Tampa Campus Student Life

The moment you take in the lush palms and warm sunshine that brightens our Tampa campus each day, you’ll be ready to call the ͬÐÔÁµÉ«Çé home. We are happy to tell you, though, that the climate is just the beginning of what makes campus life at ͬÐÔÁµÉ«Çé so vibrant.

ͬÐÔÁµÉ«Çé is a boundless community with extensive student resources. As soon as you step foot on campus, you’ll feel the unique and unmistakable energy that characterizes student life at ͬÐÔÁµÉ«Çé.

Nearly 50,000 students come from across the United States and around the globe to achieve their dreams at ͬÐÔÁµÉ«Çé. They don’t just eat, sleep, study and attend class on campus. They reach higher. They collaborate, cultivate, engage, innovate, overcome and flourish here.

With more than 900 student organizations, plus 21 varsity sports, an active student government and a thriving arts scene, ͬÐÔÁµÉ«Çé truly has something for everyone. You can plan the Homecoming parade, learn to dance the Tango, cheer on the Bulls at Raymond James Stadium, write for , volunteer in the community and so much more! And be sure to visit our 28,000 square foot Recreation & Wellness Center – or its satellite locations (including Riverfront Park) – to work out, swim, climb the bouldering wall, take a group fitness class, kayak or play one of more than 30 intramural sports and join any of the 39 sport clubs (including Esports) offered on campus.

From concerts and basketball games in the Yuengling Center to Movies on the Lawn, celebrity lectures and gaming at the Marshall Student Center, students seize endless opportunities to make the most of their time at ͬÐÔÁµÉ«Çé. 

The Marshall Student Center is the place to eat, study and socialize. It allows all students from all backgrounds to communicate and experience ͬÐÔÁµÉ«Çé for the university it is. I have met and created some of the best friends and colleagues at the MSC, and we continue to utilize all the benefits it offers.

State-of-the-art residence halls at The Village offer expanded housing options for incoming students and upperclassmen, while cater to the diverse dietary needs of our campus. The state’s first on-campus Publix Super Market is situated adjacent to the residence halls and offers students convenient shopping, grab-and-go prepared foods, and indoor and outdoor seating areas.

And with the development of an on-campus stadium, it is an exciting time to be a student at ͬÐÔÁµÉ«Çé. The stadium will provide a unique, vibrant, shared campus experience that will contribute to the culture, spirit and connectedness of the university, not just during fall football games but throughout the year. 

Getting involved presents so many opportunities to meet all kinds of amazing and diverse people, and it expands your knowledge of the world around you – without even leaving campus!
