I have been loving it here ever since last fall, I am still a freshman but everything's is great. The weather, the professors, the women or the beach. The worst thing here is that the gym is always packed.

You will enjoy your time here, they provide a lot of resources for you to succeed, all you need to do is put the hard work in. As a student-athlete, one of the best D2 schools in the country with a wonderful staff and coaches who are there to help you succeed.

Love Tampa

My best decision was coming to University of Tampa. I can't imagine going anywhere else
Overall 4.8
Best decision I've made by coming to this school. From New York and I'm so glad I left the cold. I don't understand how people complain or transfer from this school unless they're homesick. Yes they have housing issues but if you're on top of your stuff then you'll be fine. Highly recommend this school there's so much to do and class load isnt bad!
Overall 4.6
Greek life isn't crazy so if you don't join, you aren't a nobody. Everyone is super friendly and the staff is great (you'll meet iffy people and staff just like anywhere else). Location is amazing, there's a bunch to do in the city, st Pete, and Clearwater. Foods pretty good. WiFi iffy. Gym and garage can get packed. Very happy here. Good school.

I just graduated from the university of tampa and want to give my honest opinion. There is no diversity, no clubs, no inclusion, no black people, and academically it is not that good. The campus and location are good and that means things are more expensive here. Rents and food off campus is expensive and getting more expensive. DO NOT COME HERE.
