I personally believe that my academic experience could have been better if classes included research and critical analysis in their assessment requirements. The American Undergradute Educaton system focus on descriptive explanations and that can somehow restrict the development of critical thinking. I think that more essays and group assignments should be included in the academic programs.

Even though i was proficient in english when i arrived the US, in my first 1-2 months American English honestly felt like a complete new language. The pace, tone and even emotion with wich native americans speak is very particular but such problems were quickly overcomed. I had an active social life and was part of many students associatons which allowed me to better understand information. Lecturers were extremelly clear and willing to help and such played a determinant role in my academic performance.
Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
Because i had the chance to interact with people from other backgrounds rather than just academic.

At the University of South Florida on- campus accomodation provided all the services, ammenities and entertainment facilities necessary. There was a wide range of options from which to choose and staff was particularly decicated a helpfull. I was mostly impressed by the organisation and reliability of the application procedures.

Commentaire personnel
The best places to go in Tampa are Ybor city for a busy night and sophisticated lunches. Ybor City is a historical location that has been sucessfuly integrated in the ciy's urban planning strategy: it used to be a Cuban cigars factory and nowadays has some of the funkiest restaurants and retail stores in Tampa. Colombia is my favourite restaurant in Ybor, on thursdays they have live flamenco dancers, its a great atmosphere! Gasparilla Festival should not be missed; Bahasa and Hyde Park Cafe for Latin Music; McDinttons for an European-pub feel and Westshore to enjoy the bay view and some of Tampa's best houses.
