University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

Very diverse group at USF. Most students are friendly and welcoming to each other. There are plenty of places for interaction such as Bull Market, which is held every Wednesday and other outreach activities. Many places on campus exclusively hire students so it is easy to get to know many people.

My classmates are very diverse and come from all walks of life.

I would describe my classmates as a supportive group of people who keep each other's well being in mind.

The students at this school are mainly immature. If you are coming from a strict background with no freedom then I'm sure you'll find it okay here. However, if you are used to a fun environment with normal, nonjudgmental, mature people, then this is not for you. The students consist of immature boys who are only concerned with smoking or hooking up with girls who are out of their league, and girls who black out every opportunity they get and act like complete desperate, needy, whiny immature kids.

My classmates are hard-working, focused students who enjoy going above and beyond the expectations of teachers and peers to get the most out of their education, while maintaining a great social life along with a healthy and active lifestyle. My classmates are welcoming to new students and are never shy to give a hand to someone who is lost or in need of assistance, it is very easy to make life-long, loyal, friendships.

The people that I am privileged to interact with on a weekly basis are an intelligent, hard working, and humble group, who have impacted me greatly and will continue to impact me as I continue growing and learning throughout these next few years.

I have met some really great people at the University of South Florida. It's been easy to form study groups and have people to rely on for trickier parts of some courses. I've really enjoyed my social life at school thus far!

I would describe my classmates as determined, hardworking, helpful young adults, who are focused on having a career once they graduate college and not a job.

USF is such a diverse university that I can't place a group of them into one specific category. The majority if the people I come across are very pleasant and amiable, I have made many friends and I can barely rmemeber any unpleasant encounters.

Usually very friendly and helpful.

My classmates and I attend USF for a purpose and we all respect and help each other succeed.

The school environment is very laid back. There are groups for everyone. There are multicultural organizations, organizations that cater to your interest and future goals, and there are recreational organizations like the juggling club or ultimate frisbee. There's something for everyone you just need to go and look for it.

My classmates are friendly but also driven because they want their education; they want to be at USF and their motivation spurs you to work harder for success as well.

My classmates contribute through thoughtful ideas, collaborative work, and through attentiveness.

The students at my school are very unique. You find people from every corner of the earth here. I don't think any type of students feel out of place because everyone has a spot here. In the beginning of the semester, everyone thinks they have to dress up but now we dress comfortably. Normally I just wear gym shorts and a shirt and sometimes I will get more dressed up. Most students are from Florida however. I am an out of state student, however there are still many students from out of state and even over seas.

The big stereotype of the students at my school is that we are all transfers from community colleges or commuters. Though many students at USF do indeed transfer from other schools, a large number of us came straight from high school, including me. As far as people commuting, I have met maybe four people in the entire two years that I've attended USF who still lived at home.

Students are diverse. We have pretty much every group on-campus. I think anyone would find a place to belong if they try. Most students wear casual clothes to class - nothing special. Different types of students interact in places where they don't feel like a minority. In organizations dominated by one group - different students tend to avoid those groups. The four tables in a dining hall would have a mix of guys and girls from many different cultures. People are open-minded here. Most students at USF are from Tampa Bay or nearby Sarasota and Orlando. The financial background is mostly the middle-class. Students are not too aware politically. Although Hillsborough County is a left-dominated county, many students on-campus lean to the right - although the left is growing every year. Students do talk about how much they will earn someday - especially medical students.

USF is super diverse! You get to interact with students from every religion, culture, and region of the world! Because of this great diversity, you grow more tolerant in general, because you are able to interact with that which you misunderstood before, or never even paid attention to.

This is a tough question to go into detail with. So I'll put it this way: Our school is diverse. There are students from just about every background and lifestyle. I love that our campus has the ability to support and nurture such a community.
