What's Tampa like?

When people think of college towns in Florida they typically think of places like Gainesville, or Tallahassee (haven’t really had the time to go to the Capital so I’m not quite sure). When I think of Tampa I think of it as a college “city.” I’m not very familiar with Miami, but Tampa is definitely a fun place to be because it has EVERYTHING. You’ve got, as mentioned, the theme parks like Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, the Ybor Clubs, shopping areas like International Plaza, the Bucs, Rays, Lighting, and of course access to world famous beaches. While I think Gainesville is cute town, I would probably go crazy if I stayed there for more than a week because there really isn’t anything to do there.
