Tampa Bay Area
There is much more to Tampa's location than beautiful beaches and pleasant year-round temperatures. With 2.3 million people, Tampa Bay is West Central Florida's center of government, commerce, shipping, communications, international business, banking, health care, scientific research, sports, culture and entertainment. Job, internship and community service opportunities abound.
The Tampa Museum of Art, the Performing Arts Center and the St. Pete Times Forum are just a five-minute walk from campus. Busch Gardens, the Lowry Park Zoo and the Florida Aquarium are also popular Tampa attractions. Students are only a 30-minute drive from the front gates of Ruth Eckerd Hall, Bayfront Center, the Florida International Museum and the Salvador Dali Museum. The turnstiles at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, Sea World and Universal Studios are just an hour away.
Five major shopping malls and hundreds of nearby restaurants offer many options for shopping and dining. Historic Ybor City, only ten-minutes away, is well-known for its vibrant night-life, dining and entertainment district.
With plenty of sunshine, Tampa residents love sports activity. Bayshore Boulevard offers a six-mile continuous waterfront sidewalk for jogging, rollerblading, and cycling. Fans root for the Tampa Bay 's Buccaneers football, Lightning hockey and Devil Rays baseball teams. The area has long been home to many baseball teams' spring training facilities – with Tampa serving as host for the New York Yankees.
Arts & Culture
The Tampa Bay area is prominent as a regional cultural center. The Tampa Museum of Art and the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center are just a five-minute walk from campus. The historic Ybor City nightlife, dining, and entertainment district is a mere 10 minutes from campus. A 30-minute drive will put visitors at the front gates of Ruth Eckerd Hall, the Florida International Museum, the Bayfront Center or the Salvador Dali Museum. Latin American, African, Asian, Caribbean and European influences all add spice to this cultural crossroad.
Attractions
If any state is known for theme parks, it’s Florida! In addition to Tampa’s own Busch Gardens, the turnstiles at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s MGM Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Sea World, Universal Studios and Adventure Island are just over an hour away from The University of Tampa campus. In the Bay Area, students can visit the Lowry Park Zoo and The Florida Aquarium.
Shopping! Five major shopping malls and dozens of restaurants are nearby. A favorite place to shop, relax or just hang out is Old Hyde Park Village, just five minutes from campus. This outdoor retail center features a multi-screen cinema and exclusive brand-name shops. Restaurants, an ice cream parlor and a coffeehouse offer outdoor seating for enjoying the sun, the cool night air and people watching.
Local Media
The Tampa Bay community is one of the largest media markets in the country, with a population of more than 2 million people. Tampa is also the site for many national corporate headquarters and state and federal agencies. The print media consists of five large metropolitan daily newspapers, and a number of independent weeklies. The electronic media is well represented, with affiliates of Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC and cable systems, as well as several independent stations. A host of national radio station chains, along with other media outlets, make the Tampa Bay area a lively place to live, work or pursue a professional career in the media.
Sports
Tampa is the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team and a new stadium. The Bay Area's baseball team, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, play at St. Petersburg's Tropicana Field.
