Without a doubt, USF has a beautiful campus. If you are anything like me, you love to take pictures and be in them, too. We all know the typical Instagram spots when taking a picture of USF, such as the walkway with flowers near the MLK lawn or the iconic bulls that are all over campus. This made me want to look for more unique places around campus to do mini Instagram photoshoots. I discovered five different places around campus that are Instagram-able.
MLK lawn

Let’s start off with the MLK lawn; one of many spots that people probably already know. This lawn is located in front of the Marshall Student Center and stretches until about the Fine Arts Building. All the trees around and the grass looks really good on camera which is why I think it qualifies as a good place to take pictures.
Engineering II Side Exit

This next one is a side exit and entrance to the Engineering building. This is located in between the Engineering II building and the Center of Urban Transportation Research. It includes a walkway with a wall with leaves and vines that are growing on the side. A plus is that there is barely any people who use this exit and entrance so no one will be in the background of your photos.
Walkway Between Cooper Hall and Education Building

The walkway between Cooper Hall and the Education building can definitely be one of the most crowded areas at USF, but usually when classes are going on or at a later time, this area is pretty empty. This is a great place to take some walking canids along the long pathway. The lines of trees in the background makes this area a good one to take some amazing photos.
Empty Grass Area

I am not really sure what to call this area, but it is the grass area around the Science Center and Chemistry building. There is so much green on this campus. This area is a nice place for an Instagram photoshoot because the empty and large field. Near this area there is a lake which also is a great place to take some photos.
BSN first level

Last, but not least, the first level of the business building has a bunch of trees and landscaping along the sides of the floor. This building is underground, so this landscaping makes it look like a grass wall background. I love how cute pictures look against this background and how it does not even seem like it would be located at a college campus.
