University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

The advising and financial aid department. This is because they are incapable of answering questions and offering any actual guidance.

I think the worst thing about my school is that they make you spend so much money for on campus housing when they make you live on campus your first year. Also, the rooms we stay in aren't even nice enough to charge that much money. They just want all the money they can get. Yes, living on campus is convenient, but the price definately isn't.

The high fees they have on the meal plan and the quality and available choices of the dorms. I also dislike the fact that we are still required to live on campus for the 2nd semester (and thus, paying more exuberant fees).

Transportation. The campus is huge and it takes a good amount of time to walk to class. There are buses that drive around school but it takes about twenty minnutes for the bus to come to your stop and sometimes the bus does not go in the direction you need it to.

The worst thing that I can think of is, online programs. Unfortunately, the universty does not offer online programs. Many women and men work full-time. By the time most of us end our work day, it usually is late or feeling to tire. Online course provides the flexibility of participating 10-15 hours a week during course work. Also, there are no specific days of the week to attend class. Student have access anytime of the day to do their assignments. I am certain in the near future USF, will add online programs to the school curriculum.

Sarasota Campus - Often overlooked. Like in this survey, USF-Sarasota was not an available option, and so I had to select USF-Tampa.

The worst part of the school would have to be recieving grants from the school. The school offers alot of scholarship and grant opportunities but it's very hard to recieve them. The financial aid office makes you go through so much and request you keep submitting papers just so you can recieve the little money they give you to pay off for school.

Possibly the type of food that is served in the cafeteria and around campus. College students are so busy that fast food helps make their lives somewhat easier but then again healthier choices in areas close to schools would also make it easier for students to get healthy fast food. Although there are very good food choices on and around the University of South Florida, there could always be more.

The worst thing about my school is that it does not provide reasonable tools for students on campus to easily recycle. There should be a recycling bin next to nearly every trash can, not just a few spread randomly throughout the campus.

Not much school spirit, because the sports teams were not bringing in a lot of championships. Now they are beginning to compete stronger.

To date, there is nothing that I do not like about my school. My classes, my fellow students, my dorm, everything is making my college experience one I will always remember and be glad i had.

The worst thing about my school would be the fact that some dorms are further away from certain buildings. So in this case you would have to take the bus instead of walking. Also the officers on campus can be a bit tideous and are willing to give anyone who isn't a great car parker a ticket. Other than that the great diversity of this school and the classes, professors, students, and staff is all great!

What I consider to be the worst thing about my school is the lack of certain electives which would be imperative to certain majors. For example, a criminology major may have to stay in school for a longer period than they need to because a certain prerequisite or elective they need isn't availabe, thus having them to postpone their graduation till the semester the class is available.

The worse thing about USF is not all of classes offered are not all accessible on-line. I am a working professional and some of my classes are only offered on certain days and in the morning. Since I am not able to leave work, I have been only able to attend night classes.

Parking is terrible, the school is growing too large to accomodate.

When I do find the worst thing about my school, I'll let you know... Until then, USF is one of the best schools in the state of Florida!

The apathy that some students show toward thier educational studies. We are among some of the luckiest generations of young adults this country has ever seen and they are complacient toward the oppurtunity that they have. I try my hardest to never take for granted the chance to pursue my dream of a higher education and to many of my peers do not show that same level of dedication. I wish I could see more willingness to embrace the truly amazing oppurtunity they have been granted.

What i consider to be the worst thing about my school is that it takes approximately ten minutes to get to where you need to be on campus. I was not expecting to walk so much in my life, so wear some comfy shoes. The campus is very beautiful and is wonderful to walk around, but whn ur late to class and its raining, you kind of wish you had a golf cart.

The worst thing about my school is the fact that requests for transcripts and meeting with your advisor takes forever since USF is a big university. USF serves more than 39,000 students and offers 228 degree programs at the undergraduate, graduate, specialist and doctoral levels, including the doctor of medicine, through its 11 colleges. So if you decide to meet with your advisor out of the blue good luck. You have to plan weeks ahead.

I do not like the cost of housing on campus and the limited spacing. For the amount students have to pay we should have better halls. The amount of financial aid students receive should also increase.
