The USF student body is the most ethnically diverse of the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities and is among the top-20 most ethnically diverse of all colleges and universities in the country. But our diversity goes beyond ethnic categories to include a rich mixture of economic, educational, religious and geographic backgrounds. USF students are the first in their families to go to college as well as children of doctors and lawyers. They are from 48 states, two U.S. Territories and 84 countries.

USF STUDENTS MAKING A DIFFERENCE The results are in: USF offers a more cultural, community-mind- ed college experience than most U.S. universities, according to a UCLA study of more than 150 four-year universities. Accord- ing to the survey of freshmen students across the country, 73 percent of USF students did community service, compared to a national average of 53 percent.
