I
find that my friends that are biology or business majors
have a much greater course load and more difficulty earning
high grades. However, I also find that the English
professors are incredibly helpful and inspiring teachers. I have
found all of my English professors appreciate out-of-the-box ideas and
creativity. I am also involved in the Honors
Program at UT and find that the Honors classes are
at the level of difficulty that all the classes at
the university should be. I have also learned the
most in these classes.
As far as school spirit-there is
none. Sporting events consistently have low attendance. There
are a variety of clubs, and many people take great
interest in them. I think University of Tampa is
definitely a school that “makes or breaks” students. It
is easy to forget about classes and studying. Many
students are apathetic. However, there are many intelligent students
here-they are just too busy having a good time to
show it. I have had very stimulating conversations about
politics, literature, and other topics with students that are on
the brink of failing out.
While I would
attend a different university if given the chance, I still
am not actively pursuing any idea of transferring. I
can't think of any other school I would go to
honestly.
