What’s your favorite thing about the USF St. Petersburg campus? I enjoy the size and location of our campus, it is the perfect. Downtown St. Pete has so much to offer our students within minutes in an atmosphere that isn’t available in larger campuses. Our campus size provides a more personal experience on campus as well, here you can meet and see a majority of your peers regularly. Without getting caught up in the rush of a larger campus.

From your first day as a freshman through graduation and beyond we have services and resources just for you. Our staff and students are dedicated to helping you find and evaluate your career goals and find a career path that fits you.
