Exploring Campus Life

Students who are involved outside of the classroom develop valuable leadership skills and learn how to maintain a great balance between their social and academic life. If your student tells you “There’s nothing to do on campus!” remind them about some of these events and resources:

Attend Events

Take part in USF traditions on campus.

There are many celebrated USF traditions, including Week of Welcome (WOW) Kickoff, USF Photo & Pep Rally, Homecoming, Movies on the Lawn, and more!

Cheer on the Bulls. Attending athletic events is a great way to generate school spirit and have a great time with friends and classmates. The schedule for all Bulls® teams can be found at gousfbulls.com.

Experience USF’s amazing arts. An abundance of talent on campus means there is a full schedule of concerts, recitals, and exhibits for your student to attend. Visit usf.edu/arts for a listing of events.
