The University of Central Florida is a very big school (over 50,000 students) which allows for a very diverse student body and faculty. There are so many different people on campus there is no way a person cannot fit in somewhere. UCF also really cares about their undergraduate students, building very nice new dorms and encouraging many different activities not only academically but recreationally as well.

Kelli

UCF offered French as a major, while the other school did not, and It's not a small school, but not too big, either.

Michael

The diversity that is found in every class room.

Brandon

The school is only less than three hours away from home unlike my other choices (fsu = 7 uf = 5). Leading school for computer related majors( In my opinion but I think if I research it will be true). Close to the disney and universal theme parks (even get student discounts at the ucf ticket office). Fantastic public transportation ( from what my cousin tells me, the buses in gainsville (UF) have a bit of a bug problem). The surrounding area was more visually pleasing than of what I 've seen at UF.

Amber

It is the largest university located close to my home. It also provides the opportunity to excel in Psychology by providing many intern opportunities.

Laura

I really enjoy going to Seminole State College for two main reasons. Let me first start off by the class sizes. Class sizes range from 12 to 30 students; this is much like a high school class size which helped me transition a lot easier. Since class sizes are smaller than a university, it allows more opportunities for one on one time with the teacher. Another main reason is the campus size. I went to the smaller campus in Oviedo. Since the campus was small I was not overwhelmed coming from a high school atmosphere.

Broc

the university of central florida seemed to be the best option for me out of all florida schools. It has so much to offer, including hundreds of different clubs to join and a variety of majors to choose from. UCF offers exactly what i need that fits my interests in regards to my future career.

Erika

The University of Central Florida has many unique traits, it is so different from other schools that it's the only school I even applied to. To begin with it's aesthetic points,UCF is one of the few schools to have a circular design, and in my opinion has one of the most beautiful building structures. Besides it's beauty, UCF offers more than just an excellent education in a students field of study, it offers an experience, with such a broad range of cultures a student can learn more than calculus, but also learns the beauty in diversity.

this is closest to my place. Cannot affort to go to different school.

Dominieq

What is unique about my school compared to other school s is it is very diverse. There are students here from different backgrounds and we coexist without problems. I like that UCF is very open, and encourages students to become knowledgeable about different cultures. UCF is a place that makes all people from all walks of life feel comfortable as though no one stands out, but we all are one community. We are a college community focused on making the world we live in today better. While doing so we will proudly exclaim "We are Knights!"

Michelle

UCF is Unique because because its always changing and getting better. Not to mention that most everybody is friendly and the proffesors are great and accessible if you need help with anything. The Student Academic Resource Center, or SARC, is great for tutoring or anything else you need. The streets by the Arena and the Towers are a great place to hang out too, it's where the tailgates happen and there are a bunch of shops and restaurants, my friends call it downtown UCF. The area is really great around UCF too!

Laura

UCF has different regional campuses which makes it easy to find a class that works around my work schedule.

Athena

Almost every service is free and the Orlando Theme Parks are close by.

Danielle

UCF is a huge school with many different people from all over. Each has a different outlook on life and offers something new to learn.

Ekta

Unlike most college campuses, UCF has a unique feel to it. Walking around campus midday you see the sun shining through the clouds, the birds tweeting in the sky, and hundreds of college students roaming around trying to get a great education. Unlike other schools, the campus is known as one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation. It's feel is just what makes it so unique. The lifestyle and school spirit make everyday worth being here.

Amy

Huge football stadium & very personable fun students! I have made many friends here! There are also students of all ages here so

Adam

The University of Central Florida is an amazing college with one of the nicest campuses I have ever seen. Despite UCF's impressive size of 53,000 students, professors truly care about you and your academics. Not only do we have a brand new fitness center and lap pool, we also have state-of-the-art classrooms and a four-story Student Union. Concerning living arrangements, my friends who visit from other colleges have said, "This does not feel like a dorm ... this feels like a resort!"

Sarah

UCF is located in Orlando, so it is not simply a college town with nothing to do but "party" on weeknights or weekends. Just as diverse as the city is with things to do, cultural opportunities and entertainment, so is the UCF campus itself. There are people studying here from not only all over the state but all over the United States and even throughout the world.

Adriana

One of the things that I love about UCF is the possibility you as student can be involved in all of the activities they provide in the university. In addition, one of the advantages of UCF is that it offers classes in other campuses which give more opportunities to those students that live far from the main campus. In fact, I am taking advantage of this opportunity that the university offers as I live very far from the main campus and I am taking my classes in Valencia Community College West.

Ajla

The most unique thing I would say about my school is the doors of opportunities it offers all students. These opportunities I believe are different from what most universities offer. Every school offers an education, but the University of Central Florida provides an opportunity for every student to improve as individuals through research and intership opportunities, connections with some of the largest volunteer organizations, and most of all the school has the tools to prepare every student to become a professional and charismatic individual. Being one of the largest schools in the country, I believe UCF has the largest heart.

Richard

The University of Central Florida offers one of the most well regarded Programs in my major. Additionally, UCF was one of my top prospective schools because it is especially welcoming to Transfer Students, offering not only specific programs, but also financial aid in the form of Transfer Student Scholarships. The fact that the campus isn't too far from home is an added luxury that not many students have and at UCF, I am constantly reminded of just how fortunate I really am to be surrounded by such potentiality.

Alexandra

The campus layout was very simple. Everything's in a giant circle, so it was easy to figure out where everything is. Also, the buildings are closer together and the campus is relatively new.

Tyler

The University of Central Florida's most distinguish characteristic that makes it the most unique to me is the atomsphere. On all the other campuses i have visited in Florida, UCF provided the welcoming feeling that makes it more attractive to inquire. Here I feel as if this is a home away from home because not only the staff friendly, helpful, and resourceful, but I made lifelong friends that act as my family and never forgets about me. I think only here is the atomosphere is inviting, and calm enough while others are to centralize on a certain attitude.

Katie

It has such a wide selection of majors and minors. It has many outstanding programs that most other schools cannot claim.

Nnika

The University of Central Florida campus is filled with more diverse and animated students compared to the other universities that I visited. UCF Knights, as the students are called, consists of thousands of culturally different people pursuing many of the hundreds of areas of study that the university offers. The heart of the campus, the Student Union, is always lively with school sponsored events or fraternity and sorority performances. Although the campus is gigantic, there is always someone on campus that you will relate to?you won?t ever feel alone.

Lucas

The most unique aspect about my school as compared to other schools I had looked at is the campus. It is an awesome place; which is getting bigger and better each and every year. The buildings are state-of-the-art with many areas for students to spend time and enjoy themselves.

Erin

The most unique thing about UCF is the new football stadium that was opened in 2007. The stadium is located on UCF's main campus with an awesome atmosphere from the fans. The student section is loud and obnoxious and cool to be apart of during games. The tailgating scene is huge with people grilling miles from the stadium!

Daniel

Everything on campus is relatively new and nice.

Zandria

The students and professors work well together in order to keep the classes going and attaining more knowledge.

Courtney

UCf has the best, if not the second best, Hospitality school in the country, and some might say the largest in the world. Not many schools can say they have the largest of a certain school in the entire world. That makes UCF unique to me. No other school in Florida could offer me that.

Olufunmilayo

My school is unique because it is constantly expanding and there is always room to grow. The school is constantly being renovated and new buildings are always underway. At my school, I feel like I am getting my money's worth because there is never a short supply of renovations. A lot of students here have created a new meaning for UCF; it now stands for under construction forever. UCF is building a bright future for itself because it is always changing and reinventing itself. Change is need in order to facilitate growth.

Cristina

Location and the dedication of the staff and faculty were key for my decision to apply to UCF. The regional campuses at UCF offer students the opportunity to attend this great school, and have the support from the main campus, while being able to reside out of the city. I chose UCF because I would be able to continue to live in my town, while being able to be part of this great school.

Samantha

My school has a huge campus, perfect for walking around and getting in shape. It also has the a homecoming tradition like no other school: the Spirit Splash. This is where students jump in the fountain that's between the library and the administration building.

Tonya

My school is unique in that it offers students the opportunity to have an alcohol alternative. Once a month, students are encouraged to attend an event called Late Knights. This is an event that allows students to have fun, dance, do activities, and eat without any alcoholic beverages. This is in honor of the many students that die across the nation due to alcoholic and drug related actions. I have never gone to another school that takes the situation as seriously and has such a strong program for it.

Laura

I think my school has a lot of diversity. There are many things to do on campus and many different clubs and associations to join. There is a well balanced atmospehere and that is what I like the most.

Charmaine

My school is so unique because they ensure that you will do well in the courses you take. They also make sure that you will be well prepared for life in the field in which your degree will be received.

Kelly

What really struck me about UCF is that even though the campus is huge and the population is enormous it retains a degree of intimacy that is immensely relieveing when starting out and everyone was very welcoming which makes you feel more confident and optimistic.

Jennifer

The Campus is very diverse.

Vicky

Multicultural

Autumn

The University of Central Florida is not only literally beautiful, but also figuratively beautiful. The university offers a vast range of majors while also allwoing classes to be specialized enough so that a student can recieve a proper education and be prepared to step into the real world after recieving their major. UCF is unique because every year the university attempts to better itself and strives to offer more to students, prospective and current.

Ericca

My school is unique because it's so diverse in many ways. Each direction your eyes catch you see the diversity of cultures and personalities of students. I love that UCF is colorful in its surroundings. It has such an accomodating atmospher for everyone.

jhonatan

Felicia

The way I feel when I am on campus, I toured many schools but there was something about UCF that drew me in. People were friendly and the enviorment was fun. I wanted to go here, I've looked forward to it since I applied. In fact it was the only school I applied to because the enviorment and the people drew me in right away. This was the only campus that I felt comfortable on and I knew this was where I could spend four years.

Jessica

I like the free feeling that comes from this school. I was interested in other schools but they were alot more restricted on programs and less organizations available.

David

My school emphasizes the importance of the math and science fields for future employment; the community may not be the best, but together we treat each other well and most of the time, like family. Other schools either showed me great academics or great football skills, UCF appealed to me by showing me great academics with a really fun community. No matter if any of our teams win or lose, the spirit never waivers with UCF and we look forward to the future.

David

I actually didn't consider any other schools, I was limited financially to this one.

Stephanie

The Univeristy of Central Florida is a school with over 50,000 students. And with such a great number of students attending, the school still manages to create a unique environment with something for everyone. It has given me the opportunity to meet new people in each class and any time I am on campus I learn something new.

Vanessa

My school is strategically located near several large companies that offer intership and coops to students attending it. Especially as an engineering major, this local access to internships is very valuable.

Crystal

Unlike the other schools I applied to, UCF continues to satisfy all of my needs! Despite being in central Florida, the huge circular campus gave me the "big city feel" that I was used to. The racial diversity, academic competition, and helpful staff members all contributed my selection! UCF stands for Opportunity, and that is exactly what I have found in my year and a half of being here!

Joseph

It is a service learning school with high emphasis on career and community service.
