One of the best things about UCF is the fact that no matter how many students there are, there is always a chance to form bonds with your professors and fellow students/ collegues. There is a club for everything and UCF is always willing to sponsor new clubs and ideas. Every department I have dealt with, has been more than helpful- always going the extra step. UCF cares about you as an individual even as a large university, I have never felt like just a number. The community is always so warm and giving.

UCF is very conveniently located. I am a pre-med student and therefore internships and volunteering is vital for my medical school application. Being in a large city such as Orlando enables me to work and volunteer is many hospitals and health facilities. The actual campus is located in somewhat of a college area and not in the actual city which makes it great also because you get a little bit of both enviornments (college area and city).

UCF feels like a college should feel. All of the other schools felt like they were spread over an entire country. Even though UCF is the third largest school in the nation, UCF feels like a small tight knit community.
Lili
It is an intimate school, large but in a fairly residential area of a larger city.
Brittni
The location, environment and cultral diversity makes my school unique as compared to other schools that I considered.

One of the first things that I noticed when coming to UCF was the great emphasis on diversity. This school is a melting pot of different people--not just ethnicity--but style. The campus is home to native Floridians, out-of-state kids, and numerous foreigners. My school is unique due to this varied nature.

What is very unique about UCF is that it maintains a close knit environment among students, faculty, and staff all while continuing to grow.
Jaime
Compared to the other colleges that I was accepted to, I felt that UCF would provide me with more opportunities to gain valuable internship experience with my particular major. Since it is located in Orlando, FL, many established businesses have rooted themselves here. Since I eventually want to work in the Sports or Entertainment Industry, I felt that Orlando would be a great fit for me.

The university of Central Florida is very focused on a person's success and academic achievement. It is a very diverse school that challenges you intellectually and the professors are very caring, professional and attentive to each students needs.
