Do Not Bring a Car to Campus
In all honesty, you will need a car, UT is relatively isolated from the rest of Tampa. I understand that the university advertises that it is downtown, which it is, but downtown Tampa is essentially just a business district and there is not much to do. However, if you bring a car you are likely to have a difficult time finding parking. It is just more convenient is you use taxi services or ask a friend for a ride.
