1) Our dorms are so amazing, I lived on campus all 4 years and never had to commute to school! I could roll out of bed and go to class everyday!
2) The amazing people I have met. I have met people from all over the US and the world! I never thought I would know people from Dubai, Aruba, Venezuela, Brazil, Costa Rica, Sweden, Germany...etc...
3) We have the most beautiful campus in Florida (in my opinion). Living, working, and attending school around so much history adds so much to your all around college experience.
4) Our small classroom sizes. I know all of my professors by name, and they know me. I know I've done so well all four years because I was able to get one-on-one help from my professors.
5) The location. I am from Florida so the beach is nothing all too new for me, but I am from a TINY town. Coming to a city that is so large made me nervous because I thought it was going to be really overwhelming but it wasn't. Tampa is known to be the biggest small town. It has all of the features a city offers, yet it still feels homey and welcoming.
6) Our study abroad program. I didn't actually get to study abroad because I have been able to travel a lot on my own, but almost half of my friends have gone abroad. Their pictures all look amazing and they have come back with great experiences. I think having the resources our school offers for study abroad is a huge asset to our school.
This is one of my best friends in Spain for her Semester Abroad, she now has a minor in Spanish -------->
7) The on campus resources. We have our Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), the Saunder's Writing Center, and the Career Services Office. All of these offices add a lot to the college experience. The ACE is a place to receive free tutoring. The Suander's Writing Center is where you can get your paper's edited and reviewed for free. And our Career Services Office provides resume writing and reviewing, internship and job fairs, as well as a great hiring website (HIREUT). All of these offices are on campus and should most definitely be taken advantage of.
8) The campus feels like a community. I can walk around campus and feel at home. You will see friends in the cafe, the courtyard, the library, the pool, at sporting events...etc. 60% of our undergrads live on campus, we are one big community!
9) The opportunities to work on campus. Working in the admissions office has been one of the best things I've ever done. Plus, I don't have to drive to get to work. There are numerous jobs all over campus, at some point you should definitely try to work on campus!
10) The connections you can get just because you go to UT. I've said it before and I'll say it again, its not all about what you know but who you know. UT is connected with so many people and businesses in the Tampa area, it would be a huge mistake if you didn't take advantage of the networking offered. There are events going on all the time for students to network with local business people. This city has jobs and internships everywhere, if you meet the right people and work hard you could land the job of your dreams!
That's it for now :)
Keep the requests for info coming!!
