If you're a student at USF you probably know that there are some things on this campus that you can't experience anywhere else. Like most schools, campus culture is what makes our school what it is. Here are some of the most memoriable highlights from USF.
A – Advising Appointments

A rare find during the middle of the semester that you’d gladly fight someone for.
B – Bulls
The name of USF’s student body. Also, the school mascot. Bull figures can be found all over campus.
C – Cooper Hall
A somewhat scary building with very sketchy elevators. Ground zero for protests, radical speakers and Subway. If you've never been in Cooper did you really go to USF?
D – Ducks
Cute waddling bird that can be found all over the USF campus, including parking garages, outside of the library, near the BSN and around Cooper Hall.
E – Elevator roulette
The game you play when you take the elevator in the following places: the library, Cooper Hall, the
Education building and every parking garage.
F – Financial Aid Office
Where you find yourself during a good chunk of the semester trying to hold onto the $1.48 in your bank account.
G – Green and gold
The colors you bleed if you’re a USF Bull.
H – Handshake
The resource we all know we should be using but don’t (because we are irresponsible).
I – Interdisciplinary Sciences Building
Giant building with great views of campus. Home to pretty much all Biomedical Sciences majors.
J – Judy Genshaft
The ultimate face of USF. Has to shake your hand at graduation. Reminds us all of Judge Judy.
K – Kayaking at Lettuce Lake Park
Basically, a USF rite of passage.
L – Club Lib
The library that has a fancy name because USF is lit. Someone will fight you for a pod on the 5th floor. Hotspot during exam week and after 10:30 am during spring and fall semesters.
M – Marshall Student Center
Always cold but has food. Finding a seat is like the Hunger Games. Don’t step on the seal.
N – No parking
What people complain about the most throughout the semester. Very annoying if it takes more than 15 minutes.
O – The Oracle
The school paper that deserves more recognition.
P – Publix
Florida’s best grocery store that they will eventually build on campus.
Q – Quinton Flowers
The GOAT of USF Football. Loved by all USF football fans.
R – Rocky the Bull
Everyone’s favorite bull. Loves taking photos almost as much as he loves USF.
S – Squirrels
Will chase/attack you for food. Can be found in trash cans waiting for you. Beware.
T – T-Shirts
How you get any USF student to do anything. Can get for free at pretty much any event.
U – Umbrella
What you wish you had on you when it’s pouring and you need to go from the BSN to the MSC.
V – The Village
The swanky new dorms that you’re probably a little jealous of.
W – Week of Welcome
The week you use your freshman/sophomore year to meet new people and make friends.
X – eXtra Credit
What your teachers in high school said didn’t exist in college. Is in the syllabus for 3/5 classes.
Y – Yellow
That
moment when something should be green and gold but is really green and yellow but you don’t want to say anything.
Z – Zombies
What the entire student body looks like during finals week. Can be found in the library during early morning hours.
