University of Central Florida Top Questions

While I can't complain very much about UCF, the worst thing about the school would probably be the number of students attending. Especially if you've never lived in a very urban area, you could feel like you're a nobody in a school with 56,000 students. I do enjoy being surrounded with thousands of my peers, however I do see how one could feel lost in a school with so many people, and I have some friends who feel this way.

Parking. My #1 problem on campus is finding a parking place. With the expense of $40+ for the semester permit I expected to have a place to park for class. This problem is usually only days; nights are fine because students are allowed to parking in staff lots then. I honestly cannot think of anything else I don't like about UCF. Specific to COLLEGE OF HEALTH AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS for social work degree are very few undergraduate courses online, which is more difficult to manage.

I got used to going to class two days a week. I am not happy about the fact that most of my science classes here are only available on the three-day schedule. Some scheduling conflicts forces me to go to school five days a week.

There aren't a lot of clubs offered towards more creative outlets, like creative writing, reading, watching movies. The school is majorly focused on engineering and medical fields. I was shocked when I found out that the campus doesn't even have a book club, and the film club it sponsors is mainly for directors, producers, and actors. If you're a creative person, like me, it was hard to get involved on campus and therefore meet new people (which is a major thing for incoming freshmen).

The worst thing about my school is that there aren't a lot of minorities there. Sometimes it gets really hard to try to make friends when everyone around you doesn't look like you. Of course you'd expect some differences, but there's no blend. It's like I feel alone sometimes. I know others feel that same way. We only take up 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of 60,000 people. That's not a lot at all. I wish I could just see more black faces.

I think the worst thing i've found about my school is just the occasional problems with all the technology that is surrounding the school. There isn't reall enything major that I don't like about the school.

The worst thing about University of Central Florida is the amount of construction that constantly takes place. I believe this is a big problem for the university because as they complete construction on future classrooms, the problem of overcrowded classrooms, lack of parking, and lack of student housing emerges. Though upper-level classes tend to be smaller, general education classes remain some of the largest, peaking at 300 students per classroom.

No University is perfect. I would honestly say that parking it my ultimate problem at UCF. Because we are the third largest University in the nation, that explains why parking is so limited. In order to get to class on time, you must leave at least an hour before class starts in order to find a parking spot. At times, students can be late to class. With the constant construction of new buildings being built, hopefully more parking garages are in the process of being developed as well.

i dont like the fact that the food is so expensive. recieving the education is expensive already, so i dont see why they have the food so expensive that some of the students can't afford to buy lunch.

The worst thing at the University of Central Florida would be the lack of parking spaces for the students paying for their decals. Seems as though the amount of decals sold from the Parking Services do not balance out the number of parking spaces provided for the students.

I think the worst thing about my school is that it is so big; although the size of the student body provides several opportunities, at times it is very easy to feel lost in the crowd. Since it is so big, it is easy to go unnoticed. I know of several people who feel alone despite all of the people that surround them, because it is hard to make friends during classes where you need to focus.

The worste part about the University of Central Florida is class sizes. It is sometimes hard to hear or see the teacher.

UCF is a thriving institution. Though I encourage you to see the potential and all that we have accomplished in a fraction of the time compared to other universities in the state, other's look down on us for being a young institution. That attitude has brought student morale down in the past. Occasionally, the sentiment still lingers. Fortunately, this year I have seen a change in the UCF student attitude. In sum, I feel that the worst thing about UCF is that other's try to discredit what we have accomplished, when in fact work hard and have persevered.

The price for out of state tuition and housing are very high; the difference between in-state and out of state tuition is almost

The parking! There is limited parking on main campus and on Rosen. On main campus they are building another parking garage, but a year later it is still not complete. And Rosen there really is not a way to expand parking, so students are forced to park across the street at the publix parking lot.

I would say the worst thing is the relative quality of most of the books used on campus in comparison with their price.

I would say the worst thing is the traffic surrounding the campus. The campus itself is beautiful but the traffic around campus is horrific.

There isn't enough parking. The school is ranked 3rd in the nation in size and parking causes you to miss alot of class time. It can be very frustrating at times.

The University of Central Florida is very large. The have the capability of only supplying dorms to the freshman; after freshman year only 15{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the dorms are available to Sophmore - Seniors. Although there is a lot of appartment living available around the campus, I would prefer to remain on campus, thus I will be placing my name in the raffle.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the food/dining hall. I rarely find food I like there and living in a dorm it is hard to "cook" for myself. If I could improve the food, I would change the staff because they often cook things relative to their native country or culture and there is rarely variety. Other than that, I love UCF!
