Best Time to Look for a Place

There are always people moving in and out of the apartments near campus, and new complexes are being built each year. The best time to look is one or two months before attending classes at USF.

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students who aren't interested in an endless stream of on-campus activities have the choice to live off campus. The area surrounding USF is home to dozens of apartment complexes, and most of them are built especially for students. The apartments are reasonably priced, and many of the complexes near USF have amenities that are included in the initial costs. Others have similar services, but add charges onto the bill at the end of each month. Most complexes near campus have swimming pools, exercise facilities, high-speed Internet access, volleyball and tennis courts, barbeque grills, and movie theaters. The complexes that are closest to campus have shuttles for USF students, which definitely beats having to pay more than $100 for a parking permit.

The housing situation away from campus is very much a nice change of pace from that of campus. The pricing is very affordable compared to the rate the school charges students to stay on the grounds. If you live in apartments that are only for students, then be ready for the place to get a little wild on the weekends.

This place is pretty below average. The one thing going for it is that it's very close to campus.. I walk to class everyday and it takes like 10 minutes. The rent is pretty expensive though, and the actual apartments are kinda cheap, as in like, cheap appliances and furniture. I guess you could say it's safe, but idk anymore, somebody got shot on the floor above me the other day. There's a couple pools, but there's no volleyball or basketball courts, so that sucks. Also, every weekend there will ALWAYS be at least 2 new piles of vomit somewhere around the building. Honestly, I would look elsewhere, there's way better places for the money.
