The university is great and lots of exposure and a great experience.

Tips: Being here has made me grow a lot as the campus is very accommodating and lively and you can get a very multifaceted experience. The resources and facilities for my programme are ideal and you are encouraged to think out of the box. Take your time to settle here and explore freely.

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.

The university has been great and everything has been well so far.

Tips: I have been pretty satisfied with my time here and the campus life is enriching. There is a lot of diversity and the academic programs and courses are well formulated as well. Other than this, Tampa can get really hot during the summers so prepare according.

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 student...

My college tries its best to help the students in and out of the campus.

Tips: Students should know that the college is an enjoyable place, but there is a lot of change in cultural differences. The scholarships are a bit difficult to achieve, but there are a few we can apply for. However, the college helps students achieve their goals. You have to attend the class to get the most out of it.

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.

Interestingly vast ways of experiences to success.

Tips: Take the SAT and score high to get good scholarships. Naviation is necessary, so make sure you know how to read maps. Don't rely on wheels. Walking is often necessary, as buses get full quite quickly during common class hours. Mostly early morning. I am overall very satisfied and I am a proud USF Bull. You can use the public bus for free using your student ID. And the card is very powerful, and holds vital information. Usf students get discounts almost everywhere. People are very friendly.

Academics are good but a bit stressful

Tips: Be prepared that you need to spend a lot of time for the assignments and quizzes and need to submit those on time without delay. Academics will be a bit hard but it will be easier if we spend quality time in preparing for the examinations and assignments.

Great university with appropriate facilities and great academic standards.

Tips: The university has great infrastructure and great job opportunities, such that rarely people join in consultancies to get jobs. The college has many fun activities every Wednesday and it provides free bus facility to all the students. Moreover, it has recently entered the list of top 100 colleges in the United States. The expenditure on accommodation and food is comparatively low. The great thing about the college is that it has low fee structure as it is public funded.

Afforadable Tier-1 college

Tips: Part time wage pay is 10$/hr and also we need to get 75% above in every subject to qualify for the subject or else we need to rewrite the subject exam again. Some of the departments don't offer any specialization so before you come enquire about it from respective graduate professors which are mentioned on the website.

Likes (Public transportation): Everyplace you go it is free with the university of south Florida Tampa student ID card. Up to 15 miles we have university buses and above 15 miles to 25 miles we have state bus...

Excellent transport services and good resources.

Tips: Before joining this college, you should make sure which college majors you would be joining and the research areas you are interested in. Along with that, connect with professors and students on LinkedIn and other professional means. The climate mostly remains warm, but there are erratic changes with rains and little cold chills, but it is manageable. It is true that cars are a necessity here, but you can manage with a bicycle as well. Usually, buses have cycle stands in front of them, where one...

A great and promising quality of education.

Tips: I have gained a lot of knowledge about the industry and my program which has been invaluable, during my time here. You will meet all sorts of people and this diversity is what makes USF so unique. You should make use of the university's applications as well as maps to navigate through campus as it can make things a lot easier.
