<p>You don’t have to sign up for the FSU health insurance, but you do have to have some health insurance. You can’t register for classes until you show proof of health insurance- either by purchasing the FSU plan or by filling out a form online about your health insurance.</p>
<p>Every dorm has kitchens available within the building- either in the rooms themselves (I think this is limited to Rogers/McCollum/Ragans though), on each floor (some others, such as Wildwood), or with a kitchen on a couple different floors (I believe Salley is like this).
As for which dorm to apply to, that’s a personal preference, really. You aren’t likely at all to get a single-person room. In fact, in most dorms the only way that happens is if you have a medical reason. The only exceptions are that Rogers offers single-person apartments, McCollum has a 1-person apartment option (but as a new Housing resident, you’re not going to get one of them, I’ll tell you that now), or to get a 4 bedroom apartment in Ragans (4 residents, 1 per bedroom).
However, you will also be paying a lot more for a single-person room than to have a roommate. With your budget, the only single that you might be able to afford is in Rogers, and even then it’s possible you’ll get a roommate (Rogers goes for around $600/month, I think).</p>
