Ryan

It's a pretty big campus, but it has a lot of programs you can go into. They are starting a nursing program.

Ashley

The major I am taking now is offering me the same quality education I can get at an overpriced art school, for a much better price, and with amazing, knowledged, and outgoing teachers to boot.

Rebekah

I love the teachers and the regional campus personnel. The teachers that I have taken so far care about the students and want them to succeed. They are respectful to the students and go out of their way to be available for them. The regional campus personnel is the same way. I can only assume that it is because the campus is smaller and they are better able to offer one on one assistance. The teachers and staff are very passionate about their work and about the school. This is one of the reasons the school is such a success.

Being located in Orlando, but far enough from the city center and tourist traps allows for all the conviences of the theme parks and city life without having to live in the midst of it. Also, Orlando's central location within the state of Florida allows for easy day and weekend trips to almost every corner of the state. It is relatively easy to visit everywhere from Miami to Tallahassee!

I love how my school has so many regional campuses. I would have never been able to attend my college and still live with my family had it not been for the closeness of the regional campus. I love the diversity of age groups and how the focus is mostly on academic achievement. My biggest fear attending college was the amount of partying that would be done by my peers. Being a non-drinker, too much of a social scene would have been to my disadvantage. I'm overjoyed with my experience at UCF and would recommend it to anyone!

UCF is a gorgeous, peaceful campus with a modern design. There are ample opportunities for students to receive a quality education and the appropriate experience needed for a career in their specified fields. UCF is very much involved in the Orlando community, whether it's helping the community's needy or setting up partnerships with companies for students to intern with. Because the university is so large, there is also a varied student population and a huge number of student organizations for interested students to get involved in.

Their willingness to facilitate the needs of the students goes beyond comparision. The teachers take time out of their busy schedule to spend time with the students and follow up on concerns. The staff also answers e-mails in a expdient manner and makes cetain you are directed in the right path towards your goals.

UCF is one of the top universities in the country with an amazing physical therapy program that is very challenging. I will be so proud to say that I made it into that program, which keeps me motivated to study and work my absolute hardest. When the day finally comes that I can say I am a UCF graduate, it will be such an honor because it is a well known fact that it takes an incredible amount of effort and discipline to complete the program in that school. Graduating from UCF will definitely merit some bragging.

Kiarra

UCF is always giving away free stuff. They always have coupons and special discounts to help us financially strapped college students. They also award probably the most scholarship money to undergraduate students. UCF is in Central Florida, which means it is in the mist of all of the great and popular theme parks, and the drive from here to Jacksonville (my hometown) isn't that bad either. UCF is just a fun school, enough said.

I don't have to tell my friends much because they can see the excitement of being part of UCF on my face! The campus is gorgeous, the people are amazing and so diverse, and I know that this university is going to change my life for the better.

Tyler

I tend to brag about how relatively new the school is compared to other unversities it is moving up the list fast as one of the top schools in the country.

Jennifer

The fact that it is a small community school that does not have the same pressure as an ivey league school. The teachers help you one on one if needed and there are students willing to help others if they need it. The atmosphere is warm, and comfortable; it makes you feel like you never left home, even if you live on the campus or in a far away town. I am proud to say that i am going to a junior college first, before i move on to a bigger college; happy that the credits will transfer to them.

Nina

The Size and number of students, cost of tuition, food and books are high, as well as the many events. How challenging the classes can be, as well as my feelings towards both the professors and their teaching styles.

Mindy

I would have to say that I brag the most about the reliable professors answering out -of -the classroom questions. I have never had a problem so far about a professor not responding back to my questions. I also find the extra free service provided for tutoring as something else I brag about. With so many tutoring services, I find passing my classes easier and understanding the material in my classes better.

Peter

I brag mostly about how far along I am in my degree program, while most of them are still at the community college attaining their associates. I brag about how I can go to both of the campuses, the Brevard Cocoa campus and the main campus in Orlando. I tell them how awsome the Orlando campus is and how great of an experience it's been and will be in the future. I brag to my friends about getting into sporting events and being able to go watch my football and basketball Knights whoop up on other universities.
