Availibility

Availibility is a huge thing at USF. Because class sizes do remain so small, you have a relationship with each of your teachers. Each teacher has office hours every week during which you can meet with them. Because the school is in a very diverse city, the teachers also come from all around. In my experience I've had teachers from Japan, Russia, all over the US and from Europe as well. Academics are great, but these are the things that allow USF to stand above other schools.

Good academics here

I really appreciate the courses I have taken during the past 2 semesters at USF. The professors know what they're talking about, and they are inspirational because they seem to know everything about their subjects! It's easy to contact professors because classes are small and you can email them anytime, and some professors respond at the most surprising times (like in the AM). I've had great experiences with professors here even though I'm the type of student to enter the classroom, sit through the whole time, and just leave asap. I'm still pleased with the professors because even though I'm hard to get to know as a student, they have such a good, positive attitude towards their work (every single professor I've had was that way). I love what I'm learning in classes, and although first semester it was difficult to register for courses (a couple of the classes I wanted were full), I was still able to find substitute courses that worked out just fine. Registering for fall courses was worry-free, even though I had expected a headache from it! :) Things worked out great, and I am so happy to be here.

Great School for Nursing

I came to USF because of its reputable undergraduate program. We get tons of hands-on experience both in the lab and on clinical sites at various hospitals in and around the city as well as a background in the ethical principles that go along with becoming a nurse. Graduating in four years with a BSN and being able to work right afterwords is awesome.
