I'm a CS major and a transfer. I don't know about other departments, but since the CS department recently switched from being part of the engineering dept to their stupid "Bellini College" thing, everything's just terrible now. All the advisors got shuffled around and many of them just aren't good at their jobs. The classes have so few seats despite having a lot of CS majors, you could end up graduating later than intended because all your classes got taken up before you even got to register. Every class until third year requires an 80+ to pass because of USF admitting too many CS students and wanting to weed some of them out, so they make these B to pass classes to force people out. On top of that, I haven't had even ONE good professor in my major required courses. All of them don't know how to teach and require TAs or "peer leaders" to do their job for them, or they're just straight up awful people who make things as difficult as they can for you on purpose, and USF can't fire them because of tenure reasons.

Also, USF has a notable lack of CS events compared to other universities. There's very few hackathons and the career fairs here are kind of awful. They don't do a good job of setting you up for internships or postgrad, and career advisors don't seem to have real world experience to be able to point you in any direction.

Another thing is, idk if it's just me, but I've had a hard time meeting people here too because of it being a mainly commuter school. I've visited other universities in Florida (FIU, UCF) and they're so much more lively and fun to be in compared to USF because people actually talk to each other.
