Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

Wendy

I chose University of Central Florida because it was located in a busy city where I knew there would be something in the future for me. Many other schools do not have as many job opportunities as this one. Although this school was located in Orlando, it had it's own area in a "college" town. Perfect for students.

Gina

Ever year my school celebrates homecoming with Spirit Splash, a school wide pep rally, in and surrounding the Reflection Pond, where in the marching band, cheer leaders, and Starlet Knight come together and perform for the students.

Amber

UCF is a mixed environment and we don't allienate any one race or cultur, everyone has a place here and they can always find something on campus for them. Our meal options on campus vary from cuban, italian, asian, american, fast food, etc. They offer all types of possibilities within your reach.

Pedro

It the larger of the state schools in Florida, And it is located in one of the biggest cities in the state as well making it a great environment for such a big school

Molly

The school is diverse and has great programs in every academic field. There is an amazing education program, science program as well as every other program. There is deinitely a little something for everyone at this school. We are not isolated to the point where there is no life outside of the school but at the same time if you reside on campus, everything is at your finger tips and you don't need to go anywhere else.

Nicole

My school is unique compared to other schools because of the beautiful campus. There are many spots on campus where one could spend much time at. This is a good thing because it gives students a variety of enjoyable places to either study or even just meet up with friends.

Kristina

I like the diversity with race and gender it doesn't feel like all the same students attend UCF. I have visited plenty other schools and the students looked liked POD people to me,

Matt

Best campus and nicest surrounding area.

Joseph

very welcoming and diverse. A good learning environment. Beautiful campus. Always something to do on campus or in the surrounding area.

Rachel

our school doesn't look like a traditional college, its more contemporary. its such a great location because you have the bars near school, downtown orlando, and then the theme parks like universal and disney. theres always something to do and so much going on even on campus.

Tiovanni

THE VARIETY OF THINGS TO DO

Eva

It is in Florida! The weather is great. The community is great. The people are great. It's an amazing location with plenty to do in the surrounding area.

Michelle

I believe our school has a very diverse group of people. There is always something to do, both on and off campus.

Catherine

The area is a very nice one to live in in florida. It is close enough to the beach and the city. Also the campus felt more interested in the students with better first year experience programs than any other college I visited. The school is also relatively new and there is always new things being added that make the campus feel up to date. I also like that last year we decided to be as green as possible and have a campus that is actively involved inthe enviromental issues of today.

Trent

The design/layout of the school.

Sarah

Again, the campus. You can pretty much walk to everything and it gives you a community feel. I always saw people i knew walking around campus, even though its a big school

Brittany

The University of Central Florida is unique in many ways. The choice to study here was easy, as they offer competitive scholarships and immaculant research oppurtunities. The location is nice, only forty minutes to the beach and twenty minutes to the city. Many of the teachers here are very well established, one of them was just eleceted to Barack Obama's transition team. Overall, I felt that UCF offered everything I wanted in a college; competitive academics, affordability, and oppurtunity.

Jeanette

I think one of the most unique thing about UCF is it doesn't fit in the generic college mold perfectly. I mean its sports driven since the new stadium and arena have been built but also at the same time there is likely to be a free indie concert in front of the union. It has the amenities of a big university but with that down to earth bohemian style.

Aaron

UCF is growing at a phenomenal rate that surpasses the other major university's in the state of Florida.

Janyll

UCF has great internship porgrams. At the time I was applying I wanted to work at NASA and they are right by NASA so that made me want to go this school. Its in a great part of Florida, right in the middle. It was also far enough away from home to gain that college experience but close enough to be able to see family still and family is very important to me.

Jordan

There isn't too much uniqueness to it. It seems very similar to other Florida schools I've visited.

Latara

I think this universit y is unique because of their school spriit. The students and staff at the school have great school spirit that they portray in each and every game. I believe that is a part of the reason I chose this college because I want to attend a college that believes in its self and promotes school activities and unity. The school spirit is just amazing.

Rachel

The location and flexibility of courses.

Alexia

In comparison to other schools, my school has a modernized feel to it; everything is brand-new and state-of-the-art. I knew that the University of Central Florida was the school for me as soon as I stepped foot onto the campus and felt at home. Not only did I see my future on this large campus but I saw all that it had to offer me as well. I visited the other campuses and definately did not get that same feeling. Everyone here at UCF was very warm and inviting, introducing themselves and showing us around campus.

Erica

the people

Alyssa

The size is absolutely huge, adn all of the architecture is brick. The campus has lots of tress and squirrels on it though.

Caitlin

it was far enough away from home that i could feel out on my own but still could go home for a weekend here and there, it also had the exact major i was searching for, and the football program is just starting to take off so it's more fun tailgating and getting tickets becaise there is no one that has had season tickets in their family for 50 years

Lelia

The college campus I attend is very concentrated in the feild I study

Danielle

UCF is the second biggest school in Florida. I am so proud to be an alumni of this school. They just built a new foot ball stadium and a medical school. The school of Engineering has certain advantages, becase most of the the students work with disney and nasssua. The new medical school is the great additon and opens in August of next year. UCF is also an excellent school to do research. They provide several research opportunities and funding. Several social events on campus that really gets students involved.

Liz

UCF is a up and coming institute. It has been around for about 50 years but is gaining a reputation as Florida's newest and best school. The motto id UCF stands for opportunity, and it truly does. It has a diverse student population, educational programs, and so much to offer. I would recommend UCF as a school that has something for everyone. It's not traditional and stuffy like other schools in Florida, it is a open minded campus with a lot to offer!

Kristina

It has a very friendly environment.

Derek

Central Florida is home to many different ethnicities and college students from around the world. There are many important social skills students can learn in this rich culture. I'm happy to be apart of it.

Jaimie

Big campus, absolutely beautiful, top value campus's in america, beautiful dorms (looks like Disney), beautiful hospitality campus, and etc!

Michelle

I always loved the city-like feel of UCF, and since I toured the campus, I felt right at home. I feel like there's a more contemporary feel to UCF - from everything from the logo to the campus itself. Things are very upbeat, and people are generally very open and warm. And there is more to UCF than is seen at first sight. It is very possible to explore the campus as an activity in itself. The diversity of the campus and its students puts you right at home.

Zack

The type of people that live here make everything so different, unlike other schools where it's the same type of people.

Vivi

The University has invested a lot of its resources in the students. The campus is gorgeous and school spirit is certainly above average. The University is fairly young and that has its advantages and disadvantages but I do believe that this school is moving up in the academic world and it's emphasis on its students is certainly going to pay off.

Sarah

Despite being an enormous campus, UCF is structured so well that I rarely get lost. With the outer ring of residence halls, middle ring of classroom buildings, and inner ring of the Library and Student Union, I know exactly where I can find the places I need to go.

Alex

Don't jump into college if you don't know what you're going there for. If it's more expected of you, and your head and heart aren't set on it, it's a big waste of time and money.

i <3 ucf

Patrick

I show up high to my English class sometimes because it's the only way I can actually find that class moderately interesting. UCF has an awesome campus, I think we should keep expanding and become the largest school in the nation! Take that Ohio State! Spirit Splash is overrated Our football team will probably suck without Kevin Smith. The faculty in the Office of Student Involvement don't get paid enough. I know how much they earn. I tell people on my tours all the time to live off campus, it's WAY FREAKING CHEAPER! UCF wasn't my first choice school, but I'm really glad I go here and not where I wanted to go initially. The UCF police are quite nice. Students need to volunteer more often! This survey was longer then ten minutes.

Elizabeth

UCF is going to blow everyone's mind away, from outstanding academics to an interactive student body to victorious athletics. It is in a great location and has the best everything.

Amber

I love UCF and I really appreciate all of the opportunities. UCF really does stand for opportunity.

Bianca

UCF is a great school that is growing rapidly. It's not perfect, but it's working on it.
