<p>USF has a great location right in the heart of the city, and the campus (hike up the steps to Lone Mountain) is beautiful. The views are absolutely incredible! I met some students and professors and administrators on my visits, and I was impressed with all of them. I did hear that a few students are not highly qualified, and some courses not particularly challenging. They have some large guaranteed scholarships with certain test scores + GPA, but they do not guarantee to meet financial need and are known to “gap” students. A special honors program is offered to “University Scholars” that offers special seminars, outings (paid for by USF) and more challenging courses.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
