University of Central Florida Top Questions

The University of Central Florida is in the middle of a lively and fun-filled city. Most universities in Florida are located in smaller cities that do not have much to offer, but Orlando has so many opportunities for fun, internships, and jobs. Even though UCF is quite large in size, it feels cozy and less threatening when you get used to the campus. I love that the university is layed out in a circle, which is one of the most unique things about UCF.

It is unique because it is pretty much a really big community college. At least half of my graduating class from high school goes to UCF.

The campus is very beautiful and open, there are many opportunities that are not available at other schools, UCF has many connections with the real world when it comes to finding a career after graduation.

I looked at several other schools but the University of Central Florida stood out by far. I immediately fell in love with the location and campus. With 94 majors to choose from and so many classes offered I realized that anything I dreamed to become, UCF would help me get there. Every member of our community seems to care for one another and always offer a helping hand.

A major defining characteristic of UCF is that it has one of the largest student populations in the country. The amount of students that have chosen to make UCF home is indicative of the quality of education that UCF delivers.

I have heard so much positivity about UCF's great engineering program. The school is close to my home town, so I know a lot of people here. I feel like UCF is a lot more organized, and just holds itself together a lot better than the other universities I visited. I also knew that by going here, I was going to be surrounded by over 50,000 people. I found everything I needed, and everything I didn't even know I needed, here at UCF.

Even though my school is the third largest in the nation, you will always find someone with the same common interests that you endure.

There were many unique qualities that attracted me to UCF versus other schools. First, I became aware of all the spectacular and interesting advances in technology and community involvement UCF's campus offers to curious students. The solar-powered car was amazing! Also, being from a minority group myself, it was comforting to know UCF's student body was so diverse and multi-cultural. Lastly, UCF was the only public university in Florida to offer a degree in Legal Studies. I couldn't pass up the chance for an amazing experience while learning a subject I'm so passionate about.

New, modern facilities with expert professors and helpful advisors.

This school actuall reaches out to the students for their opinion on campus concerns such as more space in the recreation center or longer hours in the computer lab. Academics is a stressed topic year round. There are constant resources to try and help students academically. Safety is another key topic around the campus. Ensuring the students' safety is very important to the university. School pride and spirit is highly encouraged for ALL sports.

UCF is the third largest school in the nation so it offeres a quality of life few others can offer. While Greek life isn't as important as other schools, students here seem much more open than other schools I considered (FIU and FAU)

UCF doesn't have the best football team. We don't have the oldest campus. We don't have the best parking system, or the most historical background. What we do have is room to grow. We have a campus that facilitates new ideas and interests, and provides people who are willing to pursue them with space to build the necessities of that interest. Other integrated campuses don't offer space to improve or to change whilst UCF offers endless supplies and space to embrace change. Without change, there is no progress. UCF promises their students a better tomorrow.

The school I attend has a wide variety of programs. It has a very good Digital Media program. Which, in forth, is what I'm taking as of now. My school is unique because unlike other schools I've looked into, it has a very good teacher-student interaction. Which is important to me.

The campus layout is based on concentric circles, which makes the various many building quite easy to find.

At UCF, there's a huge diversity of students. Also, there is an ever-booming tourism and hospitality market, which intrigued me for a possible promising future in the business field.

The professors really care about their students and love to teach!

When I transferred from Valencia Community College, I was very hesitant in attending UCF. One of my biggest fears stemmed from an overly cold impression of a university. However, I came to an early realization that UCF's goal---aside from academic excellence---is student comfort and assistance. Offices and professors exercise open-door policies for students, who often make appointments concerning academic progress, course requirements, and grades. Program advisers openly discuss and outline paths that promotes student success (completion towards earning a college degree) and further attainment of financial and work-study experiences.

New

I think my school provides a lot of free events and activities for the students. There is something everyweek and just about everyday that is free for students. This is good especially for those who do not always have money to spend to have fun. Fun is free at my school!

What unique about UCF is its a very diverse school. UCF has alot to offer such as different ways to get involved aand stay connected such as community service porjects, fundraisers,etc. I think this is a good school academically.
