Florida universities are known for their successful football programs, exceptional academics, and exquisite architecture.

College students may take all this for granted, but what if they no longer had a college campus to call home? Where would they take their classes?

1. University of Tampa


Located practically adjacent to the nightlife UT students know and love, Hyde Park Village makes the nightly commute even more convenient. UT students would also have the luxury of being near Buddy Brew Coffee, one of the best coffee shops in all of Tampa, and Sprinkles Cupcakes, a bakery beloved by all for its colorful interior and rotating cupcake menu.

2. University of South Florida

Most USF students have already taken advantage of this high-thrills theme park located just five minutes from campus, so it makes sense that USF would hold classes here if they could. The Physics department would significantly improve, giving students an opportunity to learn the subject using real world examples and gain hands-on experience designing the next Busch Gardens Coaster. And think about it, communications classes just got a lot more interesting.

3. Florida Gulf Coast University

No FGCU student would wear t-shirts and sweats if they moved campus to Miromar Outlets. A generous student discount to these stores, I mean classrooms, would make FGCU even more affordable for all.

4. University of Florida

University of Florida students would be able to take advantage of more than 21,000 acres of land, significantly more than their traditional Gainesville, Orlando, and Jacksonville campuses combined. While the summer terms on the prairie would be hot, students would be able to gain an unmatched appreciation for the state they chose to call home.

5. University of Central Florida

While UCF's new campus would be over 30 minutes away, moving UCF's campus to Universal Studios makes sense. This theme park offers over 200 acres of fun, and with fun comes lots of distractions. After a year playing at Universal Studios instead of on field, Alabama would have an easier time beating UCF at football.

6. Florida State University

Given FSU's trouble with it's football program and Greek life over the past year, moving campus to the Florida Capitol Building would give the university more opportunities to improve. This final push would also give FSU students education on how the justice system actually works.

7. University of Miami

While the Miami beaches are farther away from the University of Miami than others may think, the University of Miami would hold their classes here if they could. Students would become a permanent shade of golden-brown, and students from public universities would have yet another reason to envy these college kids. Biology majors would also thrive so close to the marine ecosystem, and University of Miami would create the most powerful sunscreen yet shortly after moving campus.


While none of these Florida universities are likely to move their classrooms to a popular location nearby, the message still becomes clear:

The traditional classroom is changing and universities need to keep up.

So what would you do? Would you ditch the classroom and head off-campus?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
