USF is among the schools that have chosen to outsource their student e-mail services through Google Apps for Education. A quick trip to my search engine du jour turned up this USF page providing more info than you probably wanted to know about your school's e-mail system and setting up various clients:
Email Setup
With that said, I'm going to add that I'm the network admin at another college, and was evaluating Google Apps for .edu just last week to possibly outsource our own student e-mail into the cloud. If my counterpart at USF set up their Google Apps choosing the same options that I did, getting your Pre to sync up is actually rather simple!
1) Go into the CALENDAR app on your Pre. (Yes, I said calendar!)
2) Tap the word Calendar on the top left corner of the screen, then tap "Preferences & Accounts".
3) Scroll to the bottom of the screen, and then tap the "Add An Account" button.
4) Tap the "Google" button for your account type.
5) For your e-mail address, type in your USF e-mail address (id@mail.usf.edu) or whatever the format from the USF link above says.
6) Type in your USF password, and tap the "Sign In" button.
If your local Sprint data coverage isn't down like mine is right now (hence not being able to finish this in detail), you should be notified that your calendar is syncing.
If I recall correctly, the Pre automagically creates your Google mailbox in it's e-mail application, based on the calendar account setup. Just open up the mail app, and you'll see your USF Gmail mailbox without any input at all from you.
Of course, like I said, all bets are off if USF didn't set up their Google Apps site the same way that I did when I was testing it.....
