Why USF?...
When looking for a school to attend I wanted something that felt like
home, but wasn’t home. Because USF is located in Tampa it wasn’t to far
from home and I like the community and the school spirit that is spread
throughout the community. Therefore, the only decision to be made was
when to move not which school. Also, the variety of undergraduate majors
did influence my decision, I was very undecided as to what I wanted to
major in but I did know what my career goal was to be. USF has so many
majors to choose from there was no doubt that I would find the one for
me once I became a student here. |

First Day...
My first day of class was a bit freighting. It was my first time
actually living away from home so I knew that after class I didn’t have
my family at home waiting to ask me how my day went. So, I put on my
confident face walked in to my Psychology class and realized that this
might actually be a wonderful experience because of my first day of
class I was able to successfully determine what my major would be. |

Living the campus life...
I lived on campus my freshman year at USF. I really enjoyed it and
would recommend that any student looking to attend college should live
on campus their first year. You get to know the campus better and you
can be more involved because you really have no excuse to leave campus.
Everything you need is within walking distance and if you felt it was
too far the shuttle stop was just a few feet away. I had a blast living
on campus. |

Activities ...
My favorite thing to do on campus is attend the different events that
the many organizations host. Every week and everyday there is something
new and different happening on campus and you always have many options.
I also like going to the gym because there are many different things you
can do to get a good work out. There are many classes to take in the gym
that make your workout experience fun. Busch Gardens is just a hop and a
skip away you can never go wrong with that. |

Professors ...
The professors here at USF are very different, I can say that many of
them do their best to help us as students succeed. They really do care
about us and they make that known. It also depends on what your major is
because with smaller classes you can get more intimate with the students
and the professor and build a strong repor within the classroom.

Multiculturalism ...
Because of the cultural diversity at USF, you are able to learn from
the students around you and it allows a different perspective on life.
Depending on the city or even the state that you come from many people
are limited in their knowledge of other cultures, so being a student at
USF allows you to interact with and learn more about others. It’s
amazing what you can learn from someone about their culture in just a
few minutes of talking to them. |

Metropolitan area ...
USF located about mid-way through Florida it doesn’t get too cold or
too hot. I like the weather and it is very different from what I’m used
to, with that said I look forward to staying in Tampa for a few more
years, or at least through Medical School if possible. |
