in the nearby downtown area. Public shopping facilities for groceries,
pharmaceutical supplies, and other necessities are also located
nearby. There are many places to visit around St. Petersburg including
parks, museums, shopping and sporting events. Our waterfront campus
offers an ideal place to both work and relax.
Although there is currently no on campus housing, it is not difficult
to find an apartment or house to rent near campus. The following
sites can be used to get further information on nearby housing (Apartmentguide.com
and Rent.com or the above St.

Despite the nearby proximity between our campus and the downtown area, our current international students suggest that it is highly advisable have a car while you are here. Although it is not necessary, having a car will open up many new opportunities for you while you are at USF.
