University of South Florida at Tampa Tampa Campus Tampa, FL
A world-class scholarly environment in one of Florida’s most historic and exciting cities

Established in 1956, the University of South Florida is one of the youngest universities in the state, but has rapidly built a reputation as a first-class academic institution and a fun social environment in one of Florida’s finest cities. With most of the classroom buildings located on the west side of campus, you’ll want to look for apartments in the Fletcher Avenue area if you want to be able to walk or bike to class quickly. However, the USF Commuter Student Network and an extensive bus system help students who live off-campus get to class even without the use of a personal vehicle. Situated on the north end of Tampa, the USF campus is fairly removed from most of the activity around town, but the city has no shortage of exciting attractions and nightlife to check out— whether that means catching a Rays game at Tropicana Field or partying in Ybor City. University Mall is practically right next door to campus, and Busch Gardens is only a few blocks away. Of course, being so close to the Gulf of Mexico, you’re likely to spend many weekends at the beach, which is only a few minutes’ drive from anywhere in town.
