University of Central Florida Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about UCF is the parking. Almost 56,000 students attend UCF and the parking lot is always full. Finding a spot can take up to an hour and can sometimes cause you to miss class.

Like I said before, parking. With so many students, there are not enough parking lots in the whole city to accomodate all (exaggeration, but you get the point). On the plus side, they are building a new 3-story parking garage that looks like will be finished this semester, and if you dont want to deal with parking, you have the option of attending online classes.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Central Florida is the parking; there is not enough parking for every single individual. It would take me 30 minutes to find a parking spot.

The most frustating thing about this school is the financial aid (or lack there of). I am from a typical American middle class family and because of this I am unable to apply or qualify for many financial opportunities. I come from a single income family with two of the four children currently attending college, thus I am required to pay for my own education (which I don't mind). I just find it frustrating that many scholarships and/or grants neglect to consider families financial backgrounds.

Because our school has a large student population it is hard to enroll in the classes you need, when you need it. Some classes are only offered one semester a year and with only one section available. Some of these classes are only offered on the main campus, so it is a struggle to get in the class. Most of the students have trouble with scheduling. Every semester I had an issue with enrolling in my class. I had to wait in long lines to talk to the ONLY person that can do an override for that department.

so far the drive to my school is the most frustrating thing about my school.

The more frustrating thing about the school is that is super big. It is like a small jungle where I felt like small rabbit looking for the right place to be. Despite the fact I had a map, the first weeks I was always lost. The first day, I spent forty minutes walking from one class to the other. Now I’m more familiar with the campus and it only takes me fifteen minutes.

The cost.

How often the textbooks change. I have friends who have graduate through UCF and I borrowed textbooks from them, but I cannot use them because the books have either changed all together or the edition is earlier than needed.

The testing center hours for regional campuses are very strict and I feel like there should be more flexibility.

You know what? I love UCF! the only frustrating thing for me is how far from my home it is. Nothin else. It is a great school.

Financial aid

Figuring out how to pay for it.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the parking situation. There are over 53,000 students in attendance at UCF, and only about 35,000 parking spots. There is always a shortage of parking. I personally don't have a car at the moment, but I will next year, so I'm concerned about the situation. I will have to worry about getting to campus early enough so I can get a spot and not be late for class. This is definitely most frustraing, the concern of parking and being late to class.

Not enough class availability/limited online classes

With first attending any college, it is a challenge to get used to the work load and different environment. If anything was ever stressful or annoying, it would be feeling like I didn't have time to study or complete assignments, purely because of poor time management skills on my part. Finding a balance between studying/review, and other activities on campus was frustrating at first.

I really don't find there to be any aspect of UCF that I find frustrating. I find many things to be most appealing about my attendance at UCF such as their advanced technology, system of choosing classes, the fact that anything you want to know about school you can find on the school's website, the accessibiliy and availability of my professors, the varied degrees and classes offered, the fact that the school wants to see you succeed, the availability of tutoring, the very advanced career center, and most of all the appeal of the campus. and campus life.

Potentially the most frustrating thing about school, not necessarily my own school, is the cost. I have relatively little negative comments/thoughts about my school.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the availability of parking on campus. Sometimes you have to get to school an hour or two before your classes because it might take a complete hour just to find a parking spot.

The most frustrating thing for me at the University of Central Florida is the inability to get the classes with the great teachers unless you have high credit hours, because the person with higher credit hours gets to choose before you. They either need to get all good teachers, more classes with good teachers, or get a waiting list for the good teachers.
