Probably save a little bit of money living off campus. Leasing a private off campus student apartment usually means having to pay rent for a full year–on campus housing for just two semesters would equal about the same amount of money as 12 months off campus. Living off campus has advantages and disadvantages–living on campus can mean less hassles having to deal with a possible bad off campus landlord. Too being on campus is usually more convenient allowing you to walk to everything on campus and not have to deal with getting your own car or commuting on bus. There are some private apartment complexes within walking distance of USF campus. Freshmen are required to live on campus in dorms unless their families live in Tampa area allowing them to commute. About 82% of USF freshmen live on campus in dorms.

You can’t get by on $4000/year for housing and board though…that figure is way low and unrealistic unless you eat nothing but rice and water and live in a tent.
