Absolutely love this place. Good scores on AP, IB, AICE, etc exams get you out of many gen ed courses. The counselors are great, especially the ones who work in the honors college. Parking passes are a bit pricey ($180 per year for non-resident students, or $60 if you're okay with only parking on the fringes of campus). However, unlike some other 4-year universities, they truly care about the student, and don't simply base all of their decisions on profit.

USF Engineering Dept.
Local ABET accredited institution. Get your associate degree at the community college and then transfer!
I think I won't do justice if I just say a few words only regarding the college. But just as a beginning point USF is among the top research universities in the US. State of the art facilities. Amazing campus.
Buildings look like prison and academic advisors are atrocious
Great place for engineering research lovers. Everything is for you
