Cheap Tuition
IntroductionThe University of South Florida is like no other school in Florida. USF not only has the cheapest Tuition in the state (which will make your folks happy) Everything is availible at this school. If you are an academic, USF has tons of majors, minors, and you can even create your own major! or do two at one time and graduate in four years! USF also offers great study abroad programs as well as semester and year exchanges where you can go to any university in the United States, pay USF tution and the same housing costs, and go to any university (Alabama, NYU, Harvard, UCLA, etc) for a year or semester!
For the student who likes to relax or is more artistic, USF has an Excellent music school, art school, and has its own Federal and the only student run Art Museum in Florida. Tampa has many museums just a short car ride away. The campus has a beautiful tropical atmosphere with palm trees and open walkways lined with exotic flowers. Classes are often held outside, and typically if you ask an instructor they will be more than happy to move the class outside, unless its a science lab.
For those who love to party hard, Tampa and USF is your spot. Football games are FREE (not like the other Big Schools which we wont name) All USF students get in ANY atheletic EVENT FREE with a USF ID card. ID's also get great discounts to big name preformances such as Usher, Bill Cosby, Tim McGraw, Dave Matthews, and more just for being a USF Student. But the party doesnt stop on campus, Busch Gardens is not even 5 mins. away! You can see the rollacosters from the library!
