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), Homecoming, 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.

Stay Informed

Encourage your student to join the “USF Class of 2025” Facebook group facebook.com/groups/USF2025. Remind them to read the Note-A-Bull News, a weekly e-newsletter that arrives in their email every Sunday, with information about events, programs, activities, and important deadlines. usf.edu/studentsuccess/note-a-bull-news/

Get Involved

Explore student organizations. With 600+ student organizations, there is an organization for nearly every interest. Your student can visit bullsconnect.usf.edu and log in to explore.

Learn about employment and internship opportunities. Visit Career Services, usf.edu/career-services, which offers career assessments, career counseling, job search coaching, resume critiques, practice interviews, career fairs, internships, and part-time and full-time professional employment opportunities.
