Exploring Campus Life

Research shows that college students who are involved in activities outside of the classroom develop valuable 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:

Download and Use the BullsConnect App

Remind them to explore BullsConnect, USF’s student engagement app, which is packed with events, programs, and activities for all campuses. Students can download the app to their mobile devices or visit bullsconnect.usf.edu online. Once in, they can build a profile, connect with other students with similar interests, explore student organizations, and check out the events and programs happening across the university.

Attend Events

Take part in USF traditions on campus. There are many celebrated USF traditions, including Week of Welcome (usf.edu/wow), Homecoming (usf.edu/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 and in our communities means there are concerts, recitals, and exhibits for your student to attend. Visit usf.edu/arts/events for a listing of events, as well as in BullsConnect.

Get Involved

Join student organizations. With more than 800 student organizations across our three campuses, there is an organization for nearly every interest. Your student can explore and connect with them in BullsConnect.

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