This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at USF chapter.
  • A is for ANDROS. As much as we hate these outdated dorms, we can’t help but think of all the memories that we’ve had in them.

  • B is for BULLS! Without a doubt, every time you hear this word, you associate it with our mascot.

  • C is for CDBs. You’ve most likely spent at least one Thursday night here, or so you remember.  

  • D is for DIVISION-1 sports on campus. We may not be the best, but at least, we aren’t the worst!

  • E is for ENGINEERING majors you wish you were smart enough to be.

  • F is for FOWLER Avenue, the address of our beloved school that has the worst traffic I’ve ever seen.

  • G is for GREEK Life. Chances are you know someone who’s Greek, despite our campus being so large and diverse.  

  • H is for HOT band. After they covered Beyonce’s songs at one of the football games, they became the coolest band in the nation.

  • I is for our INTO Program, where we welcome international students from all over the world.

  • J is for JUDY Genshaft, the one and only. Need I say more?

  • K is for the KICKOFF balloon drop event at the beginning of the fall semester at the MSC. *Cue the arrival of all the freshman*

  • L is for the LIVING Learning Communities all over campus. I’ve lived in one for the past two years, and it’s been the best decision of my collegiate years thus far.

  • M is for the MARSHALL Student Center. Whether you’re there for Bull Market, the Food Court or an organization meeting, you will always run into someone you know at the MSC.

  • N is for NO Parking on Campus. Hence, why I will never move off campus.

  • O is for OASIS- the site you try to avoid because of all the debt you have accumulated.  

  • P is for the PUBLIX we are going to get on campus, come late next year. USF will become the first University in the nation to get a Publix on campus. Take that, UF.

  • Q is QUINTON Flowers. The quarterback that helped USF Football make history!

  • R is for ROCKY D. Bull, our mascot! Aside from Judy, he’s definitely the most well know person, or animal, on campus.

  • S is for SUN Dolls with their long straight hair and perfect bodies. Smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

  • T is for TAMPA, home of USF and the worst traffic ever.   

  • U is for how we are UNDERESTIMATED as a University, yet we are constantly rising in the ranks and making an even better name for ourselves.

  • V is for the VERY long wait at the Library Starbucks. No matter what time of the day, you can always expect to wait at least 10 minutes in line for your Grande Non-fat Soy Latte.

  • W is for our WOMEN’S Basketball team and how incredible they did last season.  

  • X is for XYLOPHONE because I’m sure the HOT band plays that instrument, and can you really think of anything better that starts with an X?

  • Y is for YIK YAK, the Gossip Girl of basically every college campus across the nation . This is also where every Florida state school hates on each other.

  • Z is for ZERO doubts of the continuing success of the University of South Florida
