In Princeton Review’s The Best 392 Colleges: 2027 Edition, USF rates among the top 15 percent of the country’s four-year colleges. The Princeton Review surveyed current USF students and reported what they said about academics, campus life, and student life.

On academics: "Talented, well-educated, hardworking, and passionate professors” lead “interesting, engaging classes that are small.”

On campus life: The USF campus is a “welcoming second home for all of its students,” in a “beautiful location” that makes it easy to explore “the ultimate city to be in as a young person.”

On student life: At USF, students come together “in one of the best cities in the world” to form “a culturally diverse community that teaches respect, dignity, and honor for all individuals.”

Stephen Curry is bringing his passion for storytelling to the Silk Speaker Series at USF.

The four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP comes to the Hilltop on Aug. 30 for an exclusive screening and panel conversation of “The Baddest Speechwriter of All,” the award-winning documentary he co-directed about civil rights leader and Martin Luther King Jr. adviser Clarence B. Jones.

While the in-person event at the War Memorial Gym at the Sobrato Center is sold out, USF has created a secondary viewing location in response to overwhelming interest. Guests can watch a real-time simulcast of the documentary and moderated panel conversation.

Experience an unforgettable conversation with Stephen Curry exploring social justice, civil rights, and the enduring impact of those who changed the course of history.

“When it comes to AI, we challenge it. We talk about ethics and implications, about bias and hallucinations, about who is included and who is excluded. Most of all, we ask how we can use machines in the service of humans.” - USF President Salvador D. Aceves ’83, EdD ’95

In USF’s Horizon Collective, a new program that brings students from 13 majors together to work on real-world problems at the crossroads of sustainability, health, and technology, students were challenged to use AI tools to build wellness apps. One student built an appreciate-nature app. Open the camera, point it at a plant or a tree, and the app identifies it. Another built a workout tracker, and another built a website aimed at parents of children under 12, raising awareness of consumerist, dangerous, or violent videos that children encounter every day on YouTube.

“I was very strongly anti-AI before this project because I hadn’t seen it used in a helpful way yet. This was a rare case where I actually saw the benefits.” - Reed Johnston ’29
