Why USF?
USF, located in Tampa Florida is one of the fastest growing research university in America, Home to the Moffitt Cancer Institute and the upcoming Alzheimer’s Research center. USF has done some ground breaking research in fields ranging from medicine to marine biology. USF also offers undergraduates an opportunity to be a part of the research teams. This not only broadens the student's understanding but also gives them a taste of their respective field. Coupled with an extremely well adept faculty and a well funded research program students graduate with a more experienced and enriched academic life.
What do you enjoy most about student life at USF?
USF is one of the largest universities in the nation, with programs ranging from fine arts to medicine. Being part of such a diverse and large student body I met people from all walks of life. I was surprised when I met people who grow up in a different part of the world but had so many ideas and thoughts in common . Of all the experiences, I cherished the freedom and the exchange of ideas with students over issues ranging from poverty in Africa to medicine.
