University of Central Florida Top Questions

The climate, the campus, and the people make the University of Central Florida an awesome school to attend. I enjoy the football andd basketball games, as well as being involved with the Metal Knights club. The campus is beautiful and the school is constantly growing. I am the only person from my high school to attend this school.

UCF is it's own community. While there is nothing smalll about it, it feels like home. UCF does its best to ensure that the students receive the best education possible.

Valencia is a stepping stone to UCF which accepts all the credits that one receives at the valencia CC. The uniqueness of this campus is that it has all the elements of a major university with a tint of what was left behind, high school. Since I am an Orlando Resident, I can stay at home and it is only a 15 minute drive to campus. The teaching is absolutely fantastic with the ability to pre choose the teachers based on student evaluation online.

The campus is rennovated and a lot more up-to-date. It's really a much more aesthetically appealing campus. It's close to downtown, but far enough to avoid crime and those pesky tourists. It's population is enormous, but truth is, the school is so spread out that'd you'd never even notice. The campus is truelly like a little city, it's awsome!

Great teachers who are passionate about their jobs.

UCF is a young school that doesn't have established traditions like older schools. This allows students to create new traditions that will continue on as a legacy and fortify a spirit through the students and community . Our school focuses on academics and has a reputation for success. Students go here because they know they are benefitting from their education. We are also unique since we are located in a metropolis of businesses; allowing students to gain work experience before they graduate, setting them above their peers from more rural schools.

The size.

What is unique about my school is that it is the 3rd largest University in the United States. It is extremely diverse and you meet with hundreds of diferent people which allow you to gain knowledge about culture and gain an insight on networking. This school is anything but tedious, there are hundreds of different activities going on and the campus is remarkable. It is a very presitgious University and it is located in Orlando where Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure is located, along with many other attractions nearby.

The faculty and staff is extremely helpful and engaging.

UCF has provided students with many opportunities. From professors that will help you one on one, or the career service office to help students find internships or help them with interview skills and resume writing, UCF has got it all. The social life on campus is amazing and there are so many clubs to join. The health center and gym are one of the best in the state and are constantly being upgraded.

Diversity

My school is one the largest universities in the nation so we have a diverse group of students coming as one. With the diversity at our school, a person will learn about other people's backgrounds/culture and will learn more about who they are and what they want to be. Not many schools in the nation can offer that (diversity) to their students.

Location, UCF is the largest school so close to Orlando.

I never in a million years thought I would be going to a school with this many kids but somehow UCF made it seem like although there are over 35,000 students at my campus that that it was still small and intimate.

One unique situation of my school is class size. I've never heard of people being in core engineering classes surrounded by 200 classmates. It would be easy to look at this as a disadvantage, however, I choose not to. If you are willing to do anything necessary to accomplish your goals then nothing should deter you from your path. A larger class size also has more people to study with, a wide and diverse group to make new friends, and there's no shortage of alternate opinions to reach the best conclusion.

Hmmm.... the naked truth. I like UCF really does stand for opportunity. You get out of UCF what you put in. If you come in with an open mind and are ready to learn, you will truly have a wonderful experience. UCF is a growing school with wonderful opportunies for students. I was able to intern at a prominent hospital in Orlando thanks to UCF. I personally knew the Dean of HPA by name and gained close relationships with many faculty members. UCF is a wonderful school!! GO KNIGHTS!

The career and internship oppurtunties UCF offers are very unique. Due to our location and credibilty, we have close ties with major corporations such as Disney, Lockheed Martin, NASA, and several others. These close relationships allow students amazing internship and co-op experiences that no other school can offer. Another facet of our university that is unqiue is its newness; we are a young school that is constantly starting new traditions. The students really do make the university and the traditions, not the other way around.

Unlike other schools I was considering in Florida, UCF has a diverse environment off-campus. Within a short distance you can experience the wilderness or the city. This variation was ideal to me for more than recreational purposes. In addition it provides an incredible amount of opportunity for every major offered in our school. As a biology major I can learn both the business and fieldwork side of my degree and have many research opportunities since the area is teeming with businesses and nature reserves. Location was the final deciding factor when investing my future in a college.

This school has alot more people than the last college I attended, and the people are alot more friendly. Also, the campus is very spread aout and has alot of room, its not all crammed together.

UCF is very energy efficient; they have solar powered signs and plugs for electric cars and all the new buildings are required to be Green approved.

I feel UCF differs from other schools in the rate of its growth. The school has added many new buildings and programs since the day I first began as a Freshman. We are still one of the largest universitites in the country and and still growing and gaining notoriety. I chose UCF not only because of its location, but because of the welcoming and "at home" feelings I felt when I was on campus. I feel happy and proud to be exciting of something always trying to move forward and improve.

It is one of the largest schools in the country.

At The University of Central Florid students can be freely expressive through the many clubs and organizations repreented at the school.

Compared to the other in sate schools i considered, UCF seemed to make getting involved on campus virtually effortless, with a myriad of opportunities at every turn. More specifically, the UCF Student Government Association completely won me over with its easily involved structure and simultaneous professionalism.

University of Central florida is located in the perfect location. Being so close to the entertainment industry UCF has a ton of connections. Once you graduate form UCF you are almost guaranteed a job.

It's close enough to where I live; also, there are plenty of theme parks around.

Living in Orlando there is so much more to do than just party and get drunk over the weekend

It is growing and becoming larger every year.

I really like that in the education program I will graduate with a reading and ESOL endorsement. It's great that UCF has put this program together that infuses the training for the mentioned endorsements into the classes that we are already required to take for graduation.

The University of Central Florida is unique compared to other schools because it has such an appealing campus. Although it is currently under construction, I dont mind because I know that in the end the school will look amazing! The campus is so bright and happy, that it motivates one to learn.

We have a lot of on and off campus options, well rounded, and we are right next to Disney World! What's not to love?

As the third largest university in the nation, the tremendous size in enrollment of more than 53,000 students may seem daunting; however, when on campus, one does not garner a sense of a large student body, but rather a smaller one. The University of Central Florida offers myriad opportunities to seek a sense of belonging and community through over 350 registered student organizations that appeal and embrace the diversity of each student?s passion and personal identity. Consequently, the student organizations further maximizes the opportunity to expand social connections, encourage leadership, and make a difference in people?s lives.

UCF is young, but is on the rise fast, these are exciting times for us!

It is a four year university, compared to a community college or a 2 year school. It has new programs opening up all the time, such as a new Architectural Program in 2010. It is one of the cheapeast schools in Florida as far as tuition,room and board, books, etc costs. It is a fairly new school, so it is more up and coming as compared to schools that are already developed.

UCF was really the only school I considered.

My school's unique qualities are in it's academic programs and student body. Out of the public universities I considered, UCF is the only institution that offers a degree in Legal Studies and has such a large and diverse student body that will enable me to get involved and meet so many different people. I can truly get involved here and learn what I'm most interested in.

My school offers something for any type of student. The variety of classes, people, clubs etc. is far greater than any other school in Florida that I've seen or heard of.

Their ability to push students to become someone positive in life once they are done with school.

I attended Florida International University before going to the University of Central Florida and I find UCF to be much more academically challenging and rewarding in terms of how much knowledge is gained in classes.

The ultimate deciding factor for choosing which universities to attend came down to the overall atmosphere. I needed a school that would allow me to find myself . UCF certainly posses this quality which set it apart from other schools I considered attending. Also there are many traditions that are being formed all the time for having a newer athletic program, the school spirit of UCF is overwhelming. Whether at a televised football game against Miami U or at a volleyball game, the students show superior spirit and enthusiam.

Its a beautiful campus that is always well cleaned and kept up. They have a wonderful gym that they are actually expanding to get newer equipment and to be able to better accommodate more people. There are many wonderful areas to study at, and during the final exam period, they keep the Student Union open for 24 hours for studens to have a quiet place to study at. UCF now has their own dentist office on campus which just opened up along with having a Health Center so you dont have to go off campus to see a doctor.

It has a large, comfortable campus that I can study in and yet feel at home at, even during the day. There are a multitude of resources at my disposal, and the campus itself is self-sufficient and offers a variety of places to eat and hang out before, in-between and after my classes.

Although UCF is among the top 5 largest universities in the United States, it only seems like it in the most positive sense. The school spirit here is amazing and it is best felt at sporting events. The size is never overwhelming, which is, I'm sure, hard to imagine and hard to fine. But it exists here, and that is an incredible thing to become a part of.

I was considering all florida university's, and UCF stood out to me. UCF was the only one i found tht was improving at such a rapid pace. In the first semester i have been here i have seen 2 new buildings and a gym addition being added on. It was by far the best campus to live on as everything is compacted into a circle. The greek life is very big here, but it is not everthing if you choose not to join such as a school like UF. Choosing UCF was the best decision have ever made!!!

Our school has one of the best recreation and wellness centers in the nation; it has the state of the art equipment and is currently being renovated for a better lap and leisure pool.

We have a lot of school spirit and we are extremely large. 3rd largest in the nation.

I liked the feel of UCF. It has a good campus and the students seemed to be interested in furthering their education.

My school is unique because it is relatively new and very beautiful.

The University of Central Florida is unique in the fact that we are the 3rd largest school in the nation. We are located in Orlando, Florida which is a very large city and allows students to have such a great cultural experience outside of the university.

My school is unique in the way that it is like that of a town. Ucf's campus is structed the way the Disney's Magic Kingdom is. The center or the castle is our student union. The campaus is somewhat new and can be confused with day spa due to our wellness center. Students could be mistakenly considered pampered, but overall the campus is there for what it was designed for, to help students learn. The area off campus is uninspiring as well as the city that surrounds it. Orlando can be intriguing, if your pockets were loaded.
