LIFE IN TAMPA BAY

The University of South Florida is located in the Tampa Bay area with campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota-Manatee. Situated along Florida’s gulf coast, the Tampa Bay area is celebrated for sunshine, mild winters, world-renowned beaches, miles of beautiful bay views, and a diverse food scene.

In addition to over 165 parks and beaches, Tampa Bay is home to several museums, theme parks, attractions, and music, art, and cultural festivals, including Busch Gardens, Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park, the Florida Aquarium, the Dali Museum, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. Sports fans cheer for hometown favorites including the three-time Stanley Cup champions the Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL), two-time Super Bowl champions the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL), the Tampa Bay Rays (MLB), and of course our beloved USF Bulls!

Our rich culture is thanks to our diverse communities, particularly our thriving Hispanic population both in the city and at USF. With deep Cuban roots, Tampa is nicknamed, “Cigar City,” as it was once the cigar capital of the world (our Cuban sandwich is pretty famous, too). The Tampa International Airport has ranked best of U.S. airports, and was most recently named in the top 3 by Condé Nast.

Tampa Bay has a vibrant economy, no state income tax, and is 8% below the national average for cost of living. It is home to some of the best healthcare facilities in the U.S., including H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute (located on the USF Tampa campus) and three hospitals ranked as “America’s Best Hospitals” by U.S. News and World Report. We welcome you and your family to call Tampa Bay home.
