Freshman: I honestly didn’t think I would love USF as much as I do! Do to get me wrong, it is far from perfect, but it is slowly becoming home. Pros: the community is great, campus is huge so there’s always things to do! The games are awesome, the events are fun, there’s always free merch, information and even food from time to time. The library is the perfect place for studying and the structure is amazing. Cons: I wish there was more variety in the dining halls specifically if you’re trying to keep healthy. Some services don’t work great, like contacting the university through email, submitting documents, submitting proof of health insurance, and because of that many people get holds that take months to solve and can even get dropped of their classes. I also wish there were more on-campus job opportunities considering how big the university is. Overall a great college experience so far!... Read 7,471 reviews

Sophomore: I have had such an amazing experience at this school. I am so happy that I applied here and made my decision to attend this university. Academic life here is very manageable and it’s great because of the small class sizes. There are no student teachers as all Proffesor’s are accredited individuals. I have been able to form great relationships with Proffesor’s. Overall there are so many social and academic opportunities offered here that can advance someone in the future. In addition, the community life and social activities are the best! I would certainly recommend anyone to apply here.... Read 2,433 reviews

Sophomore: My experience with Hillsborough Community College and its professors has been amazing! Each of the campuses that are a part of the college as a whole painted a well drawn out picture of what is to come for prospective students. Each campus is well maintained, clean, safe, and inviting. The professors I have worked with during my time in their classes have helped me to grasp the material taught and help me maintain high grades through their excellent instruction and awareness of students needs....

Senior: I can't say enough about my time at St. Petersburg College. I am finishing up my degree in Public Policy this coming semester. Everyone has been extremely supportive and I was so impressed with how they made the process as easy as possible. Obviously you have to put in the work, but you will never feel alone. The business office, student support services, and every single professor made the experience positive for me. If you have thought about finishing up an associate or bachelor degree - do it! I promise it will be much less difficult than you're thinking.... Read 2,684 reviews

Alum: I had a fantastic experience at this college. The professors were awesome they really made themselves available to the students in case they needed any extra help in learning the material. In fact, once my professor would actually come to the library to have a group study session with the students before every exam. The campus is great always well kept and the facility itself is really nice. The academics were hands down some of the best, a fantastic college to attend!... Read 1,287 reviews
