After two years of housing students, USF St. Petersburg’s Residence Hall One again seeks to fill its 348 rooms. While new students and their parents are getting tours of the building, some students who have called the residence hall home are leaving.

Of the 130 first-year students who moved into the hall in fall 2008, about 80 are returning, Kent Kelso, regional vice chancellor of academic affairs, said.

“We’re still a little over 100 [students] short of where we need to be to be full,” Kelso said.
