- Hi everyone,
- I just got accepted to the master program in electrical
- engineering at University of South Florida at Tempa. That 's the
- first school that I applied and accepted. So I would like to ask for
- some opinions from netters whoever have heard anything about the
- school or the area. One of the professors that I talked at my school
- happened to be from Florida originally. He said the school had a
- pretty good reputation in Florida. My questions are the following:
-
- 1. Are there some decent high-tech industries in the area of Tempa?
-
- 2. Someone told me that Florida had a much serious drug problem than
- the rest of the country. Reasons: a. The coast line is very long.
- b. The weather is so nice that almost everybody can grow coke in their
- backyard.(of course illegally). Is Florida really that bad?
-
- 3. People said the life pace in Florida was sort of slow in comparison
- to the rest of the country. Is it really true?
-
- 4. Is the beach and city life too distractive to students?
-
- 5. Are the people pretty friendly over there?
-
- I would like any inputs on the above questions. Your answers are
- greatly appreciated. I plan to move to Florida right after the new year.
- Thanks very much everyone in advance and happy holidays!!!!!
