University of Central Florida Top Questions

It is sometimes difficult to arrange an appointment with the advisor.

The most frustrating process involved with UCF is by far signing up for classes. Each student is assigned a time slot to register for the upcoming semester courses. During this time, you have an idea of what classes you are planning on taking but find that the course you want is either full or unavailable. You have to resort to your next choice which could be either a bad time for you or a professor you did not want. Do not stress out too much because you can always go back and change classes.

The most frustrating thing about UCF is the lack of housing for upperclassmen and the lack of parking. It's annoying to come home from the club on a Friday night and find out you have to park across campus because there is no parking in your dorms parking lot.

the teachers seem to be there for a pay check and not to teach students

I think that the changing of calendar years when I came in was frusterating. I have classes from the old and new calendar year and I feel like my advisor has not been as much help or as available as I needed. Also, the parking is ridiculous. The first couple weeks of school if you are not there an hour before class forget about trying to find a spot. I have been frusterated with the registering for classes. I have tried to register for classes but the only open classes will be on a far away campus at weird times.

The most frustrating part of being here is that there are 50,000 students and I see the same people every day.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the parking garage and traffic.

My frustration at my school is the amount of work that I have to do in a short amount of time. Also how big are the classes and the way thta I can't communicate with my professors.

It's tough to find a balance between getting a good education and work experience at the same time due to the scheduling. Internships, and Co-Ops help to provide this needed experience, but it's almost as if you have to choose one or the other. Do I cut back hours at school to gain some experience? This may delay graduation.

there isnt anything to frustrating about.

Parking! The school grows every year and they are trying to accomodate the amount of amount of students and build more parking garages, but these things take time. For now, parking is the biggest frustration.

There are just so many people. I have spent over an hour looking for a parking space in the past. I cannot go directly to the source or get an immediate answer. Often, diferent people tell you different things so the rule change depending on who you speak to.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that it is so hard to find a parking spot. It makes me late to class pretty often.

Parking is often a difficulty because there are more cars than parking spaces, but that is a problem at most univeristies

Not enough funding for our art department. Classes are crowded and nearly all supplies are made entirely the students' responsibility. They even closed our darkroom, an essential to the art of photography.

Although Housing is mostly available to students, it is very hard to hear from them if you are not immediately accepted into housing. If you are put on a waiting list after the first round of names are picked for housing, it becomes very difficult to get a straight answer from Housing on what your status has become.

When exams are scheduled on the same days

The social atmosphere is very welcoming at UCF. I wish there was more emphasis on academics to make my degree "worth" more.
