University of Tampa

Daughter went to a college fair and loved Univ of Tampa. Doesn't seem to be well known. I think she liked the look of the school and the spiel from the representative. Any know much about it?

Everything about it is mediocre and everyone gets in.

Friend’s DD goes there and loves it. Beautiful living environment. She enjoys her classes, which are primarily 30 students or fewer. I don’t think you are going to get the resources of a state school but has other pluses.

Helpful. Thanks. Can we please stop with these comments about every school that is not Ivy, UVA or SLAC.

Agree that wasn't a helpful comment. Also its not true that its mediocre or that everyone gets in.

The acceptance rate is a decent 50%

It ranks 20 out of Southern Universities.

Those are some decent stats.

It's a pretty-looking school in a better part of Tampa, but, yes, mediocre in every sense. Why specifically does she want to go there? What does she plan to study, and what does she plan to do afterwards? If she plans to stay in Tampa, it could make sense as a choice, but then why not look at USF instead?
