<p>What is the difference between community style and suite style at FSU?
Also what is the difference between a private bath, a shared bath, or a floor bath?</p>

<p>To answer the community vs suite style question, FSU housing has this to say:

Community-Style Halls
These halls provide the most traditional residence hall experience and provide the most opportunity for social interaction since students must leave their rooms to use the restroom. Community-style residence halls are traditional corridor style with 2 community bathrooms per floor. Each community bathroom is equipped with 3 or more shower stalls, toilets, and sinks. Another benefit of community-style halls is that they have the only bathrooms that are cleaned each weekday by University Housing custodial staff.</p>

<p>Suite-Style Halls
These halls feature two bedrooms that share a bathroom. Bathrooms in all of the suite-style halls have one shower and toilet that are shared by 4-5 students. Residents of the suite are responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms. One sink is located in each bedroom, except in Salley Hall where the sink is located within the bathroom. Salley Hall suites also include a four-person study room within the suite.

<p>As for private vs. shared vs. floor bathrooms:</p>

<p>Private means that only one room has access to the bathroom, and it’s shared by residents of just that one room. Typically that is reserved for those with disabilities that are documented with Housing.</p>

<p>Shared is the standard suite-style: two rooms share access to one bathroom. The residents of both rooms have access to the bathroom, which means that 4 or 5 students share them.</p>

<p>Floor is community-style: there’s one set of bathrooms/showers on the floor that are available to everyone to use. They’re cleaned daily by hall staff. </p>

<p>One thing to keep in mind: Dorman and Deviney are currently in the process of being rebuilt as suite-style buildings. Two new buildings will open in Fall 2015.</p>
