Stetson Law’s primary campus is nestled within the residential beachfront community of Gulfport, a tranquil place to live and work that is contiguous with the city of St. Petersburg. The Tampa Law Center, which houses evening classes and a state appellate court, is near the heart of thriving downtown Tampa. Both Tampa Bay area locations offer quick access to vibrant business and legal communities and to magnificent beaches and palm-lined boulevards.
With more than 2.7 million residents, Tampa Bay is the 19th-largest metropolitan area in the United States and the second most populated region in Florida. It is home both to championship-winning pro sports teams, such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and to cultural centers, performance halls and fine art museums, such as the Salvador Dali Museum. One of the largest media markets in the nation, Tampa Bay is served by two major metropolitan newspapers, the St. Petersburg Times and the Tampa Tribune, and four television news stations.
Tampa Bay has numerous options for recreation, entertainment and exercise. In addition to popular attractions such as Busch Gardens and Lowry Park Zoo, students can find nature trails, bike paths, tennis and golf clubs, fishing piers, and other diversions from academic pressure.
