• The University of South Florida has three main campuses:
  • Tampa (main campus)
  • St. Petersburg
  • Sarasota-Manatee
  • The Tampa campus is the largest and has all major facilities like a library, gym and sports complex, student center, health center, and cafeterias.
• There are many student clubs and organizations based on interests like culture, technology, music, dance, entrepreneurship, and volunteering. USF also has sports teams and offers facilities for football, basketball, swimming, and tennis.
• Popular events and fests include USF Week, Bullstock, Homecoming, and International Festival. These include concerts, food events, games, and performances.
• Students can join cultural clubs, coding groups, sports teams, or student government. There’s something for everyone, and joining these helps with networking, fun, and skill-building outside the classroom.

• I stayed off-campus. I found the place through WhatsApp and Facebook groups. Rent was around $600 per month. It had internet, water and trash included, but electricity was extra.
• It was hard to finalize from India without seeing it. I suggest students search early and try to find roommates. My place was 5 mins from campus. Many Indians live in Campus Club, 42 North, ON50, and Lakeview, Cambridge, near Tampa, USF student communities.
   

• 3 campuses
  USF Tampa, FL
  USF Sarasota, FL
  USF St petersberg, FL

• Every facility is available on main campus. Like recreational centers and libraries and sports.
  Major campus festivals like Home coming parade and Diwali Events and Christmas parties are celebrated. Frequent cultural activities are performed in the amphitheater and ballroom. Students of Indian organizations helps in conducting such events

• I found my accommodation through WhatsApp group for Fall admission from India. Other options are through Facebook groups and Indian association group
• Monthly rent 500 for sharing room and 1000 for a single room
• Challenges are mostly to get accommodation in C route off campus as its closest to
• Campus and tough to find a good room
• Try to find roommates before coming here through WhatsApp group and meet them in India before committing online and try building rapport
• Accommodation was 1 mile away

I have attended a couple of events which were hosted by different clubs. It's fun. You can interact with different people from different countries. You can participate in the events as well.

I have lived in a shared apartment- 2b2b. The rent was 1900 USD per month and other utilities like electricity, wifi will cost around 160 USD per month. (THIS IS THE TOTAL COST, NOT INDIVIDUAL)

Apart from the lengthy commute, the campus life is one of the best things here, from regularly hosted events, extracurricular activities and parties from nearly 1000+ clubs in the campus to best in class facilities like the massive Library which hosts a plethora of books and digital content accessible from anywhere. WiFi is available for free to the students with great speeds, there is a wide array of sports facilities from gyms (which is free for the students) to giant pitches for American Football, baseball, athletics etc. The main highlight are the research facilities at USF, with a budget of nearly 2.5 billion dollars, nearly 40% of the amount is used to upkeep the research facilities with state of the art labs and systems.

The in-campus housing is very expensive and considering the space we live in for that amount, it isn't worth that amount of money, I strongly advise anyone coming here find accommodation off-campus (except for undergraduate freshman for whom it is mandatory to stay in campus for the 1st year). With respect to the off-campus housing we have rentals ranging from 300$ for a 3 Sharing per room 2BHK to 800$ for individual rooms.

Infrastructure is super good with world class library of six floors and filled with books for 4 floors.

We have to search for accommodation pre-arrival itself. So that we are good with the arrival.

The campus life was very good. I have many beautiful memories of the campus. We have been provided all the research facilities. There were so many clubs and societies related to different activities. We has a group of more than 10 friends and there were more than 1000 fellow countrymen in the university.

I stayed with the university students in a shared apartment off-campus. My apartment was 2 km far from the university and university transport facilities are very good and frequent without any payment. The apartment was furnished. I selected the apartment based on the distance from the university, the availability of grocery stores nearby and the facilities available in the apartment.

I chose the University Of South Florida for its excellence in academics and stem programs and because the campus is beautiful. I chose USF based on the STEM fair that my school took us back in 7th and 8th grade and I just fell in love with the school as a whole.

I opted for this particular college because they have a very good education program. Graduates from the University of South Florida have a 99% chance of obtaining a job right out of college. I found this very appealing.

Tuition was affordable and the school was near my home. The school is clean and the people are friendly. There?s good transportation systems on campus as well as many programs to help students get used to living.
