University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

Any person should attend the University of South Florida. That person should just realize all the responsibilities that they have to pursue. If a person has very low expectations of themselves and is not too responsible, then I would not advise them to attend any college. When students like me go to college, it is safe to say that they get stranded out there and have to figure a way out. Of those stranded, if one has no enthusiasm then they will possibly flunk out of college. Responsibility plays a huge role in the life of a college student.

The type of person who should attend this school is someone who is self motivated. When coming here I did not realize how different it was from my high school. Everything in high school is handed to you on a silver platter and when you get to USF you are on your own. You need to go to class and worry about your own assignments and when they are due because the teachers are not there to do it for you. I know many people who did great in high school but are not doing so good now.

Well my school was actually not on the list! I attend Southwest Florida College. It is a private school, and they have a lot to offer. I enjoy going to school there. I would recommend for any student to attend this school because the faculty there is extremely friendly, and helpful. The classrooms are not overloaded so you can get the most out of your education!

People who dislike cold weather, don't mind commuting to a university in a decently sized city, and people who can't afford a lot for their tuition, but still want a degree that's worth something.

I believe those who need night classes should attend the Sarasota-Manatee campus. I am currently enrolled here for Spring 2010 and found this was actually more of an inconvenience due to the fact that I am a waitress and work predominantly at night. The campus here is also DEAD! No one is very friendly but that's Sarasota for you. So for the social scene of college, I would definately recommend Tampa campus over Sarasota's.

Goal Driven

This school really is for anyone. I think because of the location it's great for more of the artistic liberal students but professors and other students are very open and fun.

An outgoing, active person who is excited and ambitious about his/her future. A person not afraid to get involved and get things going, to get his/her hands dirty if it means getting what he/she wants. A person who understands that there is no such thing as an easy road and that sometimes you have to give a little more than you get. Not an optimist or a pessimist but a realist, a person who understands the effects of his/her actions and is willing to take responsibility for his/her life and his/her education.

A person who has no other choice.

Anyone who is or wants to learn to be self-motivated. He/she should not be closed to diverse experiences and should take opportunities and academic experiences seriously.
