No - freshmen are not required to stay in dorms on campus. I’ve not heard anything that would make this even a remote possibility for the foreseeable future. With the constant expansion of Florida State, there just are not enough dorms.

FSU is landlocked and has to buy or otherwise (e.g. gifts, donations, left through wills, etc) acquire land for expansion. Remember that FSU has been in the same location since the 1850s, and no one ever thought back then that there would be such a large university developing in the same spot.

If you happen to attend or visit Florida State, remember that thousands upon thousands of souls have trod the same paths up and down the hills and thought similar thoughts as you. From cadets going off to fight the Union Army at Natural Bridge to the most accomplished scientists thinking about bucky balls, they have all been in the same place.

It’s got a real sense of history.
