University of south florida sarasota-manatee Reviews

The greatest decision I ever made was deciding to attend USFSM. Go Bulls!

USFSM proclaims to have a personable experience. Though this maybe true for some students; it wasn't for me. My experience as a new transfer student was VERY unpleasant, from the academic advisors to financial aid. I even reached out to admissions for help because I wasn't getting the resource and tools they represent at USFSM; still no help. I feel as though new students should have proper guidance in their first semester at least but everything they stated in "open house" has yet to be true. If your looking for a college that care for their new students and students in general, you won't find it here; in my opinion!

Awesome school where it's easy to get into the campus life, while giving you the chances to get involved locally and find yourself a job. Also without a doubt the best school in Florida in terms of cost to what you get out of it!

Going to graduate this summer semester.

My experience here at usfsm was in every sense of the word, magical.

The thing I love about going to such a small campus is that you are afforded so much more individual attention than you would be at a larger institution.

This also means that there are significantly more opportunities for students to take advantage of.

I went to Japan on a business scholarship for 2 and a half weeks (essentially for free) that is specific only to usfsm.

I founded a prominent film club on campus, and even became student body president, designing and approving a $1.7 million dollar renovation of our student space from the ground up.

I was shy in high-school, and the type of students here are too, but if you take the time to get to know everyone, they eventually help bring out the best in you and everyone else around them (even themselves).

As for the comment that was made about advising, things are kind of in a bad spot right now, but I'm confident that under the leadership of Chancellor Stone things will be ironed out fairly soon.

But overall, the small class experience, individual attention, and sheer multitudes of unique opportunities makes USF Sarasota-Manatee a force to be reckoned with.

Gorgeous campus. Here for a conference and it worked out wonderfully.

Attended a conference here in the summer. The staff was extremely accommodating. Anything we needed, they went out of their way to provide. A great organization!

Great School with great faculty.......small classes so you really get to know your professor and your professor knows you....a lot of hands on work too which I love
