Great and helpful video! Thank you!
Yay!! I'm glad! Of course! Thank YOU dancelover for requesting this video! 😊
Thank you this was very helpful!
Of course! Thank you for watching and supporting!!
Such a well made & informative vid as always! & Thanks so much for the shoutout!! :)
Aww thanks so much Olivia and of course!! 😊😊
i just got accepted to UT so i’ve been looking at a lot of videos like these so tysm for the help. I’m still waiting to see if i get into any other Florida schools but ur vids helped make this school a top choice for me!
Congrats Hailey!! That’s awesome! I’m glad these videos have helped!! Woohoooooo! 😊
Solid vid dude grow the stash out 🤙🏼
Thanks Cam! I ended up shaving it off because it only grew on the sides and nothing grew in the middle haha. It looked pretty gross honestly! Thanks for commenting bro!
I am a rising senior at UT and I don’t know how I landed on your video but I remember researching the school and watching videos like this before I came here, and I’m so glad I did! Time really does fly by when you’re having fun, I wouldnt change my experience for anything
Yesss me too Juliana! Also a rising senior at UT over here! I agree entirely that time really does fly. I was walking on campus the other day before I moved out and I was watching the sunset by the river. I was just like “man, it’s almost over already? Didn’t I just start??” I feel like we missed out a little because of the pandemic, but we still made the most of it and have a whole year left! I totally relate to you! Thanks for this comment!
Loved this even though I'm out of college! I had never even heard of UT before I went down to USF for grad school. Super interesting that most students are from NY and NJ!
Aww thanks Kelsey! Yeah, I had never heard of the school either until I saw a flyer in the mail, and then when I came down here, a lot of other people were from the same area I was from!
what did you think of USF? and which campus? i’m looking at both USF and UT haha
Thank you for this! I’m conflicted about attending UTampa because I’m Christian and felt like because of the partying I would not be able to fit in. I don’t like to party. So it’s good to know that you can make friends and based on another comment you left there are Christian clubs as well.
For sure! I’m a Christian too, and the first I did was get involved in a Christian organization on campus, and tried to find a local church in tampa. Surrounding yourself as fast as possible with the right community is KEY!!
We are coming to visit in April. Can't wait! Any info on the undergrad Marine Science-Biology program would be appreciated!
Hi there! That's great! The Marine Science-Biology program is great here at UT, but it is very hard. A lot of students switch majors because of the demand that it brings.
Hi Jared, my son is one of the several hundred freshmen affected by the housing situation. He may defer for a year and hopefully be given "priority housing" for fall 2022. Fingers crossed. Thank you for addressing this in your video. My son chose this school due to the new Computer Science major, Honor Program, small class size and being near/in a big city. And funny, we are from the Northeast lol! (Rhode Island).
Hi Dawn! I’m really sorry that your son is one of the freshmen affected by the situation! If he does defer, hopefully he can get that priority housing. A lot of people I know are excited about the new computer science program because it’ll make things so much easier than what computer science majors had to do in the past! Maybe he can take some classes at a local community college that can transfer credit over during this time to save money! And yes! Those are all things I love about the school too! I was in the Honors Program my freshman year, and I am also from the Northeast! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Very interesting! I graduated in 1990. I was fortunate to be on campus all four years. Best school ever, found lifelong friends.
Wow! That's amazing! Thanks for sharing! ☺
hey!! I decided to go to UT for it’s allied health major, I love the fact that it offers a physical therapy concentration. I’m also a dancer and the fact the dance building is brand new is amazing!! I’m so excited to minor and take part in college showcases. finally, my goal has to always leave NY and go somewhere new and experience so many new things! I also was admitted as apart of the honors program and freshman research program. so excited!
Hey!! I can relate to ALL of that! That’s awesome that you’re going to UT for allied health, physical therapy, and dancing! The new dance building is BEAUTIFUL! I took a dance class at UT and I loved it, and I’ve been to a BUNCH of the dance showcases! I’m from out of state as well, so I too wanted to leave my state and go somewhere new! I was in the honors program too when I first came to UT, but decided to leave the program because I didn’t enjoy it! Excited for you! Thanks for commenting!!
@@JaredKauffman thank you so much!!
Of course!!
I went to UT because of its Criminology program! I had the opportunity to get super involved in organizations on campus and even off campus with non profits and other orgs. I got a job on campus and the connections and friendships I made kept me there ☺️
Yesssss Kat! That's really awesome! The connections that you can make if you're intentional are SO great!! Thanks for sharing! 😊😊☺️
How’s the program? I’m considering UT because of that too.
@@audreybrg I loved the program when I was there! They had a lot of really cool electives to take that were interesting to me! Their program focuses a lot on theory regarding why people commit crime and I loved that. The professors that I had were amazing too so it was honestly great haha All of them had extensive experience in the field and had so much to share and teach us. I will say though some of those professors have moved on to work at other college or decided to pursue something else so I can’t say much for who is teaching classes now, but I’m sure they’re great too! I hope that was helpful and let me know if you have any more questions!
The Criminology program is the reason I’m applying to UT. I pray and hope I get accepted in. I’m going back to school later in life. I’m in my 30’s
@@wisdomspeaks2010 that’s amazing!! Hoping you do get in!! Never too late to go to school!! ☺️
This was so much help as I am a British student considering tampa so I can't visit due to the pandemic so thx
Awesome! That’s great to hear! Trust me, I never visited/toured a single university during high school and managed to pick a college and LOVE IT! So, if you don’t end up getting to visit any schools, that’s okay!! Thanks for commenting! 😊
@@JaredKauffman Thank You this is extremely reassuring!
Of course!! I’m so glad it could help!
Hi Jared! I really liked the video! very informative and not too long. Good job! I'm curious about the psychology program at UT. Specifically Art Therapy. I haven't found any useful info about the major besides the school's website. Maybe one of your peers happens to be in any psychology classes? I'm basing my school decision on my major. Hope to hear from you soon and Happy New Year!.
Hey hey! Happy New Year to you too! Thank you for watching! I am not sure about the Art Therapy major, but I have a friend who got a minor in Psychology, and some friends who have taken psychology classes at UT. What specific info/questions do you have? I will try my best to answer! 😊
just toured UT and at first I wasn't looking forward to it. I really wanted to go to FAU in Boca. Once I got there man is it beautiful. I think that the best part of it is the people who go there. They seem so welcoming and my type of people. Hopefully I will get in and I'm so exited to go there.
That’s awesome Luke! Super happy for you! Thanks for commenting!! You’re absolutely right. The campus is beautiful!! Hoping you get in too!!
I graduated from UT in 1987. It was an EXCELLENT preparation for grad school and getting my M.S. and Ph.D. But I cant believe how much the school has grown and changed. My old dorm Delo Hall no longer exists! The only thing holing it up during hurricanes was the cockroaches holding hands and reinforcing the structure!!! Anyway cool video!!
That is AWESOME! Thanks for commenting this! Super cool! I can’t imagine how much UT has changed since you’ve been here! Gotta love the Florida cockroaches haha! Thank you for the great compliment! 😊
😂
I’m going to UT mainly because they have a good marine biology program. Other reasons are because they offer marine chemistry, I got a scholarship, the campus is beautiful and close to a city, and I wanted to go somewhere far from the northeast.
Yesss exactly Stuuwas2! Those are great reasons!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for supporting! I appreciate youuu!!
Hi Jared, awesome and very down to earth video! I graduated college many years ago (ie decades) and I'm going to take some classes in the fall. Are there any older students at UT that graduated college already and are so-called nontraditional?
Hi! Thanks for reaching out and watching my video! I have seen a handful of older students who are much older than most college students that are taking classes at UT. It's not common, but I have seen a few.
hi this was probably the more informative UT video i have seen and i’ll be checking out your other videos too :-)! i am a rising senior looking at UT and one of my concerns is the greek life/party school situation. i don’t really have an interest in joining a sorority and i’m not a big party person either. is it easy to make friends at UT without partying a lot or joining a sorority? and do you think the student body is nice?
Hey MudkipGirl111! I love your RUclips name! Big Pokémon guy over here! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I appreciate you so much and I'm so grateful for that nice comment!! 😊 You've come to the right spot because I also don't party and I am not super interested in the party scene. I've been able to make SO many friends even though I am not part of a fraternity/the party scene. I even found my girlfriend through an organization on campus and she also isn't part of the party scene. It is definitely easy to make friends at UT without partying, but, you just have to be intentional with where you're looking to make those friends. I do think the majority of the student body is nice, but as always, you'll find the occasional person you don't fully "click" with. Hope this helps!!
Hi Jared, Thanks for the video, it is really helpful! My daughter is considering UT as a Music Education major, do you have any insight into the music department?
They have a great music department! Brand new facility for the music and arts programs! Plenty of things to get involved in with the music department too. I don’t have specifics about the music Ed major, but I do know that the new Arts building is gorgeous and has new technology for the different arts majors. The building is called “The Ferman Center for the Arts”
Thank you for the video! Now I am clarified where to invest my scholarship. I'm curious, did they already build the new garage?
Yup the new garage is built! And, they’re building a new dorm, and the city of tampa is building a new student housing building just across from campus!
Hi Jared, thanks for this video. Super helpful. I didn’t check what year it was made; but do you know the freshman situation now? (If they’re allowed to have a car on campus and also if they still are required to live on campus? TIA!
Hi Dorothy! I think the housing situation is better now. Most freshman get on campus housing. This video was made in may of 2021. Freshman can’t have cars on campus for their freshman year, and that still hasn’t changed. If a freshman is a commuter student though, they are allowed to have their car on campus. Thanks for watching, and I’m glad my video helped!
nice video as a parent of a high school senior that was accepted for fall 22 i wasnt aware to the dorm/housing issue since your video was back in may has it gotten any better
Thank you! Honestly, I am not sure if the housing situation has gotten any better. I haven’t heard a lot about it this semester. I know nearby campus they are building new student-living apartments so that may help.
The housing at UT was an issue as far back as 1988 when I started as a freshman in the fall. That said, it wasn't a huge road block at all and didn't deter me from finishing my degree there and having some of the best college experiences I think I could have ever had. Honestly, it was such a minor "blip" and obviously not so bad that I remembered that aspect of UT my freshman year. Love UT, love beautiful Tampa and miss it so much, everyone is so friendly and accommodating...best city to live in in my opinion ( definitely beats Phoenix, AZ- desert living really stinks and people not as friendly and there's no Cuban food).
@@JaredKauffman hi jared been watching your videos for awhile now my daughter thank goodness did get housing on campus woohoo thanks again for all your insite on UT
@@arizonaaly-8319 wow!! This is such a cool story! Thanks for sharing this!
@@kerriwinkleman5810 hi! Yay that’s amazing news! Happy to hear this! Im glad i was able to give you some insight on UT!
Hi Jared! I just got accepted to UT and your videos have helped a great ton! I was wondering if you knew anything about the nursing program. I am trying to look into reviews and ask around but I don't hear much talk about the program. Do you have any insight on it? Would you or maybe any of your friends recommend it?
YES! My good friend just graduated from the nursing program and now works in a hospital. It was A LOT of work, but she made it through. If you have specific questions, I can ask her and then reply back to you! Congrats on getting accepted to UT!
@@JaredKauffman Thank you so much! So glad to finally hear something on it🤣 I’ll definitely get back to you if I have any questions!
hi!! loved ur video. both my parents went to UT so i’m definitely interested in going. i will be starting to apply the end of summer time. do you know if being a “legacy” heightens the chances of me getting into the school? thanks!!
Hey Abby! Thank you! That’s awesome that both your parents went to UT! I’m pretty sure it DOES heighten your chances of getting in, even if it doesn’t explicitly say it. I know you’ll probably get your application fee waived if there is one! That’s just my opinion/guess, because I bet UT would love to know that alumni’s kids are going to the school! Hope this helps! 😊
@@JaredKauffman awesome thanks so much!
Of course!! 😊
Hi! this video was super helpful. I was wondering, are the majors criminology and marine science and english good at UT?
Thanks! Yes! All of them are really good! Especially marine science and criminology.
Hey really nice video, as a student do i have to be stick to a metal plan or can i solve that on my own? How much it is a meal plan?
Hey William! If you live on campus, you need a meal plan. I’m pretty sure it’s a liability thing for the school. If you go to “dining.ut.edu” website, they have the meal plans listed and the smallest one you can have based on which dorm you’re living in as well as the prices. I also made a video on the meals plans here! ruclips.net/video/OwLBrgHnC04/видео.html if you live off campus though, you don’t need a meal plan. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting!
hi! i’m currently a junior and UT is my top school! i’m so glad i found your youtube channel, it’s been so helpful and nice :) I’ll be applying in a few months but i’m so nervous i won’t get in. i’m a very average student, average gpa (3.5 weighted hopefully will end with a 3.6 or 3.7 tho) some excs like working at a daycare, drama club, camp counselor, did dance for like 13 years, 250 service hours, educators rising, and will have an internship at an elementary school! i plan to major in elementary education btw. i’m worried this isn’t good enough haha. is it hard/really competitive?
Hey Jessie! Thanks for commenting!! So, I was in the exact same situation as you were. I was an average student. My test scores especially. My GPA was decent, and I was involved in some excs too. Honestly, I was SO nervous I wouldn’t get in. I remember seeing their acceptance rate of like 47% and thinking “I’m not gonna get in.” Honestly, I think a lot of people get in if they meet the requirements. I also was really intentional with my application essay. That’s the place where they get to see you. Who you are, what you care about, what makes you, you! I also applied early for the early action 2. I applied in December. I wouldn’t worry Jessie! Seriously! And also, you can always transfer to UT if you don’t get accepted for your first semester! You’re golden!! Hope this helps! 😊
@@JaredKauffman Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you responding back and being so helpful :)) Tomorrow I get to start working on my college in Ap Lang, i’m writing about something i’m really passionate about it and how it impacted me! I plan on applying early action 1 so hopefully that’ll help. UT is definitely my top and dream school, I’ve been watching and enjoying all your videos!! Thank you for all the great content😁
Awww Jessie that means so much! Your support is what motivates me to continue to make these videos!! That’s awesome that you get to start your essay tomorrow, and that you’ll be applying early action I! Good luck and thanks again so much for watching!!
Hi Jared !
I am sorry , what is your major ? And what about business school here ? Is it strong ?
Hey Julem!! Thanks for commenting! My major is Communication. And yes, the business school is REALLY strong here at the University of Tampa! 😊
Where is that second scene that you went to? If you don’t mind sharing, cheers
It's back in my hometown! There was a nice field there!
Hi Jared, thank you for the video, I am deciding between utampa and fairfield right now. I was wondering if you knew anyone that was a business major that had a good experience? thank you so much!
Hi there! Thanks for commenting. I know of people who are business majors who really enjoy it. The classes can be hard, but the campus makes the school life/personal life balance great.
I toured here and they said that the school was one of the best for business in the country, never heard of the other school though!
Do you know anything about the marine biology program? I'm in college in Wisconsin right now for music, but I think I want to be a marine mammal trainer instead.
Hey Alex! That’s fun! Marine bio is very demanding here at UT from what I’ve heard. So many people I know change majors because of how demanding it is. Lots of science. Organic chemistry is a beast to tackle. But, if you think you’re up for it, you can do it!
what do recommend doing ab car situation for freshman year i am gonna be be forming but i plan on coming back weekends for mys osccet
soccer
Im wondering the same thing loll
I didn’t fully understand the question. But if I got it right, for freshman if you’re living on campus, you can’t have a car on campus. If you live off campus and commute, you just need to get a parking pass from the campus safety office and it’ll last the whole year! Hope this helps!
Just cause we're from the northeast, doesn't mean we're bad peopleeee :)
You're right!
Hi Jared, could you tell about ms in business analytics in UT. It is good in UT or I need to go for other university and I'm Christian, finding friends in UT it is hard?? Please give your valuable information 🙂
Hi! I am not familiar with the MS in Business Analytics program here at UT. I imagine that it is good, but I am unsure. Sorry! I think UT is a good school because I met so many people here. You can do that anywhere though. UT is a great location for me, but it may not be for you. I am also a Christian. UT has a couple Christian orgs here on campus, but there are also a ton of churches in the area. I got connected to a church here in Tampa as well as one of the Christian organizations called Cru here on campus. I have loved both SO much! They have transformed my time in college. Making friends isn't hard since you're around so many people and there are so many ways to get involved while on campus. BUT, it may be hard to find genuine, life-giving, truth-speaking friends that will really speak "life" into you here. I found those friends through Cru on campus, as well as through my church here in Tampa. You have to put in the effort to find the right people. Hope this helps!
Hii jerad , you are doing great work . Your videos are so informative.I got admit university of Tampa but the thing is I need to pay 300$ pre enrollment deposit .can I know approximately how much is the total cost is going to be ??
Hi Revant where are you from?
@@sidhuehwar6373 I'm from AP @india
Have u joined in UT
Have u joined in ut
I’m a Christian and I feel like it’s hard to be one here in Chicago Illinois where I’m from which is why I applied to Tampa. Does UT offer a good nursing program? I’d like to get a masters too and become a physician assistant one day!
Yes! UT has a great nursing program. My close friend just graduated from the program. It’s hard to be a Christian here too in Tampa unless you get connected to good community. It’s hard, but it’s doable! Let me know if you have any questions about the nursing program or about Christian community at UT!!
I’m transferring to UT this year as a sophomore. Is it easy to meet friends?
Hey Mackenzie! That’s awesome! In my opinion, if you’re intentional about making friends, and make the effort to actually make friends, you’ll have no problem! The majority of transfer students and incoming freshman are all looking to make friends too so you’re not alone. Just be authentic, intentional, and put in the effort to find your people! Hope this helps!!
Hi…Thanks Jared for the informative video. My son is passionate to get into UT for computer science for undergrad. And I am insisting him to get into USF considering the ranking of these universities. Does ranking of the universities really matters when it comes to get a good job opportunities in Tampa after completing engineering.
Hi Kavita! Thanks for commenting! Honestly, I don’t think it matters where you go to school when it comes to getting a job. Most jobs want to see that you have experience/connections so, depending on where he goes, look at how he can get experience (internships, part time jobs in his field, etc.) and who he can meet that can help him get connected with a good job. Especially since UT and USF are both in Tampa and both are known schools, I don’t think it matters which school he decides. If I could go back in time, I’d choose the cheaper school but, engineering and computer science will payoff really quick since it’s a really good major and job field to be in! Hope this helps!
Let ur son do what he wants it’s his life he goes where he wants
If you are in engineering or applied science (also computer science) , UT sucks. Their program is newer and weak. No good teacher is going to choose to work there. I’ve worked for big defense contractors in engineering and usually the engineering and computer departments supplement each other. Also, UT is a poor university and weak research which mean they do not get world class teachers for students to be under and then they also do not have graduate level engineering departments so again you won’t get much bang for your buck. No defense contractor or military branch is paying for major research on UT and that is where the money comes to supplement the students.
UT does not have engineering department to go with their computer science program.
@@JaredKauffman Thank you
Hi! I am now leaning towards UT. Have you ever seen any Japanese full-time/part-time students in UT?
Hi Ryo! Yes yes yes i have! One of my good friends is from Tokyo Japan! His name is Rin! He is so cool! And I have seen other Japanese students here too!
Thank you! Is the baseball club at UT super active/strong? And also, I heard Sports Management Major is pretty popular at UT, but do you happen to know how popular is it?
@@tkg1107rio the baseball Club and team at UT are really active and strong based on what I’ve seen! I don’t know exactly how popular it is, but I know someone who got their major from UT in sports management, and I know of atleast 2 or 3 people personally who are majoring in sports management! There are more too!
Do you guys get to work/you know someone who works as a student worker in sporting events or like athletic clubs’ games? (Like helping sell tickets etc)
@@tkg1107rio yup! My one friend takes videos and pictures for the sporting events! Not sure about the ticket booth!
Hi my name is Kailyn and i just got offered a huge scholarship there that is making me lean towards going there. However i am nervous because I’m religious and don’t really like the party scene but is scared I’m going to lean into it as a way to make friends. Is there a lot of good Christian groups that are easy to get involved in at UT? I come from the Bible Belt so my best friends are my church friends and I love having connections like that and I’m scared I’m not going to have those type of friendships if I move away.
Hey Kailyn! Congrats on the scholarship! That’s awesome!! I was in your exact same shoes. I was SO nervous I’d lose my faith and not be able to make friends who were also Christians and then eventually leave the faith. However, the exact opposite happened. I’ve been deeper in my faith than I’ve ever been, and I have a great community. UT has 3 notable Christian orgs. We have Cru, InterVarsity, and FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). I am a part of cru and have been since my freshman year. With cru, they also are connected to local churches in the area, so I’m plugged into a church community here in tampa too. There a ways to get connected to the RIGHT community, as long as you’re INTENTIONAL about prioritizing those decisions. Trust me, if you’re intentional and make the effort to find a solid community, you’ll experience a great joy and an AMAZING experience here at UTampa. That’s what happened with me! I also made a whole video on this idea on my channel and here’s the link! Hope this reply and video helps! ruclips.net/video/OGiPOxd2410/видео.html
@@JaredKauffman thank you so much this helps a ton I really appreciate it you just relieved a lot of my anxiety! Going to college and not being able to find a good Christian group is like my biggest fear right now and this just helped a bunch!
Awww you’re welcome! I’m glad this helped! I know exactly how you are feeling. Trust me, I know how scary it is. If you really want to find a good community, you have to be strong and put that effort in! Again, I literally was scared I wasn’t going to make Christian friends. Now, all my closest friends that I spend my time with are Christian. You’ve got this!!!
I'm looking to go into Marine biology. Is this a good school for that?
Yes! I know a good amount of people in the Marine Bio program and I know they enjoy it! I think UTampa is known for their marine bio program too since we’re right on the bay and it’s easy to go out, get scuba certified and then go. It’s a difficult program though. Hope this helps!!
Oh i forgot one more question-Is the gym big?
The gym is fairly big! They just expanded it too! There’s a cardio floor, a weight floor on the second floor with machines and cables, there’s a powerlifting room, and a bunch of “yoga rooms” with wood floors and mirror walls to stretch and such. They also have a spin cycle room where they host spin classes on bikes.
Hi I have a question so at the beginning of the video you said incoming freshman cant have a car on campus but then you said later in the video that if u have a. car parking is hard. so is it that freshman cant hv cars on campus or just that the parking is hard?
Hey! Both! As a freshman, you can’t have a car on campus if you live ON CAMPUS. If you live off campus as a freshman, you CAN have a car but need to get a parking pass from the campus safety office that shows that you’re a commuter student. Parking is hard in general for all people. Hope this helps! :)
Hi jared, Im from ND, but theres a college fair coming up and UT will be there, and i'm considering applying. Do you know how good the business program is there? Also are there opportunities for internships, traveling(school related), etc? One last question-How is the student life in terms of events, socials, etc. Thanks! :)
Hey Hannah! Thanks for commenting! The business program is good here! Lots of connections you can make within the program. Yes, there are lots of internship opportunities and traveling abroad programs. The school host internship events where you can meet employers who you can potentially intern with. There are a ton of student events on campus, but majority of the student life enjoys to go out on the weekends to clubs and bars. I don’t enjoy that stuff, but I’ve still managed to find my community here!
Jared, tell me please what is going on with situation with masks ? Did administration talk about fall ?
Hey! So, the administration said that when you are inside of the buildings, you need to wear masks. When you are outside, it is up to you if you want to wear a mask or not. They said that those who are not vaccinated should still wear a mask outside if you cannot social distance, but I’m not sure if that will be enforced. Hope this helps!
@@JaredKauffman Hi Jared !
thank you for reply. My relative would like to apply but he doesn’t want to take vaccine. I am afraid that he would be forced to wear mask forever because of it. Public universities only recommend to wear mask now, not require.
@@miracle7113 Yeah, as of now that’s what the policy is with masks. I’m not sure if they will change it in the future, but I think they will at some point!
I wanna go to ut because my family is moving to Tampa lmao
Yess Luca! Nothing wrong with that! That's awesome bro! 🔥😎
@@JaredKauffman yessss!! I’m so exited
@@lucacarpanetto6322 woohoo! Let’s gooooo!

I am planning for business analytics, is this a better university than university of texas(dallas) and depaul university. PlZ let me know if you have knowledge about these universities
Hi! I do not know if UTampa is better than those other schools, but if I were you, I would pick the cheapest one out of the three. If you can get the same degree for a lower price, that’s where I’d recommend you go.
Hi rishi did u joined in ut
The Bolts won the Stanley cup for the second year in a row
They sure did!!! Crazy!!
Is Ut hard to get into and do they have good law classes?
I was a fairly “average” student regarding my SAT scores, but I was involved in a lot during high school. I don’t think UT is super hard to get into and yes, I think they have good law classes! I have a few friends who are doing pre-law classes! Here’s a link to a video I made on how I got into UT! ruclips.net/video/g1I27EXdTy0/видео.html
@@JaredKauffman Thank you so much, I want to be a lawyer someday so I'm thinking about going there for undergrad.
@@hannarehm3518 of course! You’ve got this!!!
Why is it considered a negative thing (Con) that many students are from the NorthEast?
Hi Melissa! I put it in the Cons list because I am from the NorthEast and one of my biggest desires was to get out of the NorthEast. I am physically out of the NorthEast, but so many people are from the NorthEast here that it feels like I really haven't left sometimes. Also, I just wanted to meet new people from all over the U.S. and from different countries. So, a lot of people I run into are from the New Jersey, New York, NorthEast area. Most of the students in my classes are also from the NorthEast. Hope this helps!
hello ,
i’m new in Florida
i’m looking for genetics
Why does everyone say it's expensive?? It's the cheapest private university I know of in the US!
Fair fair! For someone who chose to take out loans, I have a lot to pay back 😰
Quick question… Where does UT stand politically? Are politics talked about a lot with the school?
I don’t think UT specifically is affiliated with any political party. I’ve met a lot of students who lean left and lean right. It really depends on your classes and who you hangout with. As a communication major, politics and issues in society are talked about often, but like, if you’re a biology major, I’m not sure that they’re talk about often. The school has addressed certain issues, but they don’t generally (based on what I’ve observed) take a political stance. The majority of the professors I’ve had seem to lean to the left, but again, those are my communication professors who talk about issues because that’s what communication deals with in some capacity. Hope this helps!
What about ut off campus part time jobs
If you have a car or a bike, it’s totally an option! You could probably Uber or take the bus too, but that costs money. Depending on what kind of job you want, there are restaurants nearby, a Walmart nearby, and some fast food spots that you could work at that are walking distances away.
How good do you think is UT for masters?
Hey Prajwal! I think UT has a great Master’s program. My girlfriend got her masters in criminology and criminal justice, and she was able to do it really quick. I’m pretty sure UT offers a lot of acceleration programs so that you can receive your masters degree in less time than normal! Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting!
Hey jarad,
Iam from India and applied for MS Business analytics at UT.
I want to know about the ut is it good?
What about international students? (Especially Indians)
Hey Dheeraj! I think UT is really good! It is expensive, but it is good! I think I have seen a lot of Indian international students. I have gotten a lot of comments from people in India who are also wanting to go to UT for school.
Hii dheeraj, are you in UT now
Hi dheeraj please let me know about accomodation there
Just you mentioning the fact that your christian and don't really like parties like that made feel ten times better about your opinion about UT
Aww yay! Thank you for that! I am so happy I was able to help!! I made a video about how I made friends at UT without partying that might be helpful too! Thank you for commenting! 😊 ruclips.net/video/OGiPOxd2410/видео.html
Why did you choose to go to UTampa for school? Or, why do you want to go to UT?? Let me know! 😊😊 Don't forget to grab a good backpack for college over here amzn.to/3pjvLXp (affiliate link)
It's a sports city. Perfect for my major
Yesss so true Sanchez!
I got accepted with a 3.1 GPA and 1050 SAT. It’s like anyone can get into that university. I’m going to USF cause it’s way better than university of tampa
Woohooo! Congrats!
I have very similar stats and want to go to UT, did you get a scholarship or any aid with those stats?
Your videos are great, but I gotta say … we “New Jerseyans” are on the WRONG list! 😜
Thank you for watching my videos!! And hahah! Nothing against New Jerseyans! My mom is a native New Jerseyan! I enjoyed this comment 😂
Real Estate Clubs/ Courses? Agent here want to go just for the experience and to grow my knowledge of real estate
Hey! Not sure about real estate classes, but I know there’s a marketing major, a marketing club, and other financial courses/clubs on campus.
I just checked! There IS a real estate club here on campus!
