Please do not be blinded by the beauty of this campus; there is NO sense of community, no football team, no frat houses, this is not your typical COLLEGE experience. SO.... if you ae looking for that - look elsewhere - you're in the middle of a city with people walking and driving right through the center of campus. Academics are mediocre, housing is sparse, and they don't call it U T RANSFER for nothing.

UT is an excellent institution and getting better. Lots of new buildings and facilities. With our teen granddaughter we attended a wonderful introduction talk and then a well organized and informative walking tour of the campus. The leaders were excellent and the information succinct and comprehensive. Seems our granddaughter may have been impressed enough to apply soon!

We visited the campus when we were at the Plant Museum. We walked around a bit. Lots of construction going on - which is a positive sign for a University. The old Tampa Hotel is an outstanding architecture highlight of the campus. We also liked the chapel’s design.

We were visiting our grandson. He took us on a tour of the buildings and sports area. This is a small to medium campus but so beautiful. We were impressed by the cleanliness, the architecture and the foliage. Lots of new buildings. Lots of great restaurants near by.

Beautiful campus just spent the day walkin round the dang place. Finished the day being escorted off campus by the local police because I told a group of women's rights activists to suck a lemon.

The campus is nice and the location is also amazing, but do not go here to study.
Do not go to the University of Tampa. There is no sense of community on campus since we do not have a football team and sports in general on campus are not even a thing. No one goes to the stadium to get involved. Most students are lazy and only like to party from Thursday- to Sunday. There is no diversity at all (everyone is from the northeast, specifically Long Island and they are going to judge you if you are not from there) there are just a few organizations to be involved on campus. There are more frats and sororities than true organizations. The food is terrible and I am not picky at all. Food is not fresh and everyone tells you that is disgusting. The university does not have a good reputation within the city and it is worse across the country. It is maybe ranked number 500 in the nation and it is very costly for what they offer. DO NOT GO TO THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA. Going here was literally the WORST DECISION OF MY LIFE. You will probably be depressed if you come here.

Our son transferred here and he loves it. The campus is small and well laid out. A great combination of unique architecture and modern buildings. Great feel and convenience Everything is very convenient with the city of Tampa and beaches, nearby.

Are there any tours providing information on the history and architecture of this gem?
Written 20 August 2018
Hello - No tours that I know of. Your best bet is to go through the Henry Plant museum. The first exhibit is a 20 minute video that covers the history and architectural choices. Very interesting. Take lots of pictures. Then go over to the students side and observe the youngsters that probably have no clue what the have every day. If you have time walk north towards the river and see the other buildings that most people don't know are there. And finally, take the Pirate water taxi which goes up the river and see these buildings from a different viewpoint. Hope this helps. Mike Gill
