I chose to come to the university of Tampa because they emphasize experiential learning, global connections, the weather is great, and the campus is beautiful. The class sizes are small (around 20). As a freshman I was excited to start college and formulated scenarios in my head of what college would be like, but when I actually started school here it wasn't at all what I expected. Even on the first day I could tell people were cliquey, immature, materialistic, and stuck up. My roommate and I (now over halfway through the first semester) still have negative amount of friends. If you are not willing to wake up everyday and apply a full face of makeup, curl your hair, and wear high heels, nobody will give you the time of day. The only way to really make friends is to join either a sports team or Greek life in which all of your friends are bought anyway. There are definitely things I like here at UT (my classes, professors, facilities, campus, weather) but I've learned through being here that the people I'm surrounded by can play a huge role in my overall happiness even if I'm living in "paradise". My advise to you who are thinking about attending this university…do your research. There has to be a reason why UT has the highest transfer rate in the state. My reason for transferring? I can't stand the people, I'm not a city girl, I miss my friends from home, and i often find myself counting down the days until I get to leave this hell hole. Good luck in your college process!!!

responseI hope you have a better experience at your new school. As a son who works for an admissions employee not staffed in Tampa, the complaints youmhave of University of Tampa are complaints and things you are going to have problems with at any campus. Pleadge weeks are great, so is experiencing and reliving someone's memories. Some of ya'll are just very unfair to your classmates, whether they are ladies or guys. While being nothing wrong with your gardes, campus and classmates, Did you notice something? All you did was rail against classmates and even acknowldged the fact of what admissions told you their campus life is like. Helping you aware and progress that , you will work in the area where this campus is located and with these classmates. Good luck.
commentYou must have been a tough recruit to impress , your classmates are " closeminded and snooty" and the campus social life is a failure. Let me take you recruiting next time, we can go to Sesame place and camping world before hand. :)
