Frequently Asked Questions

If I'm in the BBN, do I have to live in the BBC?

The BBC is an optional program for BBN students...but all residents must be in the BBN in order to live in the BBC!

What if I change my major while living in the BBC?

The college will never make a student move out of the BBC in the middle of the semester. If remaining on the floor is what is best for the student and the community, then the student can choose to finish the academic year on the floor.

How is the BBC different from other living-learning centers?

The BBC is designed to give students a head start in the business world. Students enjoy company tours, networking with members of the area business community and USF alumni, interacting with the Muma College of Business dean and faculty members outside of class, attending special events, participating in internship and career preparation sessions and using fun games to improve public speaking, communication, leadership, and on-the-spot thinking skills. BBC students also receive other academic benefits including academic advising and tutoring, on-site, in Poplar Hall. All of these programs will provide students with a strong advantage when entering the business world.
