With your studies just minutes away, you’ll find tasty eats and convenience stores on your doorstep when you live at Villa Cristina. Start your weekend with a haircut at Renegade Barber Shop for guys or Toppers for girls, then pick up fresh sushi rolls at Tally Thai and Sushi or feast on Chimichanga at Los Compadres Mexican restaurant. Spend the afternoon exploring hundreds of years of colonial history at Mission San Luis, before chilling with a book or your headphones by the tranquil lake. Shop for groceries at Publix on your way home to buy supplies for a home-cooked dinner with friends.

Live just a five-minute drive from Florida State University, or make the most of the beautiful location to walk to your studies at FSU in just over 20 minutes. Students at Florida A&M University can commute to campus in just 15 minutes by car, and the shops and culture of downtown are also within easy reach from Villa Cristina.

Wake up to the sound of birds chirping in the trees surrounding your apartment. In the height of summer, you might want to take a dip in the swimming pool before freshening up in your private bathroom. Spend cooler winter mornings brewing coffee for you and your roommates in your shared kitchen.

On the weekend, have an outdoor study session on the shaded grass in front of the building, or work on your paper in the privacy of your own room using the free high-speed internet. You can also use the resident computer lounge to get some research done ahead of classes.

Hang out with friends on the poolside sun deck, or pop some popcorn in the microwave and have a movie night in your apartment’s comfy living area with cable TV and HBO included. There are laundry facilities in each unit, so you can catch up on your chores whenever you like, then hang your clean clothes up in your walk-in wardrobe. There’s a 24-hour maintenance team on-site if you ever need help and you can choose to have your apartment furnished or unfurnished.
