Describe the students at University of Central Florida.

I think ethnic students would feel out of place at UCF, but recently I say that perspective is changing. There are many ethnic organizations at UCF, promoting great events to try to make everyone feel included. most UCF students are from Florida, but not all from mainly Orlando. Just everywhere around Florida. There are organizations that are politically aware/active, and students that are interested are more than welcome to join to those organizations.

I do interact with the other groups on campus. Being a member of the greek community, it allows me to interact with the campus moreso than I would have not being in a greek organization. I feel that some students are primarily here to come to class and leave. Those are the students I feel are left out of what the university has to offer its student body. Most UCF student I have met are from florida, primarily in South Florida. The backgrounds and political sides are at a greater variety than alot of schools are.

I have not had specific positive or negative experiences with race, etc. but I think that is a good thing because it means that there hasnt been an issue. Most students wear respectable regular causal clothes. Different types of students interact. Table 1. Greek/Party People Table 2. Math/Science types of Majors Table 3. Literature/Acting/Film types of majors. Table 4. People who dont care Most students are from Florida. Most people are from a middle class financial background. Some students are politically active, I would assume towards the left. Some students talk about how much they will earn, I do.

UCF is so huge that all groups are equally represented. Personally I'm involved in the groups of students that care about civil rights issues and politics, but I have met people from all sides of the spectrum. There are radical students, apathetic students, and everywhere in between. It's impossible to say that any one group stands out.
