First-Year Students
Start your college experience surrounded by community, with your Resident Advisor and floormates just steps away.
Feel at Home in FSC's Residential Community
Our residence halls are more than a place to sleep. They're where you'll pull an all-nighter with your study group, share a late dinner with friends, and find the people who make FSC feel like home. Whether you want a historic hall in the middle of everything or an apartment with a lake view and your own kitchen, there's a place here that fits. We could tell you about it, but it's better if we show you.
Take a Look Around
The best way to know a place is through the people who live there. Step inside our residence halls and see the rooms, common spaces, and lakefront views for yourself.
A Place for Everyone
Florida Southern offers residence halls and apartments across campus, from traditional first-year halls to furnished apartments with full kitchens and Greek housing. Each residence has its own character, whether that's lake views, a historic building at the heart of campus, or the independence of apartment living. With this many options, you'll find your fit.
Continuing and Graduate Students
Move toward independence with halls for continuing students, apartments, and graduate housing.
Living and Learning
Your education doesn't stop when you leave the classroom. Residence Life programs are built around a nationally recognized leadership model, so the things you do in your hall build real skills: working with people who see things differently, leading a group, following through on something that matters. Along the way you'll make the friendships that outlast graduation.
Your Support Network
You won't navigate campus life alone. Professional staff in the Office of Residence Life help you settle in and build community throughout your time at FSC. Your Resident Advisor is a fellow student who was recently in your shoes, living in your building and ready to help you make friends, work through a roommate question, or figure out where to go when something comes up. Beyond your hall, campus safety officers, health and wellness staff, and disability services are all within walking distance.
