University of Central Florida Top Questions

It has a really beautiful and clean campus. Most of the other ones were just really unkempt. The teachers also have higher ratings on the website ratemyprofessor.com. The sudents here are also really nice and friendly I have made so many new friends!

Not only is UCF one of the South's up and coming schools, but what attracted me to my school was the flexibility that it offered. It has 11 campuses located within 11 Florida counties, as well as alternative modes of teaching, such as web and video streaming courses. As a husband, father of 3 children, and the sole breadwinner of the household, this flexibility is necessary to further my education. With a regional campus 2 minutes from my home, I'm able to easily handle any on-campus issues conveniently.

I love the size and location of my school. It is the fifth largest school in the nation and has just about everything anyone could need right on campus. Theres tons of school spirit, things to do, people to meet, and activities to get involved in. Best of all, UCF is a short fifteen minute drive from my home. The tuition is remarkably affordable as well. I find myself seaching for a few thousand dollars in financial aid compared to tens of thousands of dollars I would have needed to attend Embry Riddle, Florida Tech, or the University of Michigan.

UCF's location is amazing. In Orlando there's so much to do everywhere you go and the campus life is very embracing to freshmen and new students. The campus is like its own city and has everything you could possibly need from a health center and a gym to restauraunts and a colossal sized library.

Small class size is a wonderful atribute to this college. You really get to know your professors.

Compared to other schools I have considered, the University of Central Florida has a great academic standing and there have been numerous very successful people that are part of the alumni.

NA

I allows me to go to a regional campus close to home. The campus is still very connected with the main campus, so i dont miss out on social events.

Many buildings are close to each other, so walking from class to class is not a daunting task. It is convenient, considering that it is a big campus. Other facilities are put in convenient locations such as the gym is near on-campus housing. Transportation on campus is quick and easy due to the circular structure of roads that surround the campus.

I live in Brevard County and UCF offers the flexibility of two local campuses one in Palm Bay and Cocoa, instead of driving to Orlando I can complete my work and take courses in any one of those two campuses; saving time and money.

What is unique about my school compared to other schools I considered is the fact students enjoy spending their time at the University.

It is in a big city, so it is not just a college town. Because Orlando is big, it offers great opportunity for internships, jobs, and extracurricular activities.

What makes my school unique compared to other schools is that it is close to my home. I really have not considered other schools because they are far from home yet I am glad that UCF offers a range of programs. I am also very excited that UCF continues to introduce new programs in the medical field, which is what I am interested in. I also recently read they were introducing an architecture program which is what my husband is studying for. With these new programs more and more students can persue their education and profession close to home.

What's unique about my school is that although it is one of the bigger campuses, there is so much warmth and friendliness that is in constant vibration, the feeling of being alone never exists. What factored most in my choice is that UCF prides itself in striving for the best for its students instead of racing to be at the top. To this day, I have never disagreed with my decision to be a UCF Knight. Go Knights!

Besides the variety of programs that the school offers, i really enjoy the atmosphere that is present at UCF. Although a large school with an equally large and diverse population of students can be daunting for a future student, after spending some time here, I realized that the students here are more inviting and easier to communicate and be around then i had originally thought. The students AND teachers, no matter what race, are all welcoming and enjoyable.

We have the largest NORML chapter in the country.

The location of UCF is perfect; it is not a completely college town but the immediate area is. There is a lot to do, unlike many other locations. Plus, it is close enough to my parents house so I can visit often but not too often.

One of the largest schools in the country but still very affordable.

This school is in the heart of Orlando which is a great city to live with plenty to do

UCF has a brand new football stadium and arena that attract students for many exciting, social events!

One of the best things about UCF is the fact that no matter how many students there are, there is always a chance to form bonds with your professors and fellow students/ collegues. There is a club for everything and UCF is always willing to sponsor new clubs and ideas. Every department I have dealt with, has been more than helpful- always going the extra step. UCF cares about you as an individual even as a large university, I have never felt like just a number. The community is always so warm and giving.

UCF is very conveniently located. I am a pre-med student and therefore internships and volunteering is vital for my medical school application. Being in a large city such as Orlando enables me to work and volunteer is many hospitals and health facilities. The actual campus is located in somewhat of a college area and not in the actual city which makes it great also because you get a little bit of both enviornments (college area and city).

UCF feels like a college should feel. All of the other schools felt like they were spread over an entire country. Even though UCF is the third largest school in the nation, UCF feels like a small tight knit community.

It is an intimate school, large but in a fairly residential area of a larger city.

The location, environment and cultral diversity makes my school unique as compared to other schools that I considered.

One of the first things that I noticed when coming to UCF was the great emphasis on diversity. This school is a melting pot of different people--not just ethnicity--but style. The campus is home to native Floridians, out-of-state kids, and numerous foreigners. My school is unique due to this varied nature.

What is very unique about UCF is that it maintains a close knit environment among students, faculty, and staff all while continuing to grow.

Close to home

Compared to the other colleges that I was accepted to, I felt that UCF would provide me with more opportunities to gain valuable internship experience with my particular major. Since it is located in Orlando, FL, many established businesses have rooted themselves here. Since I eventually want to work in the Sports or Entertainment Industry, I felt that Orlando would be a great fit for me.

The university of Central Florida is very focused on a person's success and academic achievement. It is a very diverse school that challenges you intellectually and the professors are very caring, professional and attentive to each students needs.

There is diversity at every college, but I have never seen an accumulation of different people like there are at the University of Central Florida. We have a little over 50,000 students. Looking at the different people on campus everyday is astounding. There are a consortium of different cultures, nationalities, ethnicities, and religions. It is exciting to know that I am part of something that much larger than myself.

Every universtiy is unique in its own way. The University of Central Florida is unique because it has over 350 clubs and organizations students can participate in. It has a outdoor activites that are great for people who like to stay active. UCF has a lot of resturants and shopping malls on campus. UCF is unique because it is in the center of Orlando which is one of florida's main economic provider because of the attraction sites for tourists. UCF is located in a city that provides many opportunities for people.

FAR AWAY FROM HOME

I think my school is unique is many ways. The layout of the campus is very user friendly, and everything is so centrally located. There are tons of options for dining, and the school provides lots of activities to keep the average student occupied. The school is also very close to lots of off campus restaurants, clubs, and shops. This makes it very convenient for the students at UCF.

UCF is a very inviting environment.

Campus involvement is by far the least at this university that the other colleges and universities that I have attended.

I allows anyone of any race to receive academic help as well as help with finances and graduating. I have also wanted to go to UCF

I love my school because there are so many different things that it offers for everyone that goes there.

At the university of Central Florida the school offers maids for the dorms, a growing population but there no over crowding in the classrooms. Also, the people are friendly and you quickly adapt to a group of people through the various on campus events.

UCF had more resources to help me out.

UCF is a very exciting, friendly school. The resources here are unbelievable.

Compared to community colleges , universities like UCF force the students to learn more about the material the course is teaching. I experinced this with my art classes. I took Drawing 1 and Design 1 in Valencia Community College. My Drawing 1 and Design 1classes in Valencia did not demand much work out of the students and would give an A for just doing the assigment. After finishing Valencia and taking Drawing 2 and Design 2 at UCF the professors had standards for the students to fullfill and expected many hours to be put in the work.

We have a wonderful school spirit and helpful faculty and staff.

Univeristy of Central Florida is demographically and logistically sound for my degree.

Variety of classes and a very large campus with all the facilities that each student wants. No body is left behind and everyone is treated equally.
