University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

The most frustrating thing for me about my school for me would definitely be driving to campus and trying to find a parking space. The University of South Florida is located in the city of Tampa, so naturally traffic on and around campus is on most days horrendous. Having to navigate through rush hour on its own is a challenge, now add construction projects and overcrowded parking garages and making it to class in a timely manner becomes a daunting task. Even leaving extra early sometimes isn't enough because the parking situation is unpredictable at best on campus.

Personally, I would have to say that the most frustrating thing at USF is the availibility of science courses adn especially the labs that accompany them.

The most frustrating thing about USF is how a lot of the administrative offices do not keep in contact with each other. And when I say that, I mean that financial aid and the office of PrePaid don't correlate their informtation so it makes it very difficult for students to get all the necessary information they need. The same goes for campus housing and food services, etc.

That it is mandatory to pay for the meal plans and they are very expensive. I can save so much more money if I can buy my own groceries.

The lack of student support, you are on your own from day one.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the number of things that must be paid on the fifth day of classes. There are several different things that must be paid, and if it is not paid then your student account would be charged over a hundred dollars of late fees. With many students' not getting enough financial aid, like myself, it is even harder to supply ourselves with books for the semester. Housing even threatens to change the locks on your dorm if you do not have all expenses paid. Money gets extremely frustrating.

I just finished at Hillsborough Community College (2 years) and the most frustrating thing was trying to work full -time and do school part-time. The choices of classes in the evening would not allow me to take everything I needed to graduate, therefore I had to quit my full-time job to look for something part-time. This caused a financial strain. I was encouraged when some Community Colleges in the state started to offer a 4 year degree, but soon found out that mine would not. Therefore the classes offered were still limited.

The school was built on a relatively large plot of land, so some of the classrooms and other buildings are somewhat far away from eachother.

financial aid is the most frustrating thing about my school. most of the time they do not understand how hard it is to fine money for school. even if you recieved a scholarship for a semester they would take away your financial aid like grants and loans that you recieved. which would prevent you to recieved any further financial aid for the next semester because they assume you still will be getting money for the next semester. most of them do not look at the needs of the student , instead they go by the book, the ruls.

buying books and boring teachers
