University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

USF is unique because we have a large variety of different ethnicities on campus that most universities do not have.

USF is the largest commuter school in Florida.

It is close to the beach, airport, sports teams, cities and country. It is well balanced with the avalaibility of social and academic activities

It was close gto home and had a great diversity of students.

Its not solely a college town, still located in the city/urban environment but still gives the college feel and experience.

Our brand new Marshall Student Center just opened and is full of resources for students.

I go to the USF St. Petersburg campus (in St. Petersburg, FL) & it's right on the water overlooking Tampa Bay & beautiful! They had the journalism program I was looking for.

It is not very unique. Very typical university.

While some may find USF's size intimidating, I think it has allowed for a greater variety of classes, majors, and extracurricular activities to be offered. I chose to attend USF because of those things but also, where else can you get to the beach, cultural venues, and Disney World in under an hour?

The quality of the program I am in, and overall costs, particularly given its proximity to my home.

The University of South Florida is a very unique school. It is located in the heart of Tampa, a very large city, yet when you are on campus, you don't feel like you are in a big city. I love the fact that I felt safe on campus and was able to get to busy city areas in a heartbeat. USF is also super close to beaches (which I love) and allows you to experience the beach as well as the big city life too. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants a fun, memorable college experience.

I chose USF based on its location. I really liked the city of Tampa, and the area surrounding USF.

Nothing

I believe that our campus pushes students to network. I think that this is wonderful because it makes the students get involved and make new friends.

The fact that it very easy to become accustomed too. Its not too big, and not too small. Everything is only a few minutes away; such as the mall, gas station, grocery store, etc.

There are many off-campus apartments that are walking distance from school and there is a lot of school pride!

The strong drive and desire to volunteer and give back to the Tampa Bay community.

It has a ubran atmosphere

This University has a good career center in which you can drop off a resume and the people that run the center will distribute your resume to comanies that you qualify for. You could be sitting around one day and recieve a call from a company looking to interview you for a position, which is always a nice phone call. I really enjoy the environment. Compared to boston, where I used to live, the air smells fresh and the scenery is beautiful. I enjoy going to campus and staying there to do things that I could otherwise do at home.

The Marshall Center aka the Student Union is very unique. It is brand new, made of glass, and very state-of-the-art. Also, we have our own Botanical Gardens and many buildings dedicated to research. We have a plaza dedicated to Martin Luther King with a statue of his head with two walkways covered with vines and beautiful flowers in the middle of campus. Also, the Engineering, Education, and health fields are very renowned at USF, as well as the athletic department.

The diversity of the student and faculity on campus.

The students are friendly, warm, and welcoming. No one's ever left out or treated like a stranger.

USF is unique compared to other schools becasue of the research program.

diversity

Well, the USF Bulls are all proud to be USF Bulls. Everyone here for the most part is nice and doesn't mind having a little conversation with you before class or even helping on some homework that is due that day(I actually just helped a girl this morning with Stat 1 hw, lol). That is probably one of my favorite things about this place, the people. Everyone is diverse, coming from all around, all different backgrounds, yet we all still are able to make friends, learn form one another, and become wiser through one anothers experiences.

My school is unique because the students all come together with school spirit and are a united front.

We have two campuses, both gorgeous. There is a larger or smaller campus, depending on what you like. The school is very friendly, not groupy.

Everyone that is apart of the University is really involved and ready to help out anyone in need just as long as you're a bull. Everyone is committed and there is just a real sense of family in the air always. most other schools were very segregated, but here we are all thought of as equal. thats what i liked about it.

My final project for Broadcast News, a mass communications course at USF.

The NITE organization of the University of South Florida and their involvement with the Take Back the Night.

it is well diverse and allows people from different faces of the world to converse with each other. provides a good and safe enviornment for studies as well as social activities. vert out going and interactive.

The location is very unique and makes it easier to access extra curricular activities.

One thing I would like, is more parking on campus. Also more places to hangout in between classes, I find myself leaving campus to hangout at Panera Bread right across the street. It would be nice to have places like that on campus.

ALPHA KAPPA PSI sent me :)

USF is great, so far. I don't think I have any complaints. EXCEPT.... Parking. It is absolutely horrible, despicable, and truly torturous. Let me put it this way, let's say all my classes are great and I love all my teachers, we'll what good will that do if I can't get in class on time because of the whole "parking your class for at least 10 minutes" it really is that bad. But like I said, that is the only thing that I do not like about USF. Nothing is perfect, and I'm pretty sure that other universities have a flaw. Parking Services is the one for USF.

You pretty much covered it all...

Best student organization on campus: ALpha Kappa Psi!!!!!!!!!!

USF ain't perfect. But it does have some pretty great stuff once you realize we are in Tampa and not UCF.

USF is a good school, but there are room for improvement. For one extended library hours and parking.

The school is not heading in the direction it needs to be. This school is more of a business than a institution of higher learning. And the outlook is dismal because I don't think the school's administration is going to have a paradigm shift anytime soon.

USF is building a brand new student union. This is really exciting for us because they're putting in more restaurants and a great game room. There will also be a broadcasting center for the on-campus radio programs to air in a bigger space. The rec center is also great because they have an open basketball court to shoot hoops. They also have a moving rock wall for a great cardio workout. The equiptment is new, and the staff in the rec room will help introduce you to a workout program or assist you in setting up machines.
