What's unique about your campus?

Stephanie

I love that there are so many different students. We have people from all over the country, all over the world in classes with us. We learn about the topics, but also about different ethnicities and cultures. They're good teachers and give us good practice for the real world.

The best thing about the University of Central Florida is its diversity. The student body consists of people of many races and backgrounds and the collection of all these different cultural ideas makes the college experience that much more enlightening. Such a broad group of students provides for a larger platform of knowledge and growth. The significant amount of clubs created by the students also give merit to the institution's vast pool of intellect and community involvement.

Diversity and acceptance are emphasized a great deal at my university, as they should be. This focus has greatly enriched my education and experiences. Instead of shying away from different views and experiences, I have been able to fully engross myself in them and discuss different views with others. The professors rarely censor students, and because of this openness, students become more tolerant of others beliefs and lifestyles. The diversity of my campus, and the school's focus on educating the population of this diversity, has been one of the greatest contributors to my education at this university.

The best thing about VCC is the availibility of the courses. As I am in the process of transferring to UCF in the Spring, I have been unable to find available courses in my program area and this is a substantial dilemma, one that I did not encounter at VCC. At VCC there was an abundance of courses from which to choose, which dates and times coinciding with my schedule. The courses at UCF seem to be scheduled in a way that would only coincide with a full-time, non-working student.

Lili

I love how this is the third largest campus in the US. It means we have a ton of resources! Yet, the school FEELS intimate.

Nate

There are lots of best things..... One of the best things is location, location. As a Florida native and graduate of a Florida public high school, UCF offers wonderful educational opportunities and there are people there from my home town and home school.

Yeselie

The best thing about my school has to be the school spirit. I know colleges have tons of school spirit and being in the same state of National Championship winners, it is not hard to be compared. Orlando is by far not a college town and still maintains a unity with being the third largest school in the nation.

Sahara

The best thing about my school is the people and the community. Most professors are very supportive and willing to help if you reach out to them. Other students are friendly and always willing to lend a hand and answer questions you may have about any classes.

David

University of Central Florida is the 3rd largest school in the nation. Why shouldn't it be the best? The diversity and atmosphere I get when I walk around the school is so relaxing and just feels right. I've wanted to go to this school ever since I graduated highschool back in 05' but still I couldn't afford it. I saved money by attending community colleges. I wish I could have gotten in earlier but it just wasn't in the cards. I am very happy that I'm here now though! I look forward to the future.

Angelica

The University of Central Florida provides many opportunities to become involved in research with proffesors. Also, this school provides a lot of help for those students that are interested in graduate school.

Krystal

The location is one of the best things about UCF. The location attracts a variety of different activities, people, and opportunities.

Jessica

UCF's best attribute is that they are a very large campus. Some may view this as a negative aspect and have a fear of "getting lost in the crowd". However, I see it as a opportunity to experience diversity, not only with students, but also in the organizations, courses, extracurricular activities, and the community.

Raven

The best thing about the University of Central Florida is that they give you every opportunity to succeed while furthering your education, so that you can in turn make a difference in the world, in a career that you love and enjoy. UCF provides outlets for students to seek help when they feel they are over-loaded with school work, offering tutoring sessions as well as on campus activities to relieve stress.

Carter

The best thing about the University of Central Florida is the amount of space we have available for our use. Whether I want to go to the gym to work out, go to the library and study, or go to the reflection pond to relax, I always have somewhere to go. At our fingertips we have all of the technology and resources we need in order to pursue the wealth of knowledge in the world. We have the tools to pursue excellence, and represent our school well in any career path we choose.

Jennifer

The option to take courses online. Flexibility.

Ramona

What I liked about the University of Central Florida is that it has a lot of shops and restaurants so students don?t have to leave campus. I am a very active and athletic person. I love that the university has a great gym and a lot of out door activities. UCF has a lot of clubs students can participate in. UCF is located in the middle of a growing prosperous city. It provides potential employment opportunities for those who seek it

Pierre

The environment is relaxed. The professors are great. No additional stress besides that of any normal college student.

Michelle

The best thing about my school is the people and organizations in it. There are many ways to get involved and know people. I have met so many great people because of being involved in the things that I love, such as volleyball, LEAD scholars, volunteering with children, and sports. Meeting these people have literally changed my life and I am greatful for the community at UCF.

Astrid

There is a lot of diversity at UCF, and there is a very active student government association as well as a campus activities board who constantly come up with things for students to do, on and off campus.

Soliz

The best thing about my school is that there are less students at my campus. This makes it so you don't feel like you're lost in a sea of thousands. You have a closer relationship with your professors which I find makes things easier. Also, you don't have to fight nearly as hard to find a parking space.

The job opportunities it offers. The internship programs

Timothy

I believe the best thing about the University of Central Florida would be the opening of their brand new medical school, with the first graduating class to be the class of 2009 and the first 40 students who get in the program get a full ride for the whole 4 years. Since the opening of this new program, it can also create opportunities in the medical field after graduating, to become successful in any medical profession a person chooses.

Jessica

Night life.

Matthew

Spring 2010 will be the frist semester at the University of Central Florida, so I haven't had much experience as far as the best thing about the school. What I can say from attending orientation and other visits to the school is that it seems very open and unique when it comes to the campus itself. Probably my favorite thing about the campus so far to date is the vast variety of people on campus. With UCF being the third largest school in the nation their are plenty of chances to meet new people.

Eliora

I consider the campus environment to be the best aspect of UCF. Not only is it a beautiful campus, but it really calls for students to get involved in clubs and activities, from just going out and playing Ultimate Frisbee on Memory Mall to signing up to volunteer at Late Knights in the Student Union, everyone feels like they are a part of the campus community.

Daniel

UCF is joking called "Under Construction Forever" but to me, that actually means more opportunities as the campus is continually expanding along with the courses and student body. With the large student body, there are continual chances to meet new people with similar interests and create a large network of friends and acquaintances.

Steven

The best thing about the University of Central are the standards they have. As an Art - Animation student I have to pass a porfolio review. The portfolio review is for me to show the University of Central Florida that I can meet their standards when it comes to drawing and other art forms. I have been able to improve my art because of their standards and now I have a better chance of competing for work in the real world. Also my work-ethic has improved because of the amount of time and effort the classes demanded.

Joan

The best attribute about UCF is their balance between nature and science. They allowed for the most technology in buildings and all around campus but have many areas where you would have areas that looks nothing like the 21st century.

Evy

The best things about UCF are that it is so culturally diverse and there are endless opportunities to become involved and learn about all of this diversity. Education is so important and the various clubs, volunteer opportunities, and extracurricular activities available at UCF give the students a chance to expand on that education outside of the classroom. All of these factors have given me a very well rounded education.

Octavia

It location is indeed the best thing. The main campus is centrally located in Florida and in close proximity to the major attractions. It's also not too far if I decided that I wanted to go home to the Palm Beaches on the weekend being that it's only three hours away.

Stephanie

I really love the atmosphere and the landscaping; the university here has a really pretty campus and well taken care of. Its a huge campus with limited roads passing directly through it. This allows it to be more of a walking campus, so it should be appealing to the eyes.

LaGarass

The academic help.

Lori

I think that the small classes in my program was the best thing about my school. It gives each student the time and attention they need but they get all the benefits of a large University as well.

Colette

It is big and it has so many things that are easily accessible.

Brett

I believe that UCF is full of unlimited possibilities for the student looking for extracurricular activities. There are many clubs on campus, including the typical American sport clubs such as football, baseball, and soccer, as well as the more metropolitan sports such as rugby, tae kwon do, and kendo. If a student is willing to try something new, the clubs at UCF will give him an unforgettable college experience.

Janet

I believe that the best thing about my school is how diverse it is and I do not mean that uniquely in racial way. This school is very diverse when it concerns the interest of students, as well as the financial backgrounds. When you are a student at the University of Central Florida you are exposed to the entire world in our community. As students we are able to open our eyes to learn and accept every kind of people through one on one experiences.

The best thing about my school is they offer classes at satellite schools and this is very convenient! UCF is the best!

SANDRA

It very diverse and student oriented. Tries to meet al needs for all students!!

Mariah

The willingness of the professors to help the students

Brittany

The school spirit is the best thing because people really love they're school.
