As a child of worrying parents, I know how stressful it is for parents to let their babies to finally leave the "coop." My mom was super concerned about me deciding to live off-campus—as most parents would—but she knew it was better for me in the long run. Living on my own has taught me how to manage the responsibilities of adulthood and to really grow as an individual. If your child is choosing to live in the FSU apartments off-campus, let RentTally help give you some peace of mind that they can do the same thing.
Tallahassee Off-Campus Apartment Security Features
There are many Tallahassee apartments that offer the right amount of security for their residents. These communities in Tallahassee vary from gated communities, apartments with security patrols or alarm systems installed in the units—all ways in order to ensure your precious "baby bird" is safe and sound in their home away from home. Gated communities require your approval of who's coming into the community with a press of a button from your child or from a security officer. Courtesy patrols provide safety around the community all-day and overnight. These patrol officers are like an active neighborhood and they report anything suspicious in the community first. Alarm systems provided by Tallahassee apartments go the extra mile to ensure your child and their valuables are safe.

FAMU and Tallahassee's Police Department work in unison to ensure your child will be just as safe on that campus, too.
