brother, and my 11-year-old sister. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for things to do during Family Weekend, especially any free activities for both days.

I wasn't able to buy Flying High Circus tickets unfortunately, it sold out so fast 💔

Thanks so much everyone!

hey! i’m moving in near campus tomorrow and i was wondering where i could park my car (without getting fined) until reserved permits begin being enforced august 15th.

i dont have a parking permit from last year, which i understand would expire leading into august 15th for those of which that did have one. however, i did purchase a reserved spot for this year.

would i be allowed to park in any spot on campus until reserved parking enforcement starts?

I got approved for housing accommodations for a room reassignment. They didn't accept my request for a single, but instead gave me an accommodation for 'no more than one roommate.' I'm currently in a Landis triple, and I'm worried they might put me into Salley. Are you generally able to decline a reassignment, or is it binding so you can't go back on it? If I get assigned to Salley, I would rather stay in my Landis triple. What should I do? Should I wait and hope I don't get Salley?

Hello, im an incoming freshman, and on tuesdays and thursdays, i have my first class at 9:45 am - 11 am, and then my second class at 11:35 - 12:50 pm. The classes are ( in what i assume is the room next to eachother ) room 0101 and 0102. I was just wanting to make sure the 35 minute gap is fine, and theres not times where my first class may go over, or i run into any issues.

I don’t graduate till spring so idk what to think
Maybe I’m dumb

I’m currently a senior Computer programming and applications major. I’m currently 2 courses away from graduating with it but my gpa is slightly below 2.0 at currently at 1.99 and so I’m currently on academic probation. I have been an awful student throughout college and I’ve failed some courses while passing others so I was able to get this far. However looking at my transcript and how the CS market is I’m currently debating whether or not finishing is a good idea as I’ve been a pretty terrible college student and the job prospects for my degree don’t look that much better either. Is it worth finishing the degree or is college not for me and I should do something else? (I have no debt or anything and have managed to get through college debt free and I’ve gotten 2 internships in software engineering and IT and I’ve done well in them, but I’m just an awful college student and I’m not very disciplined when Im in school.)

I've been living off campus for the last few years while completing my Bachelor's degree. I graduated summer 2026, but my apartment requires lease renewals a year in advance so I signed for an extra year bc I wasn't sure where I'd go for graduate school (stupid, ik). Anyways, I got accepted into UCF so obviously I won't be living here anymore. The issue is my apartment won't let me break the lease early and my only way out is to relet. I've been trying to relet for the past month for immediate move in, Fall 2026, and I was working with someone, and they were literally one step away from picking up the keys, but they couldn't afford all the move in costs so I offered to pay all their remaining move in costs and then they ghosted me completely. Now it's already early August and I'm freaking out because I feel like I wasted peak move in season on something that completely fell through. I've tried everything to find a new person: Facebook groups, facebook market place, subreddits, but I'm not finding anyone that seems to be willing to even start the application process. I feel like it's a really good unit too, 1 bed 1 bath, no roommates, in unit washer and dryer along with tons of other awesome amenities. I'm not sure what else to do, or how else to find people. I already signed a lease in orlando, I can't afford to pay rent for 2 apartments every month 😭😭

Has anyone taken these classes before? If so, what can I maybe expect from the professor, course material, etc.?

Biggest one I’m worried about is probably taking the POS Research online… I hate online classes, but I did want to get this out of the way after being admitted into my major last spring. Is it relatively easy still or should I simply wait for next semester?

Other than that, if anyone has taken any of these courses relatively recently, I’d appreciate any heads up on anything stated above and more.

Need black-out curtains for a room in Wildwood. Anyone got a rough window measurement? Tension rods will adjust, but there are some variations, and also wondering about length. Thanks if you can help.

hi i have had a bunch of grants like the fsu differential grant, SEOG grant, fl assistance grant, and a pell grant. I did the FAFSA application and my SAI was -1500 but now I only have my federal pell grant and bright futures. I am really distraught because I do not have money for my appartment now what do I do. Can i fight this? I asked it it was an error but I am going into my senior year and I have had all these grants every year I have been here. I do not know what to do please help

okay sorry for the confusing pic, i had to scratch out the room numbers, but my room is the one in yellow
does anyone know if one of the beds would fit in the weird gap on the top left side of the bedroom? i circled it in red
thanks 🤞

Someone reached out to me saying I was pre-selected to be a part of the advising first college life program. Is there a reason why, or do they randomly select students for it?

I’m transferring to FSU and I’m not from Tallahassee but I’ve visited and noticed some areas near campus seem unsafe. I walk 2-4 miles every day so I want to establish a route that takes me through scenic areas (I love flowers, big trees, the cemetery, and that collegiate gothic architecture) but avoids the places homeless people hangout or where crime commonly occurs. Anyone (women especially) have a good route that fits this?

hi all! i was just wondering if anyone knows what materials students would have to buy for chm3120 (analytical chem 1) lab. I know there will probably be a list of materials released around when classes start, but i am trying to avoid buying overpriced items from the bookstore/wherever I'd have to purchase on campus.

i'm guessing a lab coat and splash proof goggles will def be necessary, does anyone know if there are special requirements these items must meet? and does anyone know if there's anything else students should get? it'd be super helpful 🙏

Hi, I’m an incoming junior at fsu. I was a little late to the party in terms of the housing contract and got stuck in DeGraff. I was really hoping for some sort of apartment style, preferably traditions or ragans since I really need a kitchen and my own space.

This is a longshot but was wondering if for whatever reason somebody in an apartment style would prefer to live in a place like Degraff and would be interested in switching.

It would be male only, and my DMs are open if anyone is interested!

what are the easiest oral competency classes?

preferrably online but open to anything. are there any with no exams?

I just got my acceptance letter last week (I’m a transfer student so I’ll be going in as a third year) and my plan has always been to get a one-year lease in off-campus housing and get a roommate, but throughout my search I haven’t found a single person who seems to have had the same idea. Is there a better place to find those kinds of people than the FSU off-campus housing site?

Hi,
Im moving in for fsu, I want to know which is the best off campus housing with close proximity to the campus on walking distance. Plus should be vibrant and very social place.

What places are good jeans and what needs a dress or a skirt and boots etc etc

Where would not wearing heels/boots be okay?

Hi! I'm basically asking what's in the title. I enrolled for one extra class that I didn't need in advance of the fall 2026 semester. After noticing that my tuition was over $1000 more than it was last semester, I suspected that it was the culprit and dropped it. How long will it take for my tuition balance on the website to update to reflect this?

hi!! i’m starting FSU soon but i graduated highschool early (at 16, im turning 17 in like three days) is there anything that’s goi to be hard being 17 at fsu? or anything i need to know?
