University of Central Florida Top Questions

Opportunities

UCF is a greedy, selfish corporation that happens to sell education that is mostly taught by arrogant, overpaid professors.

It is a big university with a friendly staff

My school is big, diverse, and full of opportunities and people who are there to help you.

My school is very diverse, people have their own goals and interest and you can always find someone who shares these things in common with you.

Big and with a lot of students, with much competition and pressure.

My school is wonderfully diversified, and very student friendly.

In a word? Huge. UCF is definitely a big school, to the point that quite a few students take to using skateboards or bikes to navigate the campus faster. There's also always at least one section being expanded, built up, or rebuilt--there's a reason for the running joke that UCF stands for "Under Construction Forever." Whatever hasn't been reconstructed recently, such as the larger buildings like the Student Union and the Library, look pretty old on the outside, though usually the school tries to keep the interiors up to date in most cases. One more thing--there may be a lot of students who go to UCF, but because of how big it is and the large amount of off campus housing available nearby, it never gets too crowded. The exception to this is parking. Even with quite a few full parking garages and several other lots, it can still take a long time for any given student to find a space.

It's looks huge to other students

For a prospective student or for someone who has never seen the main campus, the campus is pretty big. It takes a good amount of time to learn where all the buildings are and how to get to everything. The campus is a very well land scaped and looks appealing to the eye. Another thing about the campus since I have been here, there has always been something under construction. But the construction does not normally take more than a year, and always adds value and betters the school.

The University of Central Florida is a diverse school that offers unlimited opportunities to its students.

UCF seems to be this huge campus, which it is! But, the central area of UCF is a circle and in the heart of campus is the student union. Classes are centered around the circle of the union and then a little in the back. The outer circle of campus has the gym, the welcoming center, and housing. Also, on the outskirts you'd find knights plaza and the research park. The campus simply grows and grows. It is confusing at first to find out where to go but you will be fine in a matter of a week or so. UCF is beautiful with all the palm trees spread around, the reflection pond with it's shooting of water all day, and the pretty buildings.

Its a great school overall. Alot of resources available, and very well known.

Friendly atmosphere, you make the most of your own college experience.

UCF is a place where a diverse group of people can come together and multiple programs are offered to fit everyone's needs.

A place that is full of life and a strong sense of community and friendship.

My school is the greatest school in America and no school can stand up to it.

UCF is a place to discover yourself while being pushed academically.

My school is a gigantic research university (emphasis on 'research') where it is both extremely easy to get involved and extremely easy to fade into the background; in order to succeed here, you have to make your own way, but it isn't difficult to find people who are willing to help you get there.

The University of Central Florida is building traditions and achieving excellence.
