Freshman: As a freshman here attending the University of South Florida - St. Petersburg, I can say that the overall experience is very great! All of the staff are welcoming and very hospitable, the upperclassmen are helpful, and the classes are great as well! On the topic of classes, because this campus is smaller than the main campus, it only takes less than 10 minutes to get to class. To add, It also not difficult to make friends either, especially through the many fun events and clubs that the university hosts.... Read 541 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 2,424 reviews

Sophomore: Florida Southern is a great school if you are looking for meaningful relationships amongst your professors, beautiful scenery when you need to take your mind off of school, fun activities, and all around welcoming people. Although the food is hot and miss, Florida Southern makes up for it by having numerous dining options. However, I would love to see FSC incorporate even more options including vegetarian/vegan meals instead of just the 1-2 options on the Caf menu. Also, it is outdated. There definitely need to be renovations!... Read 1,175 reviews

Senior: My experience with the college has been pretty positive, I think it has its pros and cons just like any college. They have done very well with keeping in contact with me about anything I need and have kept in touch about my mental health throughout the program, which is something I have found that not many colleges take into consideration especially with how intense the program can get. I think the only real downside I have found is that the classes and teachers can be intense sometimes but I am on track to get my degree much faster so I can't complain too much!...
