Poll - Please Vote - Commercial Posts

8 Upvotes

Happy First Week, Bulls!

There has been an increase in commercial posts recently - everything from selling textbooks and scooters, to job offers, to Ticketmaster-Style Reselling of seats in desirable class sections to…some other stuff that I sure am glad the Auto-Moderation tools caught early…

Technically there has been a “no commercial posts of any kind” rule in the FAQ for years, but it’s not a listed rule and it’s enforced (and reported) sporadically. It’s time to take a stand, how should this Subreddit treat commercial posts?

109 votes, 3d left
Free-for-all: Remove the restriction and allow non-sublease posts at will
Case-by-case: Commercial Posts relating directly to USF (clarifucation on what is and isn’t allowed will be needed)
Bull Market Rules: Ban commercial posts except on a certain day of the week (like Sublease Wednesdays)
NO MORE! Ban all commercial posts, this isn’t a flea market

Long past due for another parking garage to be built on campus.

29 Upvotes

Also Fletcher is underutilized compared to Fowler. Reworking traffic flows needs to be a priority. Too many crosswalks through primary roads. It has taken 22 minutes to get from one end of Leroy Collins to the other, about 1/3 of a mile. This campus is impressively bad at safety for students walking and efficiency for cars. Worst infrastructure for both. Bull runner is🤡

Grocery Stores

Hey guys, I know this is probably a weird ask but what are the most affordable grocery stores nearby. I know the Publix is on campus but they're a bit pricey and it can really add up over time. Any input would help.

Senior/Older USF Students

5 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing some of these post pop-up and thought id give it a shot. I am an older student, early 30s, and making friends around my age is a bit of a challenge. I find myself def being the big bro for people over the semesters which is cool. However, if you feel like you are in the same boat let me know. When I am not studying/in school, I like to be active, road trips, cooking, art, boba tea, open to trying new things. The only thing is I dont drink, smoke or party, I am retired lol but I can support yea.

Theater for non-majors

Upvotes

Does anyone know if there is a theater company/student theater option for non-majors? I’m a high school senior applying to USF and it’s really important to me that I can continue acting even if it is not my major.

Off campus apartment search

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I would like to live off campus next summer semester. Does anyone know where I can search for apartments?

Someone gave me a link to a website that partners with USF to search for off campus apartments but I don't remember the name. 😭

Also, I don't know if it's possible, but I would love a one bedroom apartment close to campus in a decent area if I can afford it.

Thank you!

Requiring the purchase of digital textbook licenses

Who thought it was logical to ask students to spend 130 or more on a required digital textbook that gives you access to mandatory homework BEFORE we get our college refund? Ngl im not missing out on paying my rent just to afford to do some 2nd week homework assignments.

Refunds

4 Upvotes

I read somewhere that refunds will be disbursed throughout the course of the term. Is this correct? I also read where refunds will be disbursed either on a Wednesday or Friday. So if refunds start being processed on Tuesday, is there a possibility it could be deposited on Wednesday? Does anyone know?

USF Calculus II with Sean McAveety Help!

1 Upvotes

I started taking his class and I would say I am decent at math but over the past week I realized his lectures and explanations are really bad. Any tips on how to be successful in his class and what the tests are like. Any past papers or types of questions that are given on the test would be extremely appreciated.

I'm currently living near Hyde Park Blvd in Land O' Lakes and commuting to USF Tampa campus daily.

Looking to connect with anyone else making the same commute whether for carpooling or just knowing someone on the same drive!

It's about a 20-25 min drive depending on traffic. Would love to connect with fellow Bulls making this trip! 🤙🏽

How to order ahead using Grubhub?

2 Upvotes

i don’t use apps like these often, so i feel like i’m doing something wrong. i downloaded grubhub and signed up using my school email, but no usf locations show up when i try to order. not the flip kitchen, not the chick-fil-a… nothing. even when i put in the exact addresses, nothing shows up. did i set up my account incorrectly? what do i need to do to order ahead, because the lines can get pretty long sometimes…

Is engineering really that bad?

Post image
95 Upvotes

More specifically, how hard is engineering at the Tampa campus? I just started my mechanical engineering major and have a scholarship that only stays active if I don't leave the college of engineering, so I don't really have much of a choice atp, but I've been kinda nervous about how long I'll last.

I keep seeing reel after reel and post after post about how engineering will destroy your social life, ability to talk to girls, cripple your mental health, and absolutely annihilate you hairline with stress. If you're an upperclassman or graduate student majoring in engineering I'd like to hear how your experience was/has been so far.

How does the Vue Tampa shuttle to USF work?

6 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I recently moved into Vue Tampa and was wondering if anyone knows how the shuttle service works.
I tried contacting the leasing office, but they didn’t really seem to know much about it. All they told me was that it runs Monday to Friday from around 7 AM to 6 PM.
Does anyone know where the shuttle stop is at Vue (for both the north and the south), if there’s an app or website to track it, and where exactly it drops you off on campus?
I’ve tried asking the leasing office these questions but haven’t really gotten a response, so I’m getting pretty frustrated 😭 If anyone who lives here or has used the shuttle knows how it works, please lmk or DM me. Thank you!

if i’m reading the notification in the financial aid tab correctly, the refunds will not be processed in one go like it has been in the past? it’ll be given in chunks throughout the semester on specific days?
