While there are so many opportunities to make friends on campus, you need to push yourself to meet new people with shared interests.

If I had to say, the worst thing about the school was the parking situation. Often times it took ten to thirty minutes to find a student parking spot.

Parking can be one of the biggest problems with USF, I guess overall if parking is the worst thing about the campus it really cant be to bad. There are alot of Students who do attend the University, which is good because it means that there are alot of intelligent indivudals who are bouncing ideas back and forth off each other. But it also means that you might have to park your a little furthure then you probably would want to.

The worst thing about the school would be the dining halls. They offer very bland food, although it is very convienent, the food is not the best. This is not a big issue though, being as they also have a food court with outside restraunts. There are also many fast food places and grocery stores within walking distance and the school offers free busing to the store, so while the food may be a downside, there are many alternatives that are available.

Technology on campus tends to be unreliable. I recently had to stop taking an online test in the Smart Lab because the computer system crashed. Wifi is always slow and goes down at peak times. Registering for classes is annoying and can be buggy.

I do not have a problem with my shool.

The professors spend so much time working on their own research that teaching becomes second rate. It's expected that all professors will be doing research, also. I have spent a lot of time teaching myself material for classes that I have paid a lot of money to attend.

The worse thing I consider about my university is the surrounding area in which it resides. The neighborhoods around USF aren't very nice, and there are a lot of unwanted persons that can get into the university and cause harm. The university has its own police but theres only so much they can do and sometimes they get there and something has already happened. The university provides good safety measures but knowing that you shouldn't walk around campus at night because of rapes and assualts is something I don't like about USF.

Location; our school is situatied in a poor area.

The worst thing about school to is the cost of school. I would love to just worry about my education and not have to worry financially.

I am in an excellerated program so there is alot of coursework involved, so there is not much time for a social life.

I hate the inaccesibilities that come along with it. The bus system here is not very efficient and the surrounding area is slum-ish.

How high monthly rent is. Its absolutely ridiculous considering how small most of the rooms are.

Probably the size of the campus. Sometimes it could take a lot longer to get to class than originally thought. Also, it is quite easy to get lost around the campus as well.

i would consider the parking the worst thing about the school. i have to come about two hours early to get parking. if you get there late its practically impossible to get a spot.

I don't live on campus so I'm not really familiar with campus life outside of the classroom, but if I had to pick something it would have to be the heat. South Florida is such a large campus and a lot of the buildings are spaced far apart so walking to class can be extremely brutal at times. Also parking on campus is a huge hassle. It would definitely of been smarter to live in a dorm for my first year.

The worst thing about USF is parking on campus. There are just not enough spots for all the students and visitors to park on a daily basis. Many students end up being late to class because they cannot find parking. Also, the parking enforcers are very strict on writing tickets even if the meter is only over by a few minutes.

I believe that there are too many students in each class. Many of my classes had over 300 students, which I do not believe is conducive for effective learning. There is not enough one-on-one time with the professors. I felt like I got lost in the crowd at times.

Some faculty members. A good portion of instructors I've had were terrible and my advisor practically rushed me out of his office.
