It is a friendly and warm campus.

Tips: USF offers several opportunities and exposure throughout one's life in college which I have found very valuable. The faculty and professors are open-minded and helpful when needed and if there is something that needs to be improved, it is the limited class sizes as it affects registration for classes. Public transportation is very convenient and affordable. Students should explore as much as they can.

Master of Science in Computer Science - Batch of 2025

Offered by University of South Florida

4.2

The university is great and the faculty is understanding and friendly.

Tips: Please don't get into the part-time trap. A lot of people work just to earn money, some work off campus even after on-campus part-time, just to earn money and buy stuff that is not that important during their studies. Students should try to get a GA, they get a full waiver. The university has its own bus service which is very helpful to travel anywhere in the University as the campus is huge. It's free for all USF students and even in the whole of Tampa, local bus service is free for USF students. You can travel pretty much anywhere in the city and explore freely.

It has been a positive and unique experience.

Tips: If you are travelling from India, then try to get here at least a week in advance so you can give yourself time to recover and explore the vicinity as well. Plan your class schedule and priorities in advance and in case you feel like you need help, there are various campus organisations and services here. The faculty is very helpful, friendly and understanding so feel free to reach out to them in case of any queries.
