  • as a recent grad of the university of south florida, I figured now would be the perfect time to share my experience as a usf bull. overall, I really loved my time at usf, but no university is perfect! chat with me about living on campus as a senior, being in a sorority (and living in the house), my mass communication major, + so much more 😎

    I’ve been at usf since I was a freshman, and I can say for sure that the campus life and school spirit has gotten way better the last couple of years. I can’t wait for new stadium, go bulls!

    I agree with everything you said, although I feel like with the kick ass mass comm program we just happened upon might make us more privileged than other majors as far as the actual education goes

    You mention the Greek life being a pro in both pro and con videos. Do you know if the hazing and pledging is bad in the frats?

    • @claireemercier
      @claireemercier  Pƙed 4 měsĂ­ci +1

      greek life was definitely a big pro for me! I never got too involved with the frats so I don't have any first-hand knowledge of any crazy hazing that goes on, but I don't think it is a huge thing in USF greek life. I truly don't know though. sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

    Sorry, fell into your vlog by accident, but now curious to see if you have a video that reveals the reason you switched from USC to USF? Thanks đŸ€Ÿ

    • @claireemercier
      @claireemercier  Pƙed 8 dny

      hiiii!! I don't have a video explaining it - I totally should have made one though. long story short, USC was my dream school, but it was VERY expensive and honestly too academically challenging for me. I really loved my one semester in LA but it really didn't make sense for me to stay. if I would've stayed at USC I would've been in over $100K of debt after my 4 years 😭 so I ended up coming home to illinois, getting my associate degree from a local community college, and then chose to transfer to USF due to it's great location and relatively cheap tuition. it ended up being the PERFECT school for me and I can happily say that I graduated completely debt-free!
      thank you for watching - hopefully that helps answer your question :)

      hi! I can't say I have one - the mass comm program at USF is completely separate from any other programs. I don't even think i've set foot in one of the STEM buildings on campus tbh đŸ€Ł sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

      hi, and congratulations!! that's so exciting! I have no doubt you'll love your time at USF. I don't know much about cybersecurity or USF Master's programs, but my biggest piece of advice to you is to explore Tampa as much as possible! definitely take advantage of the different resources USF has (free/discounted kayaking, sailing, etc) for exploring the area. here's a link www.stpetersburg.usf.edu/student-life/facilities/campus-rec/outdoor-recreation/index.aspx

    I’ll admit I’m old, graduated in ‘69 but as a mass communication major I would hope you have a vocabulary bigger than
    “Sucks” eg food, Starbucks, Amos’s. Also, as a resident, I always had to walk across campus: rain, heat, tornadoes.
    I love your enthusiasm and happy to hear about the advancements but no need to whine a out the mail, parking or food. It’s a university and will always be difficult if it’s worth going to.
    Go BULLS!

      hi! the reason I "whined" about the things I didn't like is bc this is a pros and CONS video! 😆 also, using the word "sucks" does not mean I have a poor vocabulary...it is just how the people in my generation speak, and my videos are created to relate to them. thanks for watching!
