"Florida is a nice place for PhD. As long as you have a good professor, I advise you guys and if you don't like crowded city life, USF is one of the best. Florida is cheaper than many other states as well. And lots of nice beaches around where you can relax after overwhelming load of research work."

"I worked for USF Athletics since April 2013 after initially interning in a different department. The IT support department consisted of myself and a manager. Due to the lack of structure in the department it forced me to think on my feet and think critically to solve new problems."
