When class is done for the day, pack a picnic lunch and spend the day at San Luis Mission Park, a sprawling green space connected to an 18th century Franciscan mission. For a change of pace, browse the galleries at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts, or view state relics at the Florida History Museum. Get your shopping fix at Governor’s Square, which is a convenient mall with hundreds of stores and restaurants. When the sun sets, meet friends at Tijuana Flats, a lively Mexican restaurant with an enormous hot sauce bar guaranteed to make you sweat.

Your new home is a five-minute drive from Florida State University, a four-minute drive from Tallahassee Community College, and an 11-minute drive from Florida A&M University. A fare-free bus line is based just outside your front door, and there’s plenty of on-site parking for you and your guests.

When you get back to Seminole Trails, toss your books on your desk and freshen up in your private ensuite. Take a power nap to recharge, or head to the shared living space to catch up with flatmates and enjoy the warm breeze coming in from the balcony if you’ve chosen a home with one. Put a load of laundry in the machine to wash while you fix dinner in the tiled kitchen. Relaxe over cozy meals at your dining table or indulge with an evening out at one of the many nearby restaurants. Pizza Quick is just moments away and offers freshly made pies to eat in or take away.

Seminole Trails makes staying healthy easy, with two swimming pools and a brand-new fitness center. When you’re done with your workout, the outdoor hot tub is the perfect place to melt away the tension of the day.

Back inside, you can focus on your studies in the 24-hour study lounge, where you can print reports and log on to high-speed internet on shared computers. You can even bring your furry friend to keep you company because Seminole Trails is pet friendly.
