Well, the Busch Gardens area is the campus area, so at least you’ve been there before. Busch Gardens is right across the street from campus. If you live on campus (or are on campus a lot) you can hop on the bus and just go any day you want.

Aside from that, the area immediately around campus has a bit of everything, all kinds of restaurants, bars, clubs, and shops. There isn’t anything you can’t find around that area.
If you’re looking for nightlife, there’s Ybor city just about 15 minutes away, and that is the centre of Tampa nightlife. Beyond that, there is Hyde Park and Channelside, and the beaches are about 45 minutes away.
