University of Central Florida Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Jennifer

The food on campus is really good.

Diemcac

The best thing about my school would have to be the community itself, in my opinion. There are many resources available to the students, from computer labs to writing centers, tutoring to printing labs. There are many restaurants and shops also. There's a health center on campus with a pharmacy, and now there's also a dental center available to the community. Along with resources, there's something here for everyone. Hundreds of clubs and organizations can be found on campus. With roughly 54,000 students at the University, you never feel alone.

Irina

The layout is great because of the Student Union being the center and then everything around in a circle. The university is fairly new and building so all the facilities are nice and clean, besides the library maybe.

Erin

everything the campus has to offer, from restaurants to staff that help you with everything you need.

Jasmin

I LOVE all the free stuff my school gives out :)

Alessandra

I am an online student for the most part and I am happy that they offer the option to do the classes involved in the undergrad psychology degree online as I have been too ill to go to school in person.

Sarah

The best thing about the school is probably the campus and amount of information available just by walking around. The campus being one of the largest in the nation has a vast variety of buildings and structures to discover. Inside and even around these buildings you can find so much about the school or issues that captivate the minds of the students attending UCF. One can always find a stand set up by fellow students based on anything from a yoga club to a democratic club to a club about animal abuse.

Jace

I conider the fact that the school is so young to be my favorite attribute. It is not old and haggard like some of the other schools that I have visited before choosing UCF, instead it is new, exciting and beautiful. I love the campus, the classrooms, the support facilities, and practically everything else associated with this campus. If I had to go back and choose again, I would still pick the University of Central Florida to be my school of choice.

Kate

For me, the location and price are the two best things about my school.

Ryan

The best thing about this school is that, with being located in a metropolitan area, you can always find something to do. The community on and off campus is bustling with excitement and activities to do. It is as if the city is a part of our campus. Musical performances, theatre shows, sports events, etc - UCF branches throuought the entire city. Once you are a part of a breathing and thriving coommunity like UCF, the city is your oyester.

Detrachia

The best thing about UCF is...the atmosphere. It's in sunny Florida and so USUALLY it's hot and sticky and wonderful. Plus we live in Orlando, so Disney loves partnering with UCF to create opportunities for volunteer work, internships, and potential job positions. There's just a lot of opportunity here and it's a relaxing area.

Cesar

I love the atmoshpere of UCF. It's a very college orientated town compared to my previous community college and University of Miami. Everythings is convenient.

Danielle

The resources, anything you need you can find help on campus. If you need extra help in school, a lawyer, your sick really anything you need.

Marissa

The best thing about the University of Central Florida is the Burnett Honors College of which I am a member. They provide a more intimate environment for the students with smaller class rosters and unique learning experiences through community involvement. The teachers are specialized in their subjects and really take an interest in helping their individual students succeed. Academic advisors within the Honors College work on a walk-in schedule so there is almost always someone to talk to about making critical choices without having to wait a month to get an appointment.

Tara

The best thing about my school is that it is a four year college but the class rooms are relatively small holding 40-120 students, so that means more one on one treatment and I believe a better learning experience. The teachers have hands on experience with different aspects of the hospitality field, and are able to bring their experience into the class room. The professors also make sure that they get guest speaker to come and talk to the class about the advantages and disadvantages about their job.

Christine

online courses

Yerandy

Social environment. Academically concentrated. Job oporunities. Experience oportunities

Stephanie

The best thing about UCF is that I feel like there is always somewhere I can go if I need help with anything. I had problems with my financial aid and I was able to find someone who not only helped explain what I was misunderstanding but helped point me in the direction for more scholarships. There are also plenty of clubs which help academically and socially. The UCF community encompasses new students so that they feel like they are included in a family.

Shamira

The best thing about my school is its a place full of opportunity. Wether it be with the academics, athletics, greek life, or even the vast amount of places to eat, UCF provides many options for students to make decisions for themselves and to disciver who they are and what they like through all of the opportunities provided.

Zlatko

The community

Chelsea

The diveristy on this campus is incredible. I enjoy attending University with people from all walks of life.

Joshua

The best thing about the University of Central Florida is the diversity among the students due to the size of the school. With over 50,000 students, I am able to interact with and learn about people and cultures from all over the world. This diversity creates a broader learning environment which allows students to expand their horizons to further better their education.

Lydia

As i mention previously I do not live near the campus. I take online classes offered by the school. I enjoy the classes very much. The professors interact with the students as if we were in the class with them. The students interact with each and form relationships with each other as well. The program is well structured for the students to obtain the maxium amount of knowledge. I beleive that online classes teaches you to be responsible and dedicated to the program.

Jenniffer

The best thing about UCF is that it has so many sources to help you to obtain your goals. They have the help and the proper organizations to guide you through the process and a variety of options for all different tastes, don?t matter what are your interesting on, you would find UCF as part of your home.

Jermaine

I honestly think the fact that UCF accepts 40 to 60 percent of applicants! This is awesome because it gives lots of prospective freshmans a greater chance to get into college. It also motivates them to apply to UCF and we all know that college is the best move you could make towards your future.

Sarah

activites on and off campus such as sports, clubs, and shows. Also a huge network of people to work with from all areas around the world.

Anna

The best thing about UCF is its that it is constantly improving. The administration is making decisions to better the school in all aspects. UCF has gone from being one of the worst schools in Florida to one of the best because of all of the hard work and investment being made into the school. It is important for a school to always be changing for the best because over time, everything changes, and if a school is not flexible, it will not provide the education needed for changing times.

Stephanie

The best thing about UCF is the campus life. There is always something to do and when you feel like you don't fit in anywhere, you end up finding a place and a group of people you can relate to. It's hard to feel lonely on this campus because there's just so much to do and so many friendly people around. After about a week of being in college, you don't feel so lonely anymore and you actually end up having fun.

Catherine

UCF has a lot to offer to students, the adminstration and people that work at the school are always willing to help and give a lot of support to us students. They have so many activities for students to attend from tutoring programs to fun events. These things gives the school a more positive atmosphere and enables questions to be answered so much easier, theres always someone to help.

Sean

I am not sure what to expect of the school since this will be my first year attending. One thing that I do find interesting is the 2 + 2 Program that they offer with Brevard Community College. Any one who graduates BCC with there AA or AS will be automatically be able to transfer to UCF.

Isabel

The best thing about UCF is the dorms. Bathrooms are shared by at most five people, which is much nicer than a whole floor. There are also plenty of apartment-style dorms with kitchens. I also love the overall beauty of the campus.

Danielle

The best thing about my school is that they offer so many degree programs. A person has so many choices of a major when they decide to attend the University of Central Florida.

Carla

The best thing about UCF is that the school caters not only to students who can go to school full time, but also to people who have to schedule classes around their jobs and families.

Kasi

I like the newness of the school, and that I have watched it grow before my eyes since I was a freshman.

Victoria

I like the fact that I'm not stuck going to just one campus. They have over six other campuses that I can attend, as well as online courses to get the most out of my college experience.

Melissa

The convenience.

Jimmy

What I like so far about UCF is there are a good mix of people on campus. I love metting people from diffrent cultures all over the world. I also love the size of the campus.

Caimbrin

The jobs that are offered to students who attened this college!

Stephanie

I started at Valenica Community College this year-- I enjoied the location and the small classes. I'm now at University of Central Florida-- I enjoy the atmosphere and they are helpful in most aspects.

Danielle

The best thing about my school would be the resources. Whatever you need you can find assistance.

Erin

The best thing about my school would have to be the school spirit. It is very enthusiastic when it comes to school spirit. The tailgating is held on campus every home game. They allow you to have all the fun you want , but also make sure you're safe and not doing anything illegal. There are a lot of advantages to being a student during football season. With your student I.D. you get free tshirts and accesss to free activities such as concerts and comedy shows. Also during winter they have an outdoor ice skating rink.. In FLORIDA.

Angela

The best thing about my school is the academic environment. There are a lot of different tutoring and research resources; and even though the teachers may not always be there to answer questions you can always find someone to help you. There is also a variety of different majors and minors so if you don't know what you are interested in yet, you will have the oppertunity to dabble in almost everything until you find your perfect match.

Kayla

I believe that one of the best things about the University of Central Florida is that all of the people who attend and work here are so diverse and helpful. There is always someone new to meet and learn from. I love the campus activities, but I also love that when exam time comes around, the campus has "quiet week" and the library is open extra hours. UCF really cares about the students' success in school and also about the college experience. The environment at UCF is always upbeat, hardworking, and exciting.

Natalie

For me, the best thing about my school is the location. I grew up in Winter Park, Florida, which is 10 minutes away from The University of Central Florida. I first attended Valencia, which is also close to home, where I received my Associate's Degree. I am an only child and both my parents live in town as well as my 81-year-old grandparents. It is extremely important for me to be close by to my family, and I am so fortunate to be able to attend UCF and have it be so close to home.

Jessica

The best thing about UCf is its location. Its really easy to have a life outside of the college because the college is on the outskirts of a huge city, Orlando. Its cental location in Florida also makes it a great school for commuters from all across central Florida.

Jessica

The best thing about my school is its pride in having integrity and academic excellence because if those two aspects are not pushed then most of the students would not work as hard as they do today

Steven

The people. From Professors to Advisors, they are there to help and are willing to go above and beyond to help us prospectice students to not only pass and graduate but to reach our goals and become something. It's a positive environment with resources to do anything.

Darrian

The best thing is that people in the education department are getting jobs, which boosts my confidence to work hard so that it will pay off.

ALLISON

The best thing about my school is, that there are alot of things to get involved in outside of the classroom. Not only that, the teachers/staff really care about your future, especially in my field. They make you are connected, or at least allow you time to be able network with professionals in your related field or industry.

Paul

The best thing about the University of Central Florida is the ability to complete a program of study at a regional/satellite campus. I would otherwise drive over 50 miles one way during rush hour traffic. The faculty literally comes to me at the regional campus near me. The faculty are available with regional campus office hours and online. I get the same high quality education without the stress of driving and the loss of time that includes.
