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?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
