USF is a top public research institution, the largest public university in the Tampa Bay MSA and the 9th largest university in the nation. The three-campus system is home to a student body of nearly 51,000 students, with over 43,500 students attending classes at the main campus. Since the 2012-2013 academic year, enrollment has increased at the main campus by 18%. Student housing and multifamily developers have jumped at the chance to serve the growing student body at USF by delivering over 2,200 units since 2012 within 2 miles of the university. Approximate 60% of all units, or 1,315, were delivered in 2017 alone, including The Village I and II, Haven 46, and The Retreat at Tampa. USF recently announced it is expanding a public-private partnership to help graduates get specialized training for careers in software engineering. It is a skills initiative between USF and Revature with the main focus being to grow a tech-savvy workforce. Corporations looking to hire employees with coding skills pay Revature to provide the technical training and people skills. Creative Chief Marketing officer Joe Vacca said, and the benefits of the expansion won’t end with the graduates and their new employers. "It will attract new companies to the region," he said, "by providing something that is truly rare in this country: a predictable access to technology talent." ( usf.edu )
