The University of Tampa Top Questions

nothing, i actually did my research on this school before applying here. i decided to come here because they offer a good criminolgy program.

I don't feel I would change anything I have experienced. I believe that everything that I have learned here and all the goals I have set may have not happened if I had been different. I would have still been a political science major most likely. Now I am a Psychology and Advertising double major and I am happy with it. I love my expirience at Tampa with the knowledge I had, or lacked, coming in.

I wish i would have known to apply earlier, I applied late and got the worst freshmen dormitory it has community showers. I wish i would have known that this school does not have a football team and also doesnt allow frat housing on campus.

Although, I am very happy and pleased to be a student at this school, I wish I would have known more information about the financial aid available to me. As a part time student when starting at this school, there was not much information given to me as far as financial aid. There was also not much help to receive because I was a part time student so if there was more knowledge prior to starting school, my financial situation would have been better.

Don't be afraid to put yourself out there. If you see yourself wanting to be friends with someone, go for it. Just because this is a private school it doesn't mean you're the only one having to feel like you're less fortunate/richer than the other students who go here. They're also going through the same struggle as you.

Before attending the University of Tampa I wish I knew about saltmoney.org. I wish I had known of all the scholarship opportunities that were available to me, because even though I work full time I will not be able to afford University of Tampa next year along with an apartment and car. I'm glad I found out about the website through campus though because I'm trying to do everything I can to stay on this campus, and keep my campus organization.

Tampa isn't as large as you think

The importants of scholarships and time management. Just know that going to college is a big step forward but just because you took that step doesnt make success. What makes success is committment.

I wish I would've known about how commuting to UT is terrible just because of the location traffic is constantly backed up... It's terrible. If you're walking or live on campus, it's perfect.

I wish I had known that sometimes available classes are limited. As an economics major, I can only take one economics class this semester because there are no other classes offered for my major as a sophomore during that semester.
