<p>Very funny lizard, I’ve never heard of rats. 
Just common Florida pests. I never had a bug problem in Gilchrist. I did have a short ant problem here in McCollum. Little black ants would trail their way from my bathroom behind the sink- probably from my neighbor- over to the wall behind my desk. It was trivial enough I didn’t want to get my entire room sprayed over it. When they showed up for a second stint I bought a package of Terro ant baits that seemed to do the trick. Haven’t seen them since then. </p>
<p>Most students accept and take pride in whatever accommodation they receive. If you do end up having an allergy problem, major roommate issues, ect. FSU seems to be really good with housing transfer requests. I wouldn’t worry too much.</p>
