I will say I'm glad they gave us an address to the exact building but parking was not clear. You have to park in a paid parking lot which I thought was a little bit odd. The student ambassadors are all very informative and are willing to answer any questions you have along the way. They show you the major highlights around campus including one of the dorms. Great tour.

STUDENT AND STAFF PRIVACY AND SAFETY ALERT…read more Please be aware that there are 20+ Flock cameras on campus currently, all of which are live streaming to the internet for anyone, anywhere to see. I am a lifetime resident of this area and an alumni of this university, this is a violation of our 4th amendment rights. License plate readers do not belong in Universities. This security footage is not protected and is not only viewable to law enforcement and employees of this school, but also anyone with access to the internet. I fully support security surveillance for protective measures but I full heartedly believe that there should be consumer protections implemented to ensure the privacy and protection of students and staff. There are numerous alternative security systems that could be implemented by USF, yet they have chose to utilize a highly controversial technology with documented vulnerabilities and security breaches.

Runnnn as fast as you can from this school. Specially California residents All you have heard from…read morethis school is true. It should actually have 0 stars. They keep telling you - they are going to get accredited and it is all Lies. That's how they keep students enrolled, and months turn to years. This is a fake so called school of nursing. The owner Jena is the most unprofessional person there is in all Tampa. After making us go back and forward for 4 rotations of clinicals (10 days each) 40 days and actually had 5 shifts at a nursing home (that all they let you do is vital signs and CNA work). No hospital or any other clinical experience. She will send you to volunteer at shelters, sort clothes or do dishes, go door to door to recruit people for church and babysit. Whatever she can find for free but nothing nursing related. She does not have clinical sites - no one allows her even in the parking lot around Tampa. For someone who is just starting nursing school this is the wrong choice, even for LPN to RN. You actually go to hell and back, and be ready to be treated like a doormat from the owner and the instructors. No president of the school, no departments. She is a CON who keeps getting money from working adults with a need to further their education. I have reported her to the department of education and the Florida board of nursing but like every CON they keep getting away with it. If you have similar experiences report it to FL board of nursing and Florida department. FDOE Commission for Independent Education (CIE). And the Florida attorney general. You should see the news investigation - Google it, and the court records for Jena Fadziso dba Tampa Medical College. We can not keep letting this type of people in business. I knew I should have left a long time ago but like I said she kept lying to us and promising the accreditation. For people in California she has never had anyone been able to transfer one license. She will not meet the requirements because they are going to see they are all shelters and non hospital experience .

This statement documents my experience as a current student at Hillsborough Community College and…read morethe ongoing misconduct involving Student Advisor Gary Iglesias, along with the institution's failure to provide transparency, accountability, or compliance with federal student privacy obligations. Over the past four years, Mr. Iglesias has repeatedly referenced my student information in ways that fall outside legitimate educational interest. On multiple occasions, he made comments about my GPA directly to my children -- an inappropriate and unprofessional disclosure of student information that no advisor should be making. This pattern demonstrates a long term disregard for boundaries and raises serious concerns about improper access to my records. In recent months, his conduct escalated dramatically. Mr. Iglesias initiated welfare checks, contacted the Department of Children and Families, and contributed to false contempt allegations in court -- all based on inaccurate information and conducted outside the college environment. These interventions had direct consequences for my family and legal matters, and they appear to have been influenced by his access to my student records and his position within the institution. When I attempted to file a formal grievance, the college minimized the seriousness of the situation. I was informed only that my student account had been "flagged" or "restricted," yet the institution refused to provide the underlying documentation, rationale, or audit trail explaining: * who accessed my records * why the flag was placed * what information was used * whether my records were disclosed outside the institution As a student, I have clear rights under FERPA to inspect and review my education records, including advising notes, account flags, restrictions, and any documentation containing personally identifiable information. The college's refusal to provide these records -- while acknowledging that my account was flagged -- raises significant concerns about improper access, misuse of information, and noncompliance with federal privacy law. My concern is straightforward: a student advisor has used his position for four years to reference, comment on, and potentially access my information for purposes unrelated to legitimate educational interest, culminating in external interventions that no advisor should be involved in. The college has not provided transparency, corrective action, or any indication that it has investigated the misuse of student information. This experience reflects a breakdown in professional ethics, student record governance, and institutional oversight. Students deserve advisors who act within the boundaries of their role, institutions that take grievances seriously, and full transparency when their records are accessed, flagged, or used in ways that affect their lives outside the classroom.

During a trip to Tampa, my buddy and I checked out the University of South Florida. USF has a large campus and it seems like more of a commuter school. We drove through it because we didn't really spot an area of campus that would be fun to walk. Most campuses have a quad that's picturesque but we weren't able to find USF's version if they have one. Not too impressive of a campus compared to others I've seen but maybe we just didn't run into the right area.

It halted all my career plans due to academic advising errors. They are now holding me back from graduation until Spring 2025 over ONE credit (approximately 1/3 of the credits of a typical course), after their mistakes (i.e. not changing my major in the system so I couldn't sign up for classes for two entire semesters) cost me two semesters already. I was supposed to graduate Spring 2024. Then they denied my application to be a transient student at UWF for that one credit. Of course it's because they just want the money, it's evident they don't care about their students at all.

This school is absolutely horrible. I would never recommend it to anyone. Why you ask? Simple,…read morebecause they merged with another school without informing the students, then they decided they were not going to carry my degree anymore. What this meant is I had to leave for financial reasons in hopes that I could return 6 months later after being in a better position but their financial aid department neglected to tell me that if I did the aforementioned I would end up owing the school thus negating the ability to save money to return. Oh and did I mention if I didn't return in a timely manner my degree would be gone to them dropping it and be replaced by a "similar degree" where none of my credits I earned previously would carry over and I would have to start from scratch. This school is horrible, outsources its help once you leave the school they no longer will even talk to you, I would never recommend this school to anyone. Please do what my wife is doing and attend Fullsail if you intend on doing anything creative, don't waste your money on the International Academy of Design & Technology errrr I mean "Sanford Brown College".

My daughter's safety was in jeopardy by an unruly roommate that had no respect for herself let alone the other roommates. My daughter told her RA and the Residence Office that guys were coming into the room at all hours of the night "expecting to get some". In addition, this roommate would lash out both verbally and physically (on video no less and yes the school is aware) and the school did NOTHING about it. When my daughter asked to switch rooms, they made her go through hell and back and guilted her for not problem solving herself. They upset her so badly that she was visibly upset and her other roommate had to come to the office to get her to calm her down. She finished out the semester and transferred out. Not only did I file a Title IX sexual harassment report that they buried but they also put a sanction on her so that she couldn't transfer easily to another dorming college. This school is not free. I paid tuition for my daughter to be harassed by her roommate and then her school. Shame on you UTampa. No wonder the retention rate is so awful. For those parents that worry about their children away at school, this is not the school for your kid.
