University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

I wish I would have known just how expensive college really is. It's different when you don't have to pay for school and aren't very independent. Then all of a sudden you have to be responsible, start paying your own bills, waking up to make sure you get to class, and going to work.

I wish I would have known that parking was really expenisve. It's crazy how much they charge students to park. College students don't make enough money as it is.

I wish I had spoken more Spanish.

I was unaware of all of the scholarship resources available to Latinos prior to my first semester at USF. Some guidance in financial aid programs prior to the beginning of my first tenure would have made a considerable difference in my personal financial standing, as I was forced to pay for my first 3 years of college out of pocket.

Before I had come to this school, I wish that I would have known how much time would be crunched, especially considering the finances that I'd be paying for, the clubs, organizations, and student resources I'd have access too, and the load of homework that I would also have to prioritize.

The costs of fees and books. The requirement to take summer classes to graduate on time.

I would have liked to know that while school work is most important, you must remember to have fun and find a positive way to relieve stress. Remembering to save money, if you are working, is very important; there may come a time that you need the extra money when you least expect it and it is nice to have something to fall back on.

I wish that I would have known that the library is not connected to the school before enrolling.

I wish I would have known about more scholarship opportunities before I came to this school.

Nothing. Everything was great here.
