<p>Whoa, slow down. Lots of incorrect information in your post.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If you haven’t already applied for Fall/Spring Housing, you’re running out of time. Priority numbers are already well over 6000, which means that you’re going to get the least wanted rooms on campus- basically, you’re getting the leftovers. If you want a suite-style dorm, you’re pretty much out of luck with just the regular housing application. </p></li>
<li><p>An LLC guarantees you a room in whatever dorm the LLC is housed in. If you haven’t applied for housing yet, an LLC is pretty much your only option at this point. I’m not sure what you mean about the cost killing you, though. Can you elaborate on that point? Unless I’m mistaken, there’s no extra cost for the LLCs…</p></li>
<li><p>Meal plans aren’t required in all of the dorms. Only the renovated east side dorms require one. [See</a> here for a list of which dorms require meal plans and which do not](<a href=“http://housing.fsu.edu/housing/ungrad/mealplans.html]See”>http://housing.fsu.edu/housing/ungrad/mealplans.html). Only four of the LLCs are in dorms that require meal plans, and they are located in only three of the housing buildings. </p></li>
<li><p>At this point, if you’re wanting to live on campus at all, you need to apply for Fall/Spring Housing now. If you apply now though you are almost guaranteed to get a room in Smith or Kellum, as those are typically the last buildings on campus with rooms available. If you want to live in a suite-style dorm, then you are pretty much going to have to apply to an LLC and get accepted. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>As for whether to live on campus or off campus, that’s really a decision that you have to make. Since you’re in FSU CARE, it would likely be best to live on-campus, though.</p>
