Housing Day FAQs

Living On Campus

There's no better way to adjust to life as a Flagler Student than by living on campus. That's why we require our first- and second-year students to live on campus. It’s also why so many students choose to keep living here for the rest of their time at Flagler, in residence halls that made University Magazine's "Best College Dorms in Florida 2025" list.

It can also save you money. With the average monthly rent in St. Augustine at $1,890, choosing to reside on campus can translate into substantial savings of $3,500 or more per semester. And that's not counting WiFi and utilities, which are included at Flagler but not in most rent bills. 

Be free

When you live on campus, life's easier. You have free access to washers and dryers, free WiFi,  and two swimming pools to choose from. You can kayak or fish the Matanzas River with free equipment from our dock, lounge by a fire pit, or work out in our fitness facilities. Or, get some quiet time in the study spaces located throughout all six of our residence halls. 

When you're ready to eat, you can choose from a list of dining options to fit your mood. You can get a custom meal from 10 different serving stations in our opulent dining hall. Or, use an app to order up a quick meal at Chick-fil-A.  Pick up a freshly brewed coffee from the Kookaburra and a pastry. Or,  just get a grab-and-go soda and snack at one of our two P.O.D.s. It's all included in our meal plans.

Get around with ease

You can bike, walk, or ride and be in class, downtown, or at your favorite social spot in minutes. 

Living on our beautiful campus puts you closer to your classes (and the action). All six of our residence halls are within biking and walking distance to campus and downtown shops, galleries, restaurants, and popular places to hang out. 

Free Shuttle Service

We also offer shuttle service at frequent intervals Monday through Friday from Sebastian House, FEC Towers, and Kenan Hall.
