Hi everyone! I recently started working at the USF College of Nursing. I’ve been buying the $5 daily parking passes because I can’t afford the full employee permit right now, my account also won’t let me buy a student pass since I graduated.

Google Maps showed around 20 daily-pass spaces in Lot 34, but when I arrived, I saw the poles and it looked like the signs had been ripped off, so they must of been old photos. Now I’m nervous to park there because I don’t know whether those spaces still count as daily parking. Does anyone regularly park in Lot 34 with a daily pass without having any problems?

I accidentally parked in GZ33 last week and received a $75 ticket, so I really don’t want to make another mistake. Are there any other daily-pass spaces near the College of Nursing that are normally available around 7–7:30 a.m.? I don’t mind walking a little, but I’d prefer somewhere that isn’t so far so that I don’t arrive to work all sweaty.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I need to take an online, proctored exam and I’m looking for a private, quiet space on campus. I’d need a room with a power outlet where I can be completely alone, with no one entering or interrupting me during the exam.
Are there any spaces like this available to reserve for about two hours, like private study rooms, cubicles or anything?

Hello bulls i want to be near more graduate students since they’re hotter than undergrad students and being around hot people makes me study better so help me. I know there’s a graduate study room in the library’s 5th floor but i think it’s locked or something 🙄

Does anyone know of any quiet spots on campus to study? I was trying to study on the third floor of the library and it got a little busy and people were talking a bit loud too (even with my AirPods on noise cancellation, I can still hear someone blasting music with his own headphones in across the table and people talking). Never been to the fourth floor so I’m not sure if that’s better or worse for studying. Any thoughts?

Hi! I'm looking for remedies for colds. I've had this congestion and sore throat for about two weeks! I went to the doctor, and it's not strep or anything treatable. I'm miserable. I need those “my grandmother swears by” remedies.

Does anyone know of some places I can volunteer with around USF? I need like 20-50 service hours.

Thank you in advance!

Hi guys I lost two rings near endevoir in the village. They are two gold rings size 5 one is a pura vida wave and the other is a little gold band with a diamond in the center. They really mean a lot to me if anyone finds them or took them please return them they mean a lot.

so this saturday is my first football game i’m going to usf vs fiu and do we need to buy tickets for tailgate or how does tailgate work/ is it worth coming to tailgate?

hopefully it posts in my bank soon🤞

Hey all, does anyone else know if they haven’t gotten their financial aid yet? I got approved for a few loans and I haven’t seen a cent :(

I know people are waiting, so I figured I'd just make a new post. Email received at 4:11 pm on Thursday, 9/3.

Update: just after 11 it hit my account. Both deposits for the full amount. Pell, USF grants, and loans. Hope this helps everyone. Keep in mind, my bank posts as soon as they receive it. If yours doesn't, you should see it in the morning or sometime tomorrow, but it's on the way.

Did they change the bus stop for the Red Bus at University Mall? That was the spot I could park for free. I don't even see the bus drive by around there anymore. What are the new stops? That I can park for free nearby?

Is anyone going to Bruno Mars' concert and would be interested in being featured in a story for The Oracle? Let me know!!

Does anyone’s Bright Futures show up? Mine has not been posted to my account and I thought it would post 9/2.

Did anybody receive their refund yet? I haven’t received anything and I’m worried

I was thinking about doing gen Chem 1 and physics 1 in spring 2027 due to sudden change to graduate school plan (and having more science prerequisite than expected). I was on track to graduate early (I took A&P I fall 2025, A&P II spring 2026, and I am taking Microbiology right now), for my new graduate school plan I need A&P I & II, Bio 1, Chem 1&2, and Physics 1&2. So I was just wondering if it would be doable. Also if BSC2010/L would be doable in the summer term.

For context my friend is considering transferring and I really want him to so what are some fun on campus things I can do with him or take him that will help convince him? Hes just coming down for the day so any help would be great.

Life gets so serious so quickly.

Make sure to have some fun at my old home.

Can someone confirm what day exactly is the tuition bill available for paying?

What day exactly does merit and bright futures hit the account?

Thanks.

I'm moving and am looking for someone to take over my half of the lease at Stone Creek Apartments with the month of September free for whoever takes it over!
This apartment is $1000, with everything included and the month of September will be free for whoever takes it over.
The lease runs until July 19, 2027.
This is a private master suite with its own private bathroom. The bedroom is unfurnished, but the living room and kitchen are already fully furnished and stocked, so you won't have to worry about buying living room furniture or a bunch of kitchen stuff.
The complex also has a tennis court, pool, and 24/7 fitness center.
There is currently one roommate living here, and he has two dogs. It is in a very convenient spot if you go to USF, as it is very close to the campus.
If you're interested or want more pictures or info, feel free to message me!

Does anyone have any tips or anything with dealing with stress. I am a freshman who wants to do lab research, but figuring out what to do and pathways feels so overwhelming.

I know that i still have time to think about it but I can’t help but want to be ready for it in my future, just no clue where to start.

Every day i feel like my heart is going to implode.

I accepted $3.75k in loans, but only 2.8 went through, and now it’s saying that’s all I accepted when it totally isn’t??? I’m going to speak with them after my first class tomorrow but I’m soooo pissed. This isn’t the first time they’ve messed me up (I was supposed to have an extra $600 for the spring but that also got snatched up by “extra fees”) but I needed that extra near thousand for the software my classes require. I’m so confused and tbh my head just hurts at this point.

I’ve been browsing bullsconnect for a while and i haven’t really seen many social hangout clubs that meet weekly besides the christian ones or sports practice ones. Are there any clubs that meet weekly that are interest based?

Anybody actually get their refund today? I also noticed there was no Edeposit email sent out like there is usually when the funds have been sent to the bank :(
