I was a "non-traditional" student at FSU. I worked a FT job and had a difficult time finding a place to live my Junior/Senior year that was quiet, nice, that DIDN'T view me as a typical student, and didn't charge astronomical semesterly rent... I feel your pain!
I would recommend you try the Braddock Apartments. They are really close to campus (right of I-68 exit for campus - take the 1st right). The apartments are nice, affordable, safe, and next to a community, Braddock Heights, that allows for great walks. You can also walk to campus.
Another idea is the College Flats on Grant St. Across the street from the original buildings (87 and 89 S. Grant) is a new building (91 S. Grant St, I think...). These cater more to grad students and non-tradionals in my opinion. They come furnished (with really nice furniture and fixtures - not your typical college furniture). They are certainly home-feeling. Again, these are within walking distance to campus, but it's a little more of a hike. PM me for the point of contact.
Best of luck...
