The University of Tampa Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about The University of Tampa? Why?

Nicole

I think the worst thing i consider about my school would be that it doesnt do or create as much events as it used to when i first came. now, there is barely something going on campus.

Madison

The students who do not take their education seriously because they are so spoiled

Alexis

The worst thing about my school would be the ability to get scholarships from the school. You may obtain one scholarship once you begin your freshman year but if you were to lose that scholarship, getting it back once you fulfill the requirements again are extremely difficult.

Jasmine

The worst thing about University of Tampa is that it lacks a bit of school spirit due to the fact that it doesn't have a football team.

Andrea

I love my school and everything about it. It is in a beautiful location with access to everything you need from food to shopping areas. The only challege I have is getting used to this weather and temperature here.

Angela

The worst thing would have to be that the Wi-fi password has to be reset every 90 days and within the four years that I will be attending here, that is a lot of passwords I need to remember.

Erin

The worst thing about the University of Tampa is the lack of school spirit. Since we do not have a football team, it is hard to get a large crowd to come out to support the sports teams. I feel that it would bring students closer together and improve our athletic program as a whole if there was more effort put into the sporting events in attempt to increase the crowd diversity at games.

David

The thing that I consider the worst about my school is that its too small. The University of Tampa is a really small school, though its not always a bad thing, some times i just wish it was a bit bigger and think they should expand it more. I feel that the more they expand it, the more things that can be done in the sense of activities and bigger facilities like for example, a bigger gym to workout in.

Margret

The price. Because it's very expensive, but you do get what you pay for... It's just extremely hard to pay for it.

Isabella

The worst thing about the University of Tampa is the baccalaureate experience. I am an economics major and I am required to take a lot of classes unrelated to my major like chemistry and biology.

Louis

I can walk from one side of campus to the other in five minutes; the worst thing about The University of Tampa is its size. When you go to college you want the college experience and because UT is so small, sometimes it feels like I am missing out. But though it being so small can be a bad thing, it’s also great because of the intimate class sizes. Because of these classroom sizes, I have gained stronger connections with my classmates, as well as professors, making a comfortable learning environment. This has resulted in a better education.

Lawrence

being a transfer student and not having a high enough gpa to receive a scholarship for my grades and the school not helping in any other way. there is no other financial aid and I am having a hard time trying to pay for my education. My family is struggling and we would like some assistance but are finding that receiving help is difficult.

Brianna

The good thing about this question is that, for the University of Tampa, this one is really hard to find an answer for. If there is one thing that I could complain about for my school is the lack of on-campus jobs. There are a lot of job opportunities, but they are mainly for work-study qualified students. If you don't mind though, there are hundreds of part-time job opportunities in the city of Tampa that is literally steps outside of campus.

Justin

The adjunct professors. Yes they mean well but they are not always there if you need to ask a question.

Tatyana

The worst thing about my school is all of the partying that goes on. It seems like all of the students party everyday rather than focusing on school. It also seems like that is only thing to do in tampa. I think it is important to have fun but not party every night. Going to the clubs is expensive so i think there needs to be some other activity for us students to do and have fun.

Timothy

The cost of the credits. They are high and it is understandable, but for someone like me, I cannot get PELL Grants or FINANCIAL AID because my parents earn a decent income. To me that does not always seem fair as we are an average middle class family and my older brother also goes to college so funds are tight. I understand I could have gone to a public university but this school provides everything I need for my education in a double major of biology and marine science.

Paige

Well living on campus your first year with random people kind of sucks, but thats at all colleges. Well its really small, so we don't have a ton of places to eat.

Romina

The parking is the worst, spaces are hardly ever available. It also takes at least 15 minutes to walk from your car to class.

Kelsey

The worst thing about our school is that athletes do not have separate privileges. At most schools, athletes are allowed to register for classes before everyone else becasue of practice schedules and games. They should have that at our school.

Chelsea

The worst thing about my school is the unorganization of the admission and financial aid offices. In the past, they have failed to get documents and notices to me on time or at all. The admissions office neglects to include students in any academic planning and notifications. The financial aid office has misplaced some of my records and is often difficult and hard to reach.
