University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

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.
