University of Central Florida Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Celia

The location is the best thing about the University of Central Florida. It's close enough to Downtown Orlando, the attractions, and the beach to really enjoy them but far enough so that UCF is still it's own little community.

Erica

Our school is the biggest school in Florida. It offers three hundred and fifty clubs and organizations students can participate in. I feel the teachers are very intelligent and our school is very diverse in population. It offers all kinds of fun concert and athletic events.

Cristina

The best thing about UCF is the great support offered by the faculty and staff. Personally, the faculty at the Palm Bay campus has inspired me to reach for the best, and to continue to fulfill my academic dreams. I am very proud to be a student at UCF!

Samantha

The best thing about my school is the diversity of the people and number of people who go here. You can always find a group of friends to hang out with and take some of the stress of college off with them. With all the different kinds of people there are also numerous kinds of activities going on and you can learn a lot about a culture by getting to know a few of those people.

Sheria

Being a senior now, I really can't say that there just one best thing about my school. Overall UCF is really an awesome, well-rounded university. Just knowing how much UCF has developed since it first was opened in 1963 entitled, Florida Technological University is amazing. The campus is absolutely beautiful. Professors were (in my own gained experience) great educators. UCF's web portal used for registering for classes, financial aid, webcourses, etc. for students is very effective and convenient for students. Students and faculty are very friendly and very accepting of all the diverse cultures and ethnicities.

Raleigh

My major: Legal Studies. It is unique from Pre-Law and Political Science in that only a handful of colleges offer it in the entire United States. My dream (which I am living) is going to law school and helping change the legislature in this country to give people more freedoms. Land of the free and home of the brave. That is my mission. Specifically, the right to love whomever one chooses. I am very passionate about helping others. Furthermore, if law school does not happen immediately, I can easily become a paralegal, thanks to my degree in Legal Studies.

Tyler

For me UCF was the right choice because it is local to my home town and an inexpensive school compared to other universities in Florida.

Amanda

The best thing about UCF is how welcoming it is to the incoming freshman. Everyone (admisistration and other students) are more than egar to help out; you never feel inferior asking for help.

Devin

The best thing about going to the University of Central Florida is the fact that they make distance learning at a four year college easy for students/ I am taking classes in Cocoa rather than having to drive to Orlando a few times a week because Cocoa is much closer to me.

Todd

One word instantly comes to mind when considering the best thing about UCF: Community. Everywhere I look while wandering the campus, I can actually see what it means to be a community. Students, faculty, or even just friends of family all come together for any number of shared purposes. These common purposes range from political views to break dancing, from break dancing to Italian culture, and everything in between. Becoming a part of the UCF community has made leaving home for the first time feel like I never really left at all.

Jennifer

The food on campus is really good.

Diemcac

The best thing about my school would have to be the community itself, in my opinion. There are many resources available to the students, from computer labs to writing centers, tutoring to printing labs. There are many restaurants and shops also. There's a health center on campus with a pharmacy, and now there's also a dental center available to the community. Along with resources, there's something here for everyone. Hundreds of clubs and organizations can be found on campus. With roughly 54,000 students at the University, you never feel alone.

Irina

The layout is great because of the Student Union being the center and then everything around in a circle. The university is fairly new and building so all the facilities are nice and clean, besides the library maybe.

Erin

everything the campus has to offer, from restaurants to staff that help you with everything you need.

Jasmin

I LOVE all the free stuff my school gives out :)

Alessandra

I am an online student for the most part and I am happy that they offer the option to do the classes involved in the undergrad psychology degree online as I have been too ill to go to school in person.

Sarah

The best thing about the school is probably the campus and amount of information available just by walking around. The campus being one of the largest in the nation has a vast variety of buildings and structures to discover. Inside and even around these buildings you can find so much about the school or issues that captivate the minds of the students attending UCF. One can always find a stand set up by fellow students based on anything from a yoga club to a democratic club to a club about animal abuse.

Jace

I conider the fact that the school is so young to be my favorite attribute. It is not old and haggard like some of the other schools that I have visited before choosing UCF, instead it is new, exciting and beautiful. I love the campus, the classrooms, the support facilities, and practically everything else associated with this campus. If I had to go back and choose again, I would still pick the University of Central Florida to be my school of choice.

Kate

For me, the location and price are the two best things about my school.

Ryan

The best thing about this school is that, with being located in a metropolitan area, you can always find something to do. The community on and off campus is bustling with excitement and activities to do. It is as if the city is a part of our campus. Musical performances, theatre shows, sports events, etc - UCF branches throuought the entire city. Once you are a part of a breathing and thriving coommunity like UCF, the city is your oyester.
