The University of Tampa is a very unique school with a small student body (approximately 8,000 undergrads) and idyllic campus located in the heart of downtown. The UT experience is unlike any other. If you go to Tampa, you’ll recognize some of the items listed below and (hopefully) get a laugh out of them. If you’re unfamiliar with our fair college, allow me to introduce you to life as a Tampa student with these comedic “would-you-rathers.” Enjoy!
If you know anything about Tampa you know 99.9% of the student body comes from these three locations. So, ladies, what’s it going to be?
Tough choice, but not having a car in Tampa SUCKS. There’s very limited public transportation in this city and it’s not exactly pedestrian-friendly. So unless you have very generous roommates who are willing to schlep you around town, I think I’d have to go with the dorm even though parking on campus is sparse. But I demand my own room. I’m 22-years-old a.k.a. I don’t do bunk beds!
Life is hard for us UT students. I mean, we have to drive a full 45 minutes to get to the best beaches in the U.S. And sometimes there’s traffic!
This question is evil. I value my three-day weekends more than Kris Jenner values Kim Kardashian’s ass for giving all her children careers. Therefore, I’m not scheduling anything on Friday even though this means missing out on $1 beers in SoHo every Thursday. *sigh* You can’t have it all.
This one boils down to hockey vs. football. FYI: If you choose anything but hockey I don’t want to know you.
I plead the fifth on this one. They’re both too good to choose. Gun to my head, I know which one I’d pick, but I don’t want to influence your vote.
I’m partial to the pastries at the former location—specifically the almond croissant—so if you need me that’s where I’ll be, stuffing my face full of delicious confections.
Both situations have pros and cons. The former means you’re establishing independence, but it also means you don’t get to see your family often. The latter would make it harder to establish meaningful connections at school and you would be driving A LOT. On the bright side, you would save money living at home and your family would be close by when you need them. I can’t with this question. I need both worlds. I am the queen of back home ballin’.
You can’t really go wrong here. Anytime you can be outside on a sunny day and walk by the water is a good day. Amiright?
They’re both about an hours drive from the University of Tampa, so it just depends on what your preference is: rollercoasters and Mickey Mouse or hiking and sea turtles?
This is just a fun little piece to get you thinking about some of your favorite things about the University of Tampa! Hopefully the question about 8 a.m. classes won’t happen to you, but if it does just know that we’ve all been there and made it out alive. Focus on the fact that you can keep your tan all year. That should soften the blow.
