The stereotype is that all UCF students party and don't go to class but its absolutely FALSE! UCF graduates when of the best students that go on to have one of the best careers

There are lots of Frat kids in my school, but they seem okay to me. They still go to classes and are seen in the library and gym alike. So I am not too sure about the stereotype of the Frat Kids.

test review, these aren't the droids you are looking for.

I have been on campus 6 or 7 times, but I have not spotted any stereotypes yet.

We know how to party and theres plenty of eye candy. This is a accurate stereotype.

I don't think there is a typical stereotype at this school. The school is large enough that the variety of students is varied. The stereotype could be seen as relaxed due to the climate and culture that is in central Florida.

There are many a stereotype about UCF and its students, a number of which have been cleverly integrated into the university's abbreviated name, for exmaple: U Can't Finish, Under Construction Forever, or University of Cypress Failures (a popular high school in Ft Lauderdale). These stereotypes are incredibly untrue, along with whatever other stereotypes you might hear about the school. In fact, this a very diverse university with 60,000 students and counting. They are, because of the influx of students and rising admissions, almost perpetually building new edifices and the like on campus in order to accomodate these students. A prospective student might hear that UCF attendees are lazy and settled for this school. However, there are a number of top performers at this school (one of our alumni was actually able to receive the Rhodes scholarship to attend Oxford for graduate school, free of cost - a scholarship many schools and publications consider to be the most prestigous in the world). If there is any "stereotype" about UCF students its their overwhelming friendliness. While not everybody is an open book or constantly conversing, I have yet to try starting a conversation with someone and been met with disdain, disregard, or anything of that sort.

The stereotype is that UCF is a huge party school and that all the students there just party all the time. While that's partially true (note the horrible retention rate) UCF has a lot of serious students who just chose an in-state school because it was a cheaper option/it was closer to home.

UCF is such a large school (3rd largest in the country) with 50,000+ students, so trying to describe its students using one stereotype such as Jocks or Geeks would not be fair nor do it justice. I have friends that range from sorority chicks to hard core engineer nerds and everything in between. But what I have learned at UCF is that you are never alone. Whatever "click" or personality type you are, you will undoubtable find someone like you. Friends are easy to come by.

The University of Central Florida is often thought of as a party school. It is assumed that most students party all the time. While there are may be students who do party all the time. In a school of over 56,000 students, it is highly inaccurate to say that all or even a majority of them do nothing but party.

I don't think UCF really has a stereotype. There are so many students of so many different backgrounds that you can't really pin it down. Sometimes it is seen as the "leftovers" school by other in-state schools but I don't think that is true at all. UCF's students truly want to be there and are ready to embrace the UCF spirit of excellence.

I don't think there is one particular stereotype because the school is so large. There's all different types of people.

Students at University of Central Florida are typically looked at as the leftovers of the other large universities in Florida. For example, students who did not make it into the University of Florida or students who didn't make it into Florida State University. However, this is not true at all! University of Central Florida is the second largest university in the nation and I for one had UCF at the top of my college choices all through High School.

The University of Central Florida has close to 60,000 students..with this large of a student body I do not think there is a common stereotype of student that attends UCF. I truly believe UCF represents a huge variety of people all trying to achieve the same thing; a higher educational status. No matter a persons ethnicity, social status, sexual orientation, or religious background, they are accepted at UCF.

Personally, I have never had anyone ask me about stereotype of students at University of Central Florida. All I could tell you is there are many different people with a variety of personalities, interests, and traditions. I have so many types of friends ranging from a short Latina sorority girl to a studious African American guy.

Some of the stereotypes given to the student's at the University of Central Florida is that everyone is dumb or notsmart enough to get into anywhere else. This is due to our school being the second largest in student population that it allows for many poepl to get in. I find this stereotype to be far from the truth our school has one of the up and coming in engineering programs within Florida and also has the top hospitality management school in Florida. These colleges would not be succesful if not for the smart and remarkable students within them.

I do not think there are really many set stereotypes of students at this school as it's fairly diverse because of the great number of students. It's the second largest population-wise in the nation. As a large Florida school of course some may perceive it as a party school and it is to some. We have also have the largest NORML club and there are plenty of other activist groups which some may know the school and students for. I think the stereotype is pretty regular people and there are plenty of them.

There really aren't stereotypes at UCF, the school has too many students for them to really form. Sure we have Greek life but the entire school isn't focused on fraternitys and sororitys.

I think when people hear UCF, University of Central Florida they think "You Cant Finish." However that is not the case. UCF is growing bigger and bigger every day and there is not one stereotype of student. Each student is active on campus in their own way whether it be in a club, greek life, or sports team. Each person on the UCF campus is individual and doesnt fall under one category.

The University of Central Florida is one of the largest universities with over 58,000 students. UCF is extremely diverse. I have never heard of UCF having a certain stereotype of student. When you have so many students attending one university, it would be extremely difficult to create a stereotype.
