My school is one the largest universities in the nation so we have a diverse group of students coming as one. With the diversity at our school, a person will learn about other people's backgrounds/culture and will learn more about who they are and what they want to be. Not many schools in the nation can offer that (diversity) to their students.

Location, UCF is the largest school so close to Orlando.

I never in a million years thought I would be going to a school with this many kids but somehow UCF made it seem like although there are over 35,000 students at my campus that that it was still small and intimate.

One unique situation of my school is class size. I've never heard of people being in core engineering classes surrounded by 200 classmates. It would be easy to look at this as a disadvantage, however, I choose not to. If you are willing to do anything necessary to accomplish your goals then nothing should deter you from your path. A larger class size also has more people to study with, a wide and diverse group to make new friends, and there's no shortage of alternate opinions to reach the best conclusion.

Hmmm.... the naked truth. I like UCF really does stand for opportunity. You get out of UCF what you put in. If you come in with an open mind and are ready to learn, you will truly have a wonderful experience. UCF is a growing school with wonderful opportunies for students. I was able to intern at a prominent hospital in Orlando thanks to UCF. I personally knew the Dean of HPA by name and gained close relationships with many faculty members. UCF is a wonderful school!! GO KNIGHTS!

The career and internship oppurtunties UCF offers are very unique. Due to our location and credibilty, we have close ties with major corporations such as Disney, Lockheed Martin, NASA, and several others. These close relationships allow students amazing internship and co-op experiences that no other school can offer. Another facet of our university that is unqiue is its newness; we are a young school that is constantly starting new traditions. The students really do make the university and the traditions, not the other way around.

Unlike other schools I was considering in Florida, UCF has a diverse environment off-campus. Within a short distance you can experience the wilderness or the city. This variation was ideal to me for more than recreational purposes. In addition it provides an incredible amount of opportunity for every major offered in our school. As a biology major I can learn both the business and fieldwork side of my degree and have many research opportunities since the area is teeming with businesses and nature reserves. Location was the final deciding factor when investing my future in a college.

This school has alot more people than the last college I attended, and the people are alot more friendly. Also, the campus is very spread aout and has alot of room, its not all crammed together.

UCF is very energy efficient; they have solar powered signs and plugs for electric cars and all the new buildings are required to be Green approved.
