varied. Theres so many people at UCF at one point or another you end up dealing with every kind of person

Carley

Classmates at UCF are a friendly group of people, always willing to get together and study, tutor you, pass along old classnotes, or give you advice on which professors are best.

Rachel

Overall, UCF was a very diverse campus. There were a few times when I felt uncomfortable (as an extremely open lesbian), but overall it was never a problem. People, rather they agreed or not, usually just accepted and let others do their things. There was one time though, that a couple students were loudly protesting "for god" outside and were personally, verbally attacking students as they walked by and I was one of them. These are the types that you can't convince, so I tried to simply ignore them and walk on, but they stood in the way. I was scared, but luckily some other guys, complete strangers, defended me and helped me pass.

Alex

The big school is usually portrayed that you'll get lost in it, but I looked at it like there's so many students, there's definitely going to be people I'll fit in with. And there was. I think it's a very big school, fairly diverse, and there's so many clubs, you can easily find the type of people you're looking to meet.

regina

LGBT brought carson kresley here, so theyre ok by me lol

Annie

I don't think any student would feel out of place. We offer tons of different clubs and organizations that seek our interests of any one. To class, most students wear jeans and t-shirt, some in pajamas. I find that most UCF students are from the south and come from a well-rounded amount of finanical backgrounds

Anne

It's a great melting pot of students. We all get along great I feel.

Kelsey

Our school is diverse. Most students go casual to class. Most students in the dining hall are greek.

Michelle

Haha. If you feel out of place at UCF, you probably are like the majority who just don't care about trying to fit in with the 47,000 students at UCF. If you feel "in" you are probably no more "in" then the other group that sat next to you. Most of the students are from Florida though.

Patrick

Students here don't really care about one another. They meet one another once let's say at a party, then add each other on Facebook, then fail to make any attempt at communicating with said person ever again. I also feel that A LOT of our student run organizations that are desperately trying to make a difference are just running in circles and going nowhere. Students throw away flyer's as soon as they get it, and the only way to get students to vote is with free food or t-shirts. That's really sad. But I can't really say anything because I voted for the yellow shirt people because they gave me a shirt, pizza, and ice cream. Overall students are lazy. They party, realize their fat, go to the gym, gain confidence in their mediocre appearance, go back to the sketchy bars, drink, then drink some more, get fat again, then go back to the gym. All of this and maintain a respectable 2.499 gpa. Oh what a lifestyle.

Elizabeth

I think ethnic students would feel out of place at UCF, but recently I say that perspective is changing. There are many ethnic organizations at UCF, promoting great events to try to make everyone feel included. most UCF students are from Florida, but not all from mainly Orlando. Just everywhere around Florida. There are organizations that are politically aware/active, and students that are interested are more than welcome to join to those organizations.

Courtney

I do interact with the other groups on campus. Being a member of the greek community, it allows me to interact with the campus moreso than I would have not being in a greek organization. I feel that some students are primarily here to come to class and leave. Those are the students I feel are left out of what the university has to offer its student body. Most UCF student I have met are from florida, primarily in South Florida. The backgrounds and political sides are at a greater variety than alot of schools are.

Alex

Large variety of clubs that let you interact with all different types of ppl

Amber

I have not had specific positive or negative experiences with race, etc. but I think that is a good thing because it means that there hasnt been an issue. Most students wear respectable regular causal clothes. Different types of students interact. Table 1. Greek/Party People Table 2. Math/Science types of Majors Table 3. Literature/Acting/Film types of majors. Table 4. People who dont care Most students are from Florida. Most people are from a middle class financial background. Some students are politically active, I would assume towards the left. Some students talk about how much they will earn, I do.

Bianca

UCF is so huge that all groups are equally represented. Personally I'm involved in the groups of students that care about civil rights issues and politics, but I have met people from all sides of the spectrum. There are radical students, apathetic students, and everywhere in between. It's impossible to say that any one group stands out.
