Why USF?...
The large variety of undergraduate majors influenced my decision to
attend USF. I was an undeclared major and the USF advising officers
really helped me become aware of all the majors available and guided me
towards what was right for me. USF also has a great location, right in
the city and only 20 minutes away from the beach. |

First day ...
My first day of classes was very exciting! I was very comfortable in
the huge campus because of my university experience class. The class is
great for incoming freshmen because it starts two weeks before the fall
classes. The class shows students how to get to important buildings on
campus before the actually fall semester classes start and highlights
all the university’s resources as and how to use them. |

Living the campus life ...
I lived in Beta Hall the all freshmen dorm and it was one of the best
college experiences. My resident assistant was really helpful and I met
some of closes friends whom I am still in contact with today. I also
lived in Epsilon Hall my sophomore year. I would recommend everyone to
live on campus! |

Activities ...
My favorite thing to do is try new ethic foods at restaurants. Since
Tampa is so diverse, you can find all types of food from different
cultures anywhere you go. |
|
Student activities ...
I have been involved in the Project Thrust Corporate Mentor Program for two years. One of the most important aspects of business is
networking and the program gives students a great opportunity to do so.
The program is a great asset to the business college because it creates
valuable connections between students and surrounding large firms as
well as lasting relationships between the student and mentor. The
program also offers workshops that help students prepare for the job
interview process and the work environment.

Professors ...
The professors at USF are great, they really care about you as an
individual not just a student. One of my favorite professors is Mike
Luckett who teaches Professional Selling. His course material can be
used in a business setting to make any difficult situation easier to
manage. |
|
Transition ...
My transition between high school and college life was scary. I had
moved to Florida to go to USF right after high school and did not know
anyone, but everyone was so nice, I made friends very quickly. |
|
Multiculturalism ...
The cultural diversity at USF has helped me become more aware of other
nationalities as well as my own. I learned a lot about my culture
through my involvement at VSA my freshmen year. I think it is important
to learn about other cultures as well as your own, and VSA gave me the
opportunity to do so. |
|
Metropolitan area ...
USF’s location is beneficial to me because it is a major metropolitan
area. I have the ability to transition into my career in Tampa because of the
rich job opportunities available. |
|
Global ...
USF gave me a great opportunity to be involved in the USF Saint
Petersburg Doing Business in China and Vietnam Study Abroad Program.
Going study abroad has helped me become aware of the unique things other
countries have to offer! I had 3 great professors, who have a strong
passion and immense knowledge in regards to traveling since they have
all been to many countries all over the world. Professor Tom Ainscough,
Professor Todd Shank and Professor Michael Luckett sparked my new found
interest in traveling abroad! |
