Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Most students sincerely enjoy USF. Students can look forward to meeting many people from diverse backgrounds, and the teachers are strong role models for students. While classes are sometimes stressful and unbearable, the lessons taught outside of school are invaluable. Sometimes classes can be difficult, but the school offers students numerous ways to relieve their anxieties and stress. With the various top-notch facilities on campus, nighttime activities, dining out, or just laying around in the sun, USF has much more to offer than rock-solid academics. Even shy students who find venturing to a new school hard on them grow fond of USF quickly.

Of course, college is what you make of it. Students who spend their time in their dorm rooms miss out on opportunities to make friends and grow as individuals. Those who get involved in student activities seem to enjoy their college experience much more than those who choose not to get involved. That’s why it is important to take advantage of the opportunities that USF presents to its students. Overall, most students who come to USF enjoy their time there, even if the University was not their first choice of schools.

USF 100%

I LOVE USF in Tampa! Never a dull night ;). The nightlife is amazing, places are always raging. Our school has the best mix of people. Most are very chill and laid back. It is a great overall atmosphere is amazing. I would not want to be at any other school. Tons of people are always visiting because they know our school is superior and always have an awesome time.

USF Overall

I love USF because it is constantly growing and changing. It is unique because it is a fairly young university and the student body has the opportunity to start traditions and change the school history. There is such a sense of school pride and you always see people wearing green and gold. Go Bulls!

Love It Here

I love the fact that this school is not as competitive as some other universities are. There's some pressure, but not so much that you're worried about your future at the school.
