UCF is sometimes touted as a party school, but it comes down to the college experience you're looking for. With enrollment at well over 50,000, you can find people, groups, and clubs of any type to fit your lifestyle. The best part of UCF is that it is only getting better-- the campus itself is expanding, as well as the quality and amount of programs offered. UCF is an up and coming school, and a hugely exciting experience to take part in!

As a party school, it's very large, there isn't enough parking. The advisors aren't helpful, the offices are ran by students, you get the run around for every bit of info you ask for. I'm currently arguing in transfer credits, and for my COA to be adjusted from 14 cr hours to 17 which i am taking, I dont have enough financial aid, and am cut off my by current COA limits, because they are set to a lower standard than what I'm taking to graduate.

Seminole State College is best known for 'be yourself, only better.' I think that statement sums up why students choose starting off at my school rather than a four year university. For example, tutition is not as expensive as starting off at a four year institution. Students can still work full-time to pay for school and have money to pay bills without taking out loans. Seminole State College offers a variety of different courses as you continue to seek a bright future.
