Kenneth Carlson Student at This School - Grad Year 2016
Overall the school is pretty good, and it should be, because it is in the top 50 for research universities nation wide. I was pleasantly surprised that USF offered their students scholarships to attend because other Florida universities such as UF do not offer any. By far the best experiences i have had so far with the university was meeting excellent professors and staff. My Arts & Humanities professor is a brilliant individual and simply because of him i am reevaluating my major in Engineering. He understands and has spent a lot of time researching how humans are impacting the earth and how the current life style is sustainable in the near future. He is trying to educate his students on this along with flourishing as an individual in the hopes that he can help people realize the reality that is coming so that they can attempt to fix it. This has made me question whether i should opt out of a Bio-medical Engineers life, where i could help people on a small scale; or go for a life that is in the pursuit of making the world a better place in all aspects so that humans can flourish. The effort would be extravagant, but it may be the only thing that keeps the human life style recognizable to what it is today and bring upon an age of flourishing to the people. I have also met with the Associate Dean of the Honors college on multiple occasions and he has told me that i should go backpacking in Europe because it is a valuable life experience not merely a tourist experience. So i am hoping that i can go this summer if i am able to have the money resources for it and find someone to go with. If you as a student get offered into the Honors College take it! I am in it and even though certain honors classes are required i have definitely learnt the most so far in it and would never take it back.

The University of South Florida in my opinion, is a University that gives you the full college experience. First and foremost, in order to feel the college experience you must be active! I really enjoy the diversity that is at the college. The moment you walk into the student center you can see and feel diversity. The best thing about it, is that everyone enjoys the diversity and a lot of students try to take benefit from it. Meeting people from all around the world and learning something new everyday is something that is up for grabs if one is willing to put the effort. There are many student organizations that are available. And there is no doubt in my mind that each and every single student can find their selves in. You have to put in a little effort to receive some kind of satisfaction! I also believe the academics of the University are high in ranks and so much can be achieved. With a little bit of effort, one can go a long way, as long as they are determined and consistent. The rest comes on its own!
