Residential Student Experience

Residence Life

Provides a residential environment that enhances student learning beyond the classroom. Students living in the residence halls are part of a community that fosters their roles as responsible citizens who appreciate the differences of others, engage in scholarship, and aunderstand the benefits of personal wellness. Students are able to get involved and participate in leadership opportunities, such as hall council, hall ambassadors, the Inter-Residence Hall Council (IRHC) and the Garnet & Gold chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH). The residence halls are staffed by professional, graduate, and undergraduate student staff members committed to ensuring students live in a safe, secure, and inclusive community where they can live, grow, learn, and thrive.

Home Team

This team includes assignments, customer service, and marketing staff. They facilitate all student assignments processes including contracting, room selection, occupancy management, and special group assignments . Marketing efforts focus on communicating the value of living on campus to new and returning students. As the main point of contact for prospective students and their families, this team consistently communicates the ways in which living on campus contributes to student success through social media, department web and print publications, special events for admitted students, and exceptional customer service.

Residence Education

In each of FSU’s Living-Learning Communities (LLCs), like-minded students share a wing, floor or small residence hall and take inhall classes together. Eleven LLC themes connect residents by a major, a career goal, or a general interest such as social justice. Most residents are first-year students, although a few are invited to return to their LLCs as RAs or sophomore mentors. Communities vary in size from 30 to 170 students and some halls house more than one LLC. Six of our residence halls were built or renovated with these programs in mind, incorporating classrooms, faculty offices and other LLCinspired spaces in their design. FSU’s Living-Learning Communities operate as a partnership between Student Affairs and Academic Affairs, with non-resident faculty directors designing and directing each community and instructing LLC courses. University Housing provides LLC residents with the same supportive environment, programming and opportunities available to their non-LLC peers.
