Why USF?...
I decided to attend USF at first because my brother goes to school here. I was aware of their medical and nursing program and how prestigious their academics are becoming in the state of Florida.

First day...
At first I was overwhelmed with the size of campus. I came in during the summer time so that made it easier to get an idea of where things are. I loved the independence that USF allows its students to have.

Activities...
I enjoy going ice skating and bowling. The movie theaters here are huge and have the most comfortable chairs.

Student Activities...
Currently I am involved with the following:
Undergraduate Research
Alpha Epsilon Delta Pre-Medical Honor Society
Alternative Spring Break
Dance Marathon
Get Carded
Big Brothers Big Sisters
My involvement has helped me meet so many amazing people.

Professors...
I love all of the science professors. They show such a dedication to the education of their students. My favorite teacher is Dr. Jones. He puts a twist on a very difficult subject, such as organic chemistry, and makes it relatively understandable to students.

Transition...
Coming in during the summer time was probably the best that that I did. It made the transition easier.

Research...
I am involved in undergraduate research. I love it and feel lucky that I can be apart of changing the lives of people.

Multiculturalism...
The cultural diversity of USF has opened my eyes and helped me think about issues in today’s world.

Metropolitan...
I plan on going to USF’s medical school after I graduate. I love the Tampa area because there is so much opportunity.

Global perspectives...
After going on Alternative Spring Break, my thinking about the world has dramatically changed. Instead of knowing about an issue, I ask why this is happening and what can be done about it.
