University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

One major plus for the university is its diversity. There are plenty of groups represented on campus, and numerous student clubs and organizations tailored for anybody who needs to find their niche. I think most students tend to wear name-brand stuff. I don't think the mass of the student body is political minded- there is great apathy there. And they don't talk about how much they'll earn one day. I don't think the mass of students are forward-thinking.

There are a vast number of religious and multi-cultural groups on campus. USF also has multi-cultural sororities and fraternities. USF students also have the opportunity to apply for Honor's College. Some departments offer honors programs for specific majors. For example, the College of Arts and Sciences offeres an Honors Program for Communication Majors. It is very difficult to feel out of place at USF. There is always so much to do, and there is a common place on campus to get to know people and get involved. Most students dress casually to class. It's warm here all year so we wear a lot of shorts and t-shirts. Winter gear is definitely not necessary. It seems as though most students come from middle-class families. Though I have to say from my experience, this school is accepting of people from all racial, ethnic, and financial backgrounds. Students are very politically active on campus. We have a student newspaper that prints daily. It covers local and world issues. There are also free copies of the TBT (Tampa Bay Times) on campus. This newspaper is geared for the younger crowd. There are a lot of articles in it about world issues. There is no specific political affiliation at USF. There are students that are Democrats, Republicans, and neither.
