Kaya

The best thing about UCF is their honors college, The Burnett Honors College. Being a member of the honors college allows you to experience the intimacy of a small school while really being enrolled in a large university.

A.J.

There are great majors, courses, and instructors. The support system is fantastic. Offered on campus are tutoring classes, events such as Intership Seminars, Career Seminars and such.

Alexandra

I love the school's location. It is close to both of my parents so that I will be able to visit them every week. Also the campus is beautiful, and the campus is large. I attended a very small school so i have always wanted to attend a large school with a lot of available activities and I know that's what i'll get when i attend UCF.

The Students and Faculty

Heidi

The professors really no what their talking about and the admissions and finacial aid people are amazing! I had such an easy time with admissions and fincial aid because they were really helpful and would bend over backwards for you.

Kathy

The best thing about my school is that they work well with the local community colleges to inable students like me to transition from an associates degree to a bacholars degree without having to change locations. The photography program that I am in is completed all at Daytona State College within the same building. So I am able to finish my associates and bacholars degree without up rooting myself or my son.

Jasmine

The people. Everyone is friendly and willing to help.

Morgan

The campus! For a student looking for the college experience along with great teachers and academics, UCF is the best school. There is so much to do on and off campus. There are tons of programs set up to help students and allow them to do their best. There are clubs and groups for just about anything you can imagine. The campus is like a mini-town and all grouped together. Off campus you lots to choose from for any activity. I really got the college experience without jeoperdizing my academics.

Michael

The research opportunities and friendliness of the lecturals

Anthony

the school spirit is great and the people are friendly

Megan

We are treated like individuals and the students truly seem to be the priority to the entire staff at UCF. With a student body of over 50,000 students, it amazes me how the staff gives you individual attention when you need it. We have amazing programs that provide free tutors to students, we have professors that take time to talk to you and help you discuss your options if your struggling in a class, we have outside of the classroom services that help you anytime you feel your safety is at risk. The school truly cares about its students.

connor

The campus, its huge.

Andrew

The best thing about UCF is it's intimacy despite it's size. UCf is the third largest school in the country right now, nonetheless, in the two semesters I've attended, not once have I ever just felt like a number. From counsellors, to the financial aid office, to the actual classroom, I've always received the help I need, or had my questions anwered. I've attened smaller community colleges in the past, and though the course work at UCF is definitely elevated, the attitude of the university is not.

Gina

The best thing about my school is the variety of majors and therefore carreer tracks to choose from. Since there is so much diversity in people and desires, UCF offers many different courses that any person can relate their future to.

Danielle

The best thing about UCF is the football games. Almost everyone attends the games and it is a great way to bring everyone together to show support for our university.

Cortney

The faculty and staff at UCF are by far the best asset. They are so helpful and supportive, and have developed tons of programs to help students get the help they need. From learning support services to financial aid, I have never came across a person who was not eager and pleased to be able to help me with my problems. It is an awesome feeling to know there is always someone there to help you out.

Jonathan

I consider the avalability of learning material and tutoring to be the best thing. There is a lot of out of class help and programs in every subject for people who need extra studying to grasp the material. Individual and group tutoring is avalabal and is often encouraged by the deparments to attent in order to further your own learning.

Robert

The best thing about my school is that its easily accessible and filled with a diverse amount of people. Classes are full, but not overpacked like some other campuses.

Christopher

The atmosphere! It suits anyone and everyone!

Ashlyn

I really enjoy the fact that UCF is an extremely diverse school and you can and will meet lots of different types of people here.

Brandon

The best thing about UCF is that it is so versatile. Everyone fits in somewhere and there are no outsiders. The school strives for the highest levels of of success through academics, athletics, clubs, extracurriculars, the community, and alumni. All in all this school is a hybrid and the future of the nation in the professional fields.

Michael

It's considerably new, so I like how modern it looks and how it's not like your traditional old-style college. I think that because it looks like where I grew up (South Florida), I was more inclined to preferring this school rather than other schools in Florida.

Joshua

The Best Thing about my school is that they have everything I need on campus which includes great places to eat and buy school supplies and also the school has programs that help benefit me. The programs are a math lab which helps with my math homework if i get stuck, a writing center where people read your essay and help get your idea across to you, check for errors and other ways that will help. The campus has activities which are held on campus like Late Knight and there is Link Loot for freshmen which gets you prizes.

Gregory

Some of the best things that i consider about University of Central Florida is how modern it is. The dorms feel more like a hotel than a typical college dorm. I have noticed the student population is very friendly and helpful compared to those i've seen at other schools. Everyone is willing to help each other out and everyone gets along for the most part. The facilities are also modern so the gym is state of the art. It is always packed but they are expanding to try and accomodate everyone.

Ian

I like that it is like a mini city. Urban but with woodland and grassy areas.

Brittany

There's a lot of involvement throughout the campus. I think that if you're comming to college for a good time; this is defiinently the college. My advice is to choose your teachers wisely though. Have an inside voice from others, so that you don't get stuck with a bad teachers. Teachers affect your grade and gpa a lot. BE WISE! Also, there's lots of free food and events.

classes availability

Tyler

The best thing about my school is the variety within and outside the campus. This is so because there are hundreds of opportunities from friends, researchs, school activites, jobs that are too numerous to account. In addition, Orlando is outside of the campus and there is always something happening in Orlando that can as well as expand my herizon or give me something to do. It great living in an Orlando area except for the traffic that is never good.

Tara

The best thing about my school is the diversity. There are so many people from all different walks of life and this has given me the opportunity to learn more about different cultures. It has also afforded me the opportunity to meet people who have different ways of thinking and I have become more open minded from this experience.

Katrina

The best thing about my school is that everyone is a part of campus life and the community. UCF is a well rounded school not only in education but clubs, organizations, social life, and embracing others religions, ethnicities and beliefs. This is not a school where the fraternities and sororities run the campus. Everyone gets involved and has an equal say about school decisions and organizations helping out others around the world. Just yesterday, we had a huge barbeque and fundraiser for those suffering in Haiti. Here at UCF, I feel a part of a family.

Graham

How much opportunity is here and how everyone is nice and looks out for eachother

Ryan

UCF's best feature is its size. With over 52,000 students, there is a guarantee that there are students and organizations with interests similar to you.

Stevie

The location.

Robyn

How large it is

Tiffany

my school put students intrest first, which i believe is best quality

Gabriel

I think the best thing about UCF is that it offers a lot of choices. Being a big school has its perks in that unlike some smaller schools, you do have a great deal of choices in terms of your major. UCF also offers a lot of extra opportunities to take your education a step further in preparing you to actually do something with the degree you are earning.

Samuel

The best thing about my school is the ability to interact with people from all over the world as well as receive help with academics as needed. Meeting and networking with people of other cultures allows one to open their mind to the world around them. If there is ever a problem with any studies, there is always someone that can help.

Jordan

It would probably be how new and clean the campus is, and there is an abundant variety of restaurants to eat at on campus. Also the dorms and living quarters are very nice as well, but I still think the best part about this school is how well kept it is.

Courtney

I find that the students on campus are all focused. It seems like everyone has a purpose, and a goal they are trying to reach. I love that everyone is focused, and it just shows that this is an awesome school. It has motivated students, and the professors help the students achieve their goals.

Celia

The location is the best thing about the University of Central Florida. It's close enough to Downtown Orlando, the attractions, and the beach to really enjoy them but far enough so that UCF is still it's own little community.

Erica

Our school is the biggest school in Florida. It offers three hundred and fifty clubs and organizations students can participate in. I feel the teachers are very intelligent and our school is very diverse in population. It offers all kinds of fun concert and athletic events.

Cristina

The best thing about UCF is the great support offered by the faculty and staff. Personally, the faculty at the Palm Bay campus has inspired me to reach for the best, and to continue to fulfill my academic dreams. I am very proud to be a student at UCF!

Samantha

The best thing about my school is the diversity of the people and number of people who go here. You can always find a group of friends to hang out with and take some of the stress of college off with them. With all the different kinds of people there are also numerous kinds of activities going on and you can learn a lot about a culture by getting to know a few of those people.

Sheria

Being a senior now, I really can't say that there just one best thing about my school. Overall UCF is really an awesome, well-rounded university. Just knowing how much UCF has developed since it first was opened in 1963 entitled, Florida Technological University is amazing. The campus is absolutely beautiful. Professors were (in my own gained experience) great educators. UCF's web portal used for registering for classes, financial aid, webcourses, etc. for students is very effective and convenient for students. Students and faculty are very friendly and very accepting of all the diverse cultures and ethnicities.

Raleigh

My major: Legal Studies. It is unique from Pre-Law and Political Science in that only a handful of colleges offer it in the entire United States. My dream (which I am living) is going to law school and helping change the legislature in this country to give people more freedoms. Land of the free and home of the brave. That is my mission. Specifically, the right to love whomever one chooses. I am very passionate about helping others. Furthermore, if law school does not happen immediately, I can easily become a paralegal, thanks to my degree in Legal Studies.

Tyler

For me UCF was the right choice because it is local to my home town and an inexpensive school compared to other universities in Florida.

Amanda

The best thing about UCF is how welcoming it is to the incoming freshman. Everyone (admisistration and other students) are more than egar to help out; you never feel inferior asking for help.

Devin

The best thing about going to the University of Central Florida is the fact that they make distance learning at a four year college easy for students/ I am taking classes in Cocoa rather than having to drive to Orlando a few times a week because Cocoa is much closer to me.

Todd

One word instantly comes to mind when considering the best thing about UCF: Community. Everywhere I look while wandering the campus, I can actually see what it means to be a community. Students, faculty, or even just friends of family all come together for any number of shared purposes. These common purposes range from political views to break dancing, from break dancing to Italian culture, and everything in between. Becoming a part of the UCF community has made leaving home for the first time feel like I never really left at all.
