Florida State University
📍 Tallahassee, FL
The quick take
FSU rooms include the basics, but bed size varies by hall. Buy extra-long twin sheets and you will be covered for either standard FSU mattress length.
Know your assignment first
FSU residence halls include suite-style and apartment-style options. Suite bathrooms connect two rooms, and residents handle regular bathroom cleaning. Apartment-style facilities include a full-size refrigerator. Check your hall page before buying storage or kitchen gear because layouts and furnishings vary.
Bed size and furniture
- Bryan Hall and Jennie Murphree Hall mattresses are 36 x 76 inches.
- All other residence halls use 36 x 80-inch Twin XL mattresses.
- Twin XL sheets fit both sizes.
- Rooms generally include a bed, mattress, desk, chair, dresser, closet space, refrigerator and recycling bin.
- Beds adjust to create up to about 30 inches of storage below the spring. Skip the homemade loft engineering project.
Pack first
Twin XL bedding, mattress protector, shower caddy and shoes, towels, hangers, laundry supplies, cleaning supplies, a surge-protected power strip and compact storage that can wait until after room measurements.
Appliances and rules
Microwaves must be 700 watts or less (700-watt microwaves). University furniture stays in the room. Lofts and furniture stacking are not allowed. Review the current housing guide before packing risers, decorations or appliances.
Before move-in
- Confirm your hall and room type.
- Coordinate shared items with your roommate.
- Review arrival instructions and the latest residence-living guide.
- Measure first, then buy the oddly specific storage cart.
