I wasn't on campus much, only when necessary. I worked full-time so I mostly took classes online. However, my experience with faculty and other students was an overall pleasant experience.
USFSP: small but mighty
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
My experience at USFSP was very positive. USFSP allowed me to find my passion and guided me in a direction that I would have not been able to find on my own. Small class sizes and professors that truly care about their students made all the difference.
