S-O-U-T-H F-L-O-R-I-D-A! South Florida! South Florida! Goooooo Bulls!!

We have a summer program called Student Support Services that allows you to have your first semester in college for free with three classes and your meal plan and housing free as well. Myself and about 30 other students were chosen for this and it became one of the best summers of my life. We all lived on the best dormitory on campus on the same floor and had the same classes, so we built strong friendships and became a little family here on campus. Also, if you're not Greek affiliated you won't feel left out.

The University of South Florida is unique because there are a lot of health-related institutions located on campus. There is a Moffit Cancer Center, an eye institute, an alzhiemer's institution, a physical therapy facility, and Shriner's Children Hospital. All of these facilities offer numerous volunteer, and research opportunities and potentials for students that attend the university. It shows that the university is well balanced and provides a broad spectrum of educational opportunites and services for it's students and faculty members.

University of South Florida has a five year master program for a degree in architecture, which is what I am studying. The five year master puts the student that graduate in architecture an advantage over those who graduate with a bachelors because it puts them out into the work force with a master in Architecture already so they don’t have to go back to school to get there masters. The school of architecture is continuously growing and making them more competitive schools in Florida for this specific degree.

Everyone's focused on their education and the school really cares about the students.

The environment is so nurturing. You can find a club for almost anything. They dont leave you hanging and they support you no matter what. Its a beautfiful support system that anyone needs to flourish away from home.

USF ranks as a national leader in online education also USF was named one of the top 100 Best Values in Public Colleges by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance for 2014. Its a school that helps choregragh your future and your success can always thank the Univeristy of South Florida .

I did not consider any other school. I would say that my school have a lot of hands on projects.

The University of South Florida has a very good selection of extracurriculars. Involvement in student organizations is one of the best ways to further one's education, because it places a person in a situation where they are able to learn from other like-minded people. While helping others in their college selection, I have personally looked through the listed student organizations of other universities, and none have come close to the diversity in organizations of this campus.

It is extremely diverse. My ability to travel domestically and internationally is extremely limited, so it was nice being able to meet a lot of students from around the wold and learning about their cultures. In addition, there was never a time where I felt out of place when attending the events of multicultural organizations. I would always be welcomed into the Islamic Student Association, just as I would in Club Creole (Haitian organization). There was mutual respect and unity within the student population.

The University of South Florida is unique because it is an accreditied four year university that is nationally known with lower tuition than that of other nationally known universities such as the University of Florida or Florida State.

The campus is very diverse.

USF is very diverse ethnically, in the likes/wants of students, and many other ways. It really helps students become more culturally competent and it is refreshing to learn new things outside of the classroom through the experiences offered. The diversity on campus is embraced by the students and there are events and organizations for everyone. There is a place for everyone, and I love that.

I really loved the fact that the community at the University of South Florida feels like a family. People are friendly and genuinely care about you. The campus is beautiful and the environment is great. The professors care and want you to succeed. The atmosphere at USF is amazing and I feel lucky to be a part of it.

I believe that my school is unique in the way that teachers interact and educate the students in a small classroom environment and one on one if needed.

I love the unity and pride at the school. It feels good knowing you are attending a school that all students are proud of. USF has their main campus and three other campus's in the surrounding area. I also enjoy the smaller classroom sizes, I feel I get more one-on-one interaction with my professors. I like that the school isn't labeled as the party school, instead it is well-known for their research. The school is also located in an area where everything is around you. I couldn't have chosen a better school for myself.

We have a huge bull fountain.

Our school is one of the most diverse communities. There are all kinds of people that attend our University, people have their differences but there's something about being a "BULL" that brings us all together. Except for the athletes. That's a social hierarchy disaster. UGH!

The best thing about the University of South Florida is that they actually care about their students :) Our student government is huge on campus which means that we control a lot that happens on campus. If we want something, we ask for it, and we usually get it! USF students practice BULL PRIDE, you can't help feeling it when you step on campus! When you first see USF trust me it's going to seem huge but after a week of two it feels like home. I tend to spend most of my time in our beautiful Marshall Student Center, this building is amazing and oh so convenient! Tampa is definitely not a college town there is so much more too it, you can never get bored. We have beaches, theme parks, ect... if your ever do get tired Orlando is about an hour away :)

Compared to other schools I considered, the University of Florida has a larger campus with many more opportunties. They have used all the space they could to provide their students with the best college experience available. Because they have been considered a research school, multiple research opportunities are provided for current and prospective medical students. In addition, a wide variety of clubs are supoorted for every interest a person could possibly have, from music to cultural-based and even professional based. Equally important, transportation is provided in all parts of the campus as well as surrounding malls and amusement parks.
