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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
