The USF Tampa and St. Pete campuses are very beautiful and modern. Clean, efficient, mostly quiet, and pedestrian friendly. The student support staff are knowledgable and efficient, and the tutors are very good as well. Food is about what you can expect from basic cafeteria cuisine, but if you don't mind a meal plan or spending a little extra there's great brands who vend on campus. When I was there, I had my pick of Chick-fil-a, Papa Johns, Beef-O'-Brady's, Panda Express, Moe's, and so on.
In Tampa, being so close to the USF Sun Dome which attracts high profile figures every few weeks is nice, as well as the MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry) facility. And who can forget Busch Gardens!
In St. Pete, you'll treated with a lovely view of the St. Pete-Tampa Bay, a stones throw away from Scenic Drive--a very lovely part of downtown St. Pete--complete with viewings of Yachts and top shelf restaurants, as well as the Dali Museum and USF's own Marine research facility.

The campus is beautiful and open and the population is very diverse, which makes an international student like myself feel welcome. The professors are always willing to help and there are tutors and various resources for every problem you can have, all of which are available for free. There are activities almost everyday from various organizations and departments which allow you to relax and have some food or learn something new. The school also awarded me a great scholarship, without which I probably wouldn't be attending university in this country at all. There are malls, movie theatres, and unique hangout spots in the area and just 20 minutes away is a beautiful city where enjoyable nightlife can be found. I have yet to experience everything that USF has to offer but so far it has been a great experience, GO BULLS!
The campus is beautiful. It is a rather large patch of green oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle. There is food and plenty of fun student life activities offered daily - including yoga, pet therapy, and many more fun things. The campus is large but security and safety are always felt. There are security phones and emergency beacons every few feet. The professors at the school of nursing in particular are top notch. They are interested in giving their time to help student's succeed. The return on investment here is absolutely worth it!
