All the other schools I considered were private art schools that didn't really have housing, sports teams, etc. that public universities have. I like the fact that while on campus there is so much to do when not in class. Everything is close by and mostly everyone are very open to talk to new people. It is very easy to meet new people and hold conversations. I was never a social person in high school, but within a month at college that all changed.

The campus set up is the best. Its basically like a circle and the center point is the student union, which is also the center for most activities. Its awesome to be able to get form one point to another on campus so quickly.

The campus is very beautiful and a lot of the buildings are new since UCF is always constructing something new. The Recreation and Wellness center is a nice gym complete with a rock-climbing wall. What made the decision for me was how cheap UCF is for in-state students. Even if you are out-of-state, the school is still affordable. UCF is the third largest university in size and second largest in enrollment. It is a few miles from the Kennedy Space Center and the theme parks the Orlando has come to be associated with.

I feel that my school has an amazing campus and is like a small city in a way. It feels like a community and that makes me feel at home. I love my school because I feel welcome it is beautiful and has such an amazing atmosphere. This school is full of different cultures and people making it very unique and fun to be at.

I love the layout of the university. All the academic buildings are in the same general area, and there are so many amenities. The gym is new and beautiful. The arena is great, and UCF is investing into so many programs. The library just got a makeover, and is looking good. Everyone is super friendly. UCF is my dream school and I am so thrilled to be a Knight!

The University of Central Florida is the 5th largest school in the country. It is located in the middle of Orlando, a huge city. There is always something to do whether it be shopping, movies, bowling, eating, drinking, theme parks, etc.

Being a part of a community that consists of over 50,000 students is such an experience to have in college. I enjoy each day here at the University of Central Florida because there is just so much to do and everything you will ever need or want is on this campus. There's no such thing as isolation here at UCF, you are surrounded by people that want to do something with their life and they will want to help you as well. I love saying that I go to the second largest university in the nation.

Unlike UF or FSU, UCF has more than just a college-town feel. It has tons to do after class and on the weekends for just about anyone.

The diversity and the location. UCF lives in the heart of Orlando where your only miles away from theme parks or beaches. UCF is very diverse you will make life long friends and relationships.

most classes are web mediated, and, therefore, allow students to attend school and work full-time. While this is beneficial, it also prevents students from getting to know their classmates and their professors. When it comes time for recommendations, this is especially unfortunate.
