UCF is probably known for being so large. We have a gorgeous campus and tons of activities, but most of them are based around the greek community. The school is so large it is nearly impossible to find parking on a regular school day, and some of the classes, particularly general education courses, are crammed with students. It also makes it difficult to enroll in all the classes you need each semester. The size of the school has possitive attributes as well, such as tons of organizations and groups to consider.
