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.
