@@anujinann6538 Hi! I believe they have available financial aid for international students (here is a link: www.ut.edu/admissions/financial-aid/financial-aid-for-international-students). I would recommend calling the school and asking them about scholarships you may be eligible for!
I’m from Tampa & I actually live downtown have you tried use the Downtowner? It used to be a free service but now it’s $1 per ride and it takes you to Publix they have a map of the area it can take you check it out and download the app!
hey! can you tell me more about your freshman year? I’m most likely committing in a few weeks and I’m super worried about making friends and finding people I click with! thanks so much for this video, loved it! I’m a dancer so I hope to join the dance sorority on campus!
Im attending UT fall 2021 and im super excited! One of the msot important questions is, Is there a large LGBTQ+ community there? Just pretty nervous of how things will be in Florida coming from California
hey can you let me know if those outdoor basketball courts they have on campus ever close? Do the lights turn off at a certain time or do they run all night allowing somebody to play whenever they want? thanks
You can park off-campus, but there are definitely limited places and no guarantee they'll be a spot open. But if you bring a car and don't register it through the school or park on campus they can't stop you
Loved the video! I’m from Norway, and I’m concidering applying in Tampa for 2021/2022. What is the age gap in the classes? I’m turning 21 this summer. Is it hard to get to know people for us who study abroad?❤️ I’ve never been in America
Depending on the class, there's usually a good mix of ages. Upper-level courses are typically only juniors & seniors but lower-level courses might have a few students in every grade. As for studying abroad, if you are living in the dorms meeting new people shouldn't be too difficult :) I would recommend looking into clubs & activities the school has to offer to help make new friends!
Thanks for uploading this! i've been thinking about applying to the university of tampa so thank you! one quick question I have is if there's an essay required for freshmen?
I’m not sure what dorms you’ve lived in but for freshmen dorms how did you like Vaughn vs morsani? I got accepted and I’m looking to put down my deposit for housing in just not sure which to pick. My tour only showed me McKay hall which I didn’t like to much. Also semi weird question but do you know if the bathrooms lock from the inside on both sides in Vaughn or morsani? I’m someone who just values privacy and was surprised to see ut didn’t just offer 2 people in a dorm with a communal bathroom. It seems Vaughn is the newest/ nicest imo for freshman?
Unfortunately, freshman do not pick their dorms.. they are assigned them (at least that's how it's been in the past). But to answer your question I personally loved Morsani because it was suite-style and had a common area in every 4-person room (morsani triples did not). It is also closest to the pool. However, Vaughn is also a really nice dorm, spacious, and closest to most classrooms. And yes, the bathrooms lock from inside haha don't worry
@@OliviaLeigh hahah okay thank you for the information. I really appreciate the help. I toured the school the other day and absolutely loved it. They said the sooner you submit your deposit the more chance you had to getting a "nicer room" so I took it as just the more sought after buildings. This video was very helpful! Thank you
Hii Olivia! thank you for making this video! would you say that some things have changed since you made this video? i am thinking of going to this university. thanks!💜
Not at all! Greeklife definitely gives a but of an extra push for social life but there are other ways to get involved on campus and meet new people (through clubs, classes, etc)!
I recently submitted my enrollment deposit to UT! Should I do anything in advance? Like Greek life paper work? I’ll be a Freshman. Do freshman get to choose a housing option?
Freshman do not choose their housing option, but I would recommend joining Facebook groups to find a roomates/roommates! Also, sorority recruitment signups are towards the end of the summer so you don't have to worry about that now
Off the top of my head, there are limited visitors, hybrid courses (only 18 students are allowed in a classroom per session), dining options/hours, etc. They have a 'spartan shield' plan in place, which you can find on their website! (Here is the link: www.ut.edu/campus-life/student-services/dickey-health-and-wellness-center/covid-19-safety-and-education)
😔 I really wanna apply! I have a 4.3 GPA! But I’m worried about the financial aid aspect! My mom makes under 20k and I’m not sure how loans work 😶 because I never thought I’d be interested but now I am
Definitely apply! UT is amazing! I'm a sophomore and I love it!! There are many resources that you can find regarding loans and how they work. Basically, loans are just money borrowed that will need to be paid back later. There are federal government loans you can apply to receive, and private lender loans too. My biggest suggestion though is to apply for as many scholarships as you can! With your strong GPA, you will certainly find scholarships available! Scholarships scholarships scholarships! Also, having a job and making/saving as much as you can will be a great habit to get into! Hope this helps! 😊😊
There will be a Facebook group created titled something along the lines of “University of Tampa Class of _____” and once you join everyone posts about themselves and usually you reach out to others or they reach out to you if interested in rooming! There are also usually groupme’s and snapchats made for incoming freshman but the fb group is where it all starts
@@dontebates4004 if you don't mind me asking, what are your EC's? I'm a junior w/ around the same gpa, and just want to get an idea how difficult it is to get in.
U can park off campus downtown if u wanna pay hundreds for a garage or some people try to find street Parking but it’s a pain u gotta move your car and stuff for cleaning like every day. I’d leave the car at home for one year
