The University of South Florida is one of the nation's top 63 public research universities and one of 39 community-engaged, four-year public universities as designated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. USF was awarded more than $360 million in research contracts and grants in FY 2007/2008. The university offers 219 degree programs at the undergraduate, graduate, specialist and doctoral levels, including the doctor of medicine. The university has a $1.8 billion annual budget, an annual economic impact of $3.2 billion, and serves more than 46,000 students on institutions/campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota-Manatee and Lakeland. USF is a member of the Big East Athletic Conference.

Northeast of Tampa proper is the incorporated community of Temple Terrace. Exploration of the Temple Terrace area dates back to 1757 when the Spanish Royal Fleet made its way up the Hillsborough River to what is now Riverhills Park. The area was named for the 'Temple' orange, a new variety grown in the vast citrus groves on the land in the area. Developed during the Florida boom of the 1920s, the neighborhoods boast many of the large Mediterranean homes characteristic of the era.

One feature of the community is its own private golf club with an A.A.U. swimming pool. Temple Terrace has three elementary schools, a junior high school, its own public library and a golf course designed by famed Scottish designer Tom Bendelow. Today, with a population of over 23,000, the City continues to grow and flourish. Annexations of surrounding unincorporated properties have allowed the City's boundaries to grow to an area of 6.5 square miles. The convenient location and natural beauty of the area makes Temple Terrace an attractive destination to residents and businesses alike.
