Why Emily Chose USF: “I chose USF because of its incredible ‘feel’. The campus itself is extremely beautiful and just walking onto it I immediately could picture myself there. However, every single person that I encountered made me feel so welcome and were so genuine; that the people added to the ‘feel’ of the school in an extremely positive manner that made me immediately want to be incorporated and part of such an amazing atmosphere.”
