University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

Someone who is not comfortable with large crowds or have difficulty living on their own (or at least far from their parent/guardian). Campus during the school week is always packed with people running to class, taking tours, or setting up for events. The student centers are almost never empty with students working or projects or just hanging out. Additionally, a lot of the resources on campus and off require one to take initiative to further themselves, you can't have any one holding your hand living in the city.

If you don't like walking you should not come here. The campus is very large and you will have classes that are a 10+minute walk everyday. If you don't understand accents or struggle with them don't come here. The student body is very diverse as well as the professors and some can be hard to understand but they are there for a reason and they aremore than qualified to teach you what you need. If you are afraid of squirrels don't come here. Campus is flooded with them and they will climb on you.

Every kind of person should attend this school because its so diverse and it meets the needs of everyone. If you are quiet they have places for you, if you are a party person they have so many campus parties for you, if you are from a different country they have meet and greets with other people from the same country.

The kind of person who shouldnt attend this school is someone who is going to college to join greek life and party their life away. While greek life is popular at USF, the men and women of the greek organizations on campus are more centered around philanthropic work and making a difference than throwing giant parties everynight. USF is definately not a school for someone who just wants to party.

Those looking for an all-inclusive on campus experience; USF still have a commuter campus feel to it

A person that is not motivated to learn and stay focused.

Someone who is lazy and thinks that they can skate through. You will actually have to work and study in order to pass.

The University of South Florida is a very diverse school with a wide array of different races and religions. Many would be attracted to the diversity alone in the University, however, like many universities it is not for everyone. USF is a very large school with record enrollment nearly every year. Many of the classroms are auditoriums and lecture halls. An incoming student should not expect small class sizes and personalized attention from the professor. A student must work to grab the professors attention by either attending the office hours or sitting in the front row.

Anyone not willing to be on an active, lively campus on a daily basis.

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is, someone who doesn't want to get involved. This school has so much spirit all around campus, and has over 600 clubs to join.

I wouldn't say that I DON'T recommend this school for the arts, but I would strongly reccomend an actual art school if you are serious about your career in the arts (as in you are looking for the notoriety of the name of the school you graduate from with an art degree).

Honestly, I think this school fits just about everybody. They have clubs and fun things to do that fit anything anyone could ever imagine doing. This school is extremely large though, holding about 40,000 students, so if you are someone who likes to be in smaller more intimate places, this school is probably not for you.

A person who keeps to themselves or a person who does not enjoy talking to people; I found that most people who went to USF were highly outgoing.

Anyone who is lazy and does not like to get their feet a little wet should not dive into this school because it is alot of money to attend this school.

Someone that doesnt like/fit in on big campuses or if they dont like the "big" university college feel.

N/A

One who acquires negative qualities such as pessimism, or lacks determination should not attend USF. USF has proper values and promotes school pride as well as earning outstanding grades. Professors at USF understand certain circumstances as long as you maintain levels of respect towards them as well as your peers.

USF is primarily a commuter school. Our roads and buildings were built to accomdate students living elsewhere and then dorms were added in the back end of the school and later a football team was created. If an individual is looking for school pride and to enjoy college by attending all sorts of functions and parties then I do not reccommend USF. USF is located in the middle of Tampa away from everything except Busch Gardens. Also, if an individual is looking to connect with fellow students for support then USF is not for them.

anyone, there is something for everyone in this school, especially off campus activites.

People who are not focused and do not have any goals
