— Excellent Location:
Renegade and Osceola have an excellent location, pedestrian to campus. The properties are situated just south of Tennessee Street, which is the main drag marking the north edge of campus. This walkable location is particularly advantageous as FSU is known for lacking sufficient student parking for those driving to campus daily. FSU students often cite a pedestrian location as the most important factor in deciding where to live in Tallahassee. The northwest side of campus hosts numerous academic buildings such as the College of Medicine, Psychology Department, Biology Building and Chemistry Building, and is also home to the Leach Recreation Center.
