Driving over one of the Bay area bridges can make short drives seem like long journeys, especially if it is to a place we've never been before. That may be why we sometimes hear "But it's so far away!" when we suggest students take a course at a campus other than their home campus.

The slide show below focuses on the Tampa campus, which is just down the road from International Plaza (Mall)  and just up the road from Westshore Plaza -- places many Pinellas-side people have visited for their many shopping and/or dining opportunities.

but attended the Tampa campus 

advising session in July.

But even though it is more convenient for Hillsborough area people, doesn't mean it is inconvenient for others.

In the meantime, check out this slide show and see what the Tampa campus has to offer.
