My experience as an international PhD student at USF
Tips: Initially, when I started my journey to USF, there was a little fear of the adjustments that I might have to make living in an alien country and a totally new environment academically. But after the initial few weeks, everything else has gone well so far. A lot of international students are enrolled in this university, so one ends up making a lot of friends going through the same experiences as you. I am pursuing my PhD degree in Mathematics, and I work as a graduate assistant, which meets my financial needs to pursue my education. I have been fairly happy with the Department of Mathematics at the university to date. The teachers here are friendly and cooperative, and there has been enough liberty granted to me to select different fields of study before I choose my field of research.

Home away from home. You will feel like staying in the campus for long hours!
Tips: Students don't get scholarships at USF. The professors are highly educated. The campus is extremely beautiful. I personally loved the library. It has a very big recreational Centre, sports is widely played. The bus transportation for students is good but Tampa does not have reliable transportation off campus. The cabs are expensive.
Likes (Part time work): Part time work is easily available. It is also manageable with studies. You need to keep in touch with the professors to land a part time job in the college otherwise they do have dining part time options and most of the students worked there. Dining part time asked for more physical hours and college part time allowed more work from home hours that's the benefit.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The campus does not have Indian food options. They also don't have vegetarian options for vegetarian people. I preferred cooking at home as there is taaza smart near my apartments from where I bought Indian food items. There are 1-2 Indian restaurants off campus.

Good campus and good people.
Tips: Good for STEM courses if you bag a scholarship but the learning itself will be worthwhile. USF is so much more than just a university and you can expect to meet people from all cultures and all parts of the world so your exposure will be really wide. Classes can range from engaging to intense but it does depend on your professors and your line of interest as you will be expected to be slightly more independent here. Good experience all in all.

Intense research work here.
Tips: I did not expect my degree to be as intense as it is here. There will be a lot of research work, experiments, statistics and academic writing. In a way, a lot more than one would expect. Indian food is good in some places but disappointing in some and you'll have to rely on cooking for yourself. Office hours have been helpful.

A supportive diverse learning experience at USF.
Tips: There aren't many cultural transitions. I think there are enough Indian students to feel comfortable and confident enough in our culture. I did not avail any scholarships but our school does offer some really good ones for a Bachelor's degree and I personally know some who were awarded scholarships. I'm pretty satisfied with the university but not the country.
