Why USF?...
I attended USF because I wanted to be apart of something that was new and was on the rise.

First Day...
I was very excited to finally be on a college campus but nervous because I found myself getting lost on this huge campus.

Living the campus life ...
I lived on campus for the summer and fall of 2005, and spring of 2006. This was a learning experience for me and a very useful tool that helped me adapt to the campus and meet new people.

Student activities ...
I am involved in Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc., Student Government, Marshall Student Center Board, Miss/Mr. USF committee, and the Student Organization Advisory Board. I feel that if I were not a member of these different organizations on campus, my college experience wouldn’t be what it is today. By being in these organizations, I am able to learn more about the university and be involved which helps enhance my experience while I’m here.

Activities ...
My favorite thing to do on campus is attend Patio Tuesday. I have met so may new people and had loads of fun at the same time.

Professors ...
The majority of my professors are very knowledgeable in their fields and are truly professionals. My favorite professor is Dr. Susan MacManus. She is my favorite because I have probably learned most of what I know about Political Science from her classes and she treats every student like we all are her children.

Transition ...
By being apart of the Student Support Services program, which the university offers, I was able to have a smooth transition into this university. The counselors and advisors showed us the basics of the university and what it would take to make it  at an institution of this magnitude.

Multiculturalism ...
I have been able to learn from others about the culture in which they grew up in. I know a lot more today about many different cultures because of the diversity our university has. This helps me to be open minded and to appreciate other cultures.

Metropolitan area ...
USF is the heart of the city. There are so many opportunities that I have because I am a student here. I have been able to meet lawyers, legislators, and state cabinet members, which will all help me after graduating.

Global ...
I am able to think globally mainly because of the diversity that is on our campus and the different educational opportunities that exist. I have realized that USF supports the International community and the university encourages us to support it as well.
