Step outside your front door and set off to explore Tallahassee’s cultural gems. Get the lay of the land from the observation deck at the Florida State Capitol, before browsing the exhibits at the Museum of Florida History. Meet friends for a quick lunch and a beer at the Fermentation Lounge, before checking out over 50 galleries and studios at funky Railroad Square Art Park. For a change of pace, drive south to St Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge, where you can spot alligators bobbing in the marshes.

Your new home is located just two blocks from Florida State University and a 10-minute bike ride to Florida A&M University. After a busy day, you can safely keep your bike in ONYX’s secure storage facility.

You’ll enjoy the brand-new features and spacious floorplans at ONYX. Focus on your college work at your private study area, or work on group projects in the communal study lounge. There’s even a coffee bar to keep your energy levels high during late-night study sessions.

When it’s time to take a break, burn off steam at the fitness center, relax in the sauna, or top up your tan on the tanning bed. Toss your laundry in the handy in-room washer dryer before freshening up in your bathroom.

You’ll find everything you need to fix dinner in the open-plan kitchen, including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and plenty of cabinet space to store fresh ingredients from Tallahassee Farmers’ Market. If you’re too busy to cook, head down the street to Voodoo Dog, where you can order a hamburger topped with mac and cheese.

With two resident lounges and two outdoor courtyards, socializing is easy. Catch up with fellow students by the pool or kick back in front of the JumboTron in the hot tub.

There are retail shops located on the bottom floor, so you never have to go far to get your shopping fix. There’s on-site management to help with any issues that may arise, and electronic door entry provides extra security.
