Student housing at Florida State University is governed by the Office of University Housing, and provides housing for undergraduates, graduate students, and professional students on and off-campus. Overall about 85% of first time in college students live in residence halls. In addition over 20% of all undergraduates live in student housing.
Facilities at Florida State include 17 residence halls on campus. About 6,200 undergraduates live in a majority of the residence halls. Nontraditional Student and Family Housing consists of Rogers Hall, an apartment facility with 94 one bedroom units reserved for single graduate students and older single undergraduate students, a single or double-occupancy apartment; and Ragans Hall an apartment facility with space for graduate students designated in building 4. Ragans Hall also houses undergraduate students above the freshman level in three-and four-bedroom apartments, with a total capacity of 555 students.

Kellum, a 10-story brick building, was erected in the 1950s as many male students entered FSU in the post-World War II period. Sandy D’Alemberte, a president of FSU, called the architecture of the building "Sputnik era" due to its functional design. It was named after John Gabriel Kellum, the business manager of the Florida State College for Women.
