7 Places College Students In Florida Wish Their Classrooms Were Located

Would you ditch the traditional classroom?

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?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
