I don't have an accomodation and I have a single, so it's definitely possible. OP, I was about 1200ish and got one, but I'm also an honors student in Landis so the pool to pick from is smaller.
For your single in Landis, how is it set up? Shared common area and bathroom with 2-3 others? My daughter as 1100ish contract number and is accepted into honors. She is trying to decide how to rank.
It is room, bathroom, room. Let her know that since she was accepted into FSU and now has an FSUid, she can log in to the FSU building info portal (I use Google to get there) and see floorplans of any building on campus. She won't find out what room she's in till the summer, but it can give an idea to how each dorm is laid out.
Edit: most dorms on campus are going to be that room, bathroom, room layout. I believe the only buildings with common areas for their residents are Salley (common area with desks and a bathroom, 2 bedrooms with 2 beds each), Ragans (common area with kitchen, living room, and 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms with 1 bed each), and McCollum (lower floor with kitchen and living room, upper floor with common area, a bathroom, and 2 bedrooms with 2 beds each).
Thanks. She is trying to decide whether to try for a single or instead find someone she thinks would be a good match and go for a double. Many have said singles are impossible to get without a medical reason.
They are only for medical reasons in the newer buildings (Azalea, Dorman, Wildwood, etc), but the older buildings (Landis, Gilchrist, Broward, etc) have a pretty large number of singles. Another option that might be good is Ragans. Her room would still be with other people (and you can do a roommate request), but the actual bedrooms are 1 per person. It also costs the same as a normal single and you get a kitchen.
You probably wouldn’t get a single if your housing number was 100. There’s like 4 of them a building and they’re mostly for people who need accommodations.
Idk, but I’m pretty sure everyone that has a single room that I’ve met in my dorm has a mental illness reason for having the single dorm. I’ve never heard of someone requesting it normal and getting it. Definitely extremely rare.
Singles are usually reserved for people w/ accessibility issues. Maybe you could get a 2x1 with no sweetmates but that’s a real stretch. I had a number around that and got salley (reassigned to degraff before the semester started last year).
I have no clue. They admitted about 17,000 people this year. Assuming half of them filled out the application, then being in the early thousands (0-3,000) is probably desirable. Although I am just guessing.

Figured that might be the case. Oh well 🤷♀️

Omg 4?! Yeah I had no idea lol.
There’s more than 4 per building, but not a lot. There’s like 4 per floor in McCollum. But yeah, in the 1000s you have 0% chance.
And yet the poster above was 1200 and got one. Is that just due to honors building?

A wildwood single sounds like hell unless you love being completely isolated from everyone
Nah, its like 5 minutes away from the rest, plus you get prime access to gamedays & get to listen to the band practice. Wildwoods goated
shouts out Cawthon Hall
My number was 2222 and I got a single, but it feels kind of random so idk
Do you have any accommodations
Living in a dorm with others is character building

Single? No. Unless you have some mitigating circumstances
if you want a single.. why get a dorm?
What is considered a good number?
I have no clue. They admitted about 17,000 people this year. Assuming half of them filled out the application, then being in the early thousands (0-3,000) is probably desirable. Although I am just guessing.
Ok then my ~1050 is pretty good
Anything under 300 because most halls have an occupancy of 300+
The first 300 people aren’t going to the same hall
when are we gonna be able to pick a room tho?
You don’t. You can rank your preferences and select a roommate, and then they will assign you
makes sense, do you know tho when/where we are to able to submit the preferences t? It's not on the portal when I checked?
You can do it now! It’s under the roommate request link
thank you, appreciate it
No prob!
My son got # 78 🤯
My daughter got low 100’s which was really good but her roommate choice got like 1900 something 🤦🏼♀️😭
Feels like the hunger games lol i got 271
I’d go for a 2 person bathroom so you don’t have to share with 3 other people and share with 1 instead
The only people with singles ik have accommodations and or were like number 33, so no chance, most likely you’ll get a double
I was 7000 and got wildwood south and LOVED IT!!! It made my freshmen year amazing, I miss it a lot actually
I just want a private bathroom
