BIANCA - 07/16/2019

The university provides 100 percent online degree for my major, so I am able to do all my schooling online, while I work and provide financial stability for my brother whom has autism and epilepsy. Overall, I am very pleased with the opportunities that the university provides me.

Summer - 01/19/2019

University of South Florida is a good college to attend for students who are local to the Tampa bay area or near it. One thing I love about the college is the activities they have for students. I give it a 10 out of 10. On the other hand, the campus is small so getting the reaources you need could be quite difficult at times for students.

Amanda - 12/13/2018

The University of South Florida is an amazing school. There is a Cafe and a Gaming area, as well as a free on-site gym for students. The staff are very involved, caring, and helpful. They truly want to see you excel and succeed! The campus is right near the campus bookstore, which makes finding well-priced books easy! The school also has very well-priced education and professionals that are able to assist you in anything that one might acquire. The class sizes also vary from about 15-25, which makes connecting with ones professor much more accessible.

Lauren - 11/07/2017

I like the academics at USF - the professors have been awesome! I really wish there was more around the college for food and restaurants. I also think the college would do awesome if they had more living areas. I live with my parents and just go to school here because housing in the area is so expensive, it pushes out college age students. I'd love to have my own place near campus!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back in time and speak to myself as a high schooler, I would start off by saying, it gets better. Maybe not easier, but better. The worries become fewer. Studying is more important than going out with friends. Sometimes it's easier said than done, however, later on, it will all be worth it. I would tell myself not to be afraid to give my all. If something doesn't work out, keep pushing and always have a plan B. Whatever happens, DO NOT GIVE UP; failure is not an option.

  6. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    My school in a way that differs from many others. They offer distance learning opportunities that make it possible for people such as myself to earn a different degree. As a career changer, it would not be possible for me to do so without the programs that my school offers. They definitely consider the fact that all college students do not come from traditional backgrounds, nor are they always straight out of high school.

  8. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    A well-rounded individual who likes small classes, is a potential business, science, or education major, is very friendly, and plans on working hard to get the best experience out of college. We don't have our own dorms yet so you have to work harder for a social life, but it all pays out because you find actual friends instead of people you're stuck living with and have to deal with no matter what.

  9. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    There aren't a lot of study places on campus. Sure there are plenty of places to sit but not actual study areas. We share a library with New College but it's not on our campus. It's on theirs, so if I have an hour and a half between classes I either having to leave campus to study or just sit in some chair in a random hallyway and attempt to do work or just kill time.
