Alright. First off, the only good thing about this school is the people I've met. Now there are definitely some snobby, arrogant rich kids, like people have been describing here, but not to the extent that some people are saying. I've met some great people here and they are the only thing I will miss about this university.

Now, on to everything else about this school..

This school is a joke. It is like a big high school. The kids here, majority of the time, do not even look like college kids. They look like a bunch of high schoolers. I remember one day in one of the dorm buildings, Vaughn, there were a bunch of drums playing obnoxiously loud and I felt like I was in a pep rally back in high school. With all that, the classes are like high school courses, as well. I really felt like I did not have to do absolutely anything this semester and I still passed. If you visit UT and look around in some of the main areas of campus, it will look like a giant high school to you, not to mention also because this school is tiny.

The surrounding area sucks. Tampa is dead, full of homeless people, with ghetto everywhere around. The clubs are a joke here. The so-called "frat houses" here are pathetic. They get one keg and it runs out in ten minutes, party is over.

Let's see, what else? Oh, this school tries to take money from you in any way possible. First off, the tuition, enough said. I'll get into more of how they try to take your money later on in this.

Like I said before, this school is a giant high school, rules-wise, as well. I feel like I'm still living with my parents. RAs go out of their way here to bust kids. They found over an ounce of bud in my room here, not too smart on my part, I will admit, but the RA doing rounds went out of her way to track the smell to my door and call campus security, whom are also a joke. The university kicked me out on my ass for two weeks after this, said I couldn't live in my dorm and was restricted from ALL residence halls until my hearing, which I had to wait two weeks for, and even then I was still probably going to lose my housing, but I'm lucky I have a family friend that lives down here, otherwise I would have had no where to live. That's how much this university cares about their students. So essentially, if you get in big trouble here, they'll kick you out of housing and tell you to find somewhere to live. When my father called the school about all this, they said they only reason they did not get the police involved(Private university, so police do not have to be involved in this type of stuff)was because THEY did not want the negative publicity. Not because they would have ruined my life, putting me in jail for a five year MANDATORY sentence over a plant, but because they did not want negative publicity. That's how much this university cares about their students. Now, they let me live in my dorm for the remainder of the semester, but that is only because my parents are pulling me out after this semester, otherwise they would have kicked me out on my ass and told me to find somewhere to live. I had a friend who got written up for drinking the beginning of the year, then him and some other people were passing around a football in the hallway and it accidentally hit an RA. The RA wrote him up and the kid was kicked out of housing. Ridiculous, no? Now think about a bunch of shit like that being the reasoning for kicking kids out. That's how much of a joke this school is. Another one of my friends was written up for a single bottle of empty beer. Campus security couldn't just give him a warning and a slap on the wrist, they had to write him up. Another group of people were written up for an empty box of beer. I can go on and on for how much of a joke this school is as far as rules. They are very strict with rules and only think of themselves.

The girls here are pretty sexy, I will give the university that.

The professors here are also pretty good, you can actually talk to them when you need to because the class sizes are small. The work is not too bad, nor the quality of education.

The dorms are not bad here, but nothing special.

Food here is terrible. The cafe in Vaughn is absolutely disgusting. The pizza is under-cooked all the time. Literally, cheese is fine on it, but the dough is like partially white, still, not brown. It made me sick the other night. Then the grill in the cafe is gross. The lines for the "main courses" are always huge and just a waste of time. Now the other food in Vaughn, like Chick-Fil-A and The Grill are not as bad as the cafe, but still pretty bad. Chick-Fil-A is gross and tastes fake, but The Grill is not bad overall, but gets old really fast. Not too much variety. The other food is Vaughn is pretty bad though. Then there's the food in Stadium. There's a Pandini's, DQ, and some other things. All are pretty bad. the DQ is just like a normal DQ, but always has huge lines. Pandini's is "Italian" food, but gets old fast. The other food in there sucks. Then there the Ratheskeller, under Plant Hall. Those sandwiches are delicious, I will say. The ladies working there are hilarious and the sandwiches are bomb, but you can only use Spartan Dollars there, which will run out fast, because the only decent food you can really get is the food you get with Spartan Dollars. There's a another thing that sucks are the food here.

Also, on classes, the course "Gateways", absolute joke, it'll be one thing that'll make you hate UT. Literally all they teach you is what they've already told you in high school about college.

So, overall, UT is pretty bad. I regret coming here, other than that I've met some good friends down here. The school only cares about themselves and try to take money from you in any way they can, with that, after my shit that I got in trouble with, they charged me two hundred dollars, on top of the sixteen thousand dollar semester they already took my money for. A word of advice, save your money and time, go somewhere else. There's plenty of better schools in Florida, and all over the country.

I think I heard the percentage rate of return at UT for first and second semester of freshman students, something along those lines, is somewhere between 60% and 69%. That shows how bad this school is. That is one of the lowest rates in the country. Trust me, save you money and time, go somewhere else for college.

There are plenty of other things I could rant on about this university, but I think I've made my point and whoever reads this will get what I'm saying. I hope this helps out some people. Cheers.
