University of Central Florida Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

emily

I don't brag about my school.

Daniel

Many of my friends decided to stay at a local university and I mostly brag that I live away from home. Aside from that, I brag that UCF is the third largest university in the country and that less than an hour away, I can drive to: downtown Orlando with clubs and music, multiple amusement parks, and Cocoa beach. UCF, unlike some other Florida universities, is not located in the middle of no where. It's located very close to the heart of a large city.

David

Our school is centrally located around a decent sized city, with amenities such as the beach and lakes within ample driving distance. Also, the weather in Central Florida is incredible year-round, and it never gets too cold.

How many different people are here and how many opportunities and activites there are.

Kimberly

I have found that my teachers and staff have been very helpful. The students here are very friendly and are great to have around in class and out of class.

I talk about its diversity, how big it is and how there is always something going on.

Courtney

I brag about the University of Central Florida's school spirit. Even as an alumni there is a sense of community that comes with being a Knight. Our athletic programs are growing but just looking at the students during game day you would think we were the #1 team because of the loyalty we all share for our school. The motto at the University of Central Florida is "once a Knight, always a Knight" and you really truly are.

I would brag about the proximity of the Regional UCF campus to meet my educational needs. I can complete my degree right in Ocala, whereas UF is over 45 minutes away. This is a big asset.

Eric

The professors are genuinely interested in each student. They want the students to learn and do well in class. The other students also greatly contribute to the learning atmosphere by challenging you intellectually. The school isn't only academically focused, as there are numerous activities to keep you busy.

Walter

I'm usually most apt to boast about how the University of Central Florida has an extraordinarily beautiful campus in probably the most scenic part of tropical Orlando. Not only is the plant life and landscaping bedazzling but the wonderful, sprawling cornucopia of shimmering fountains and brightly colored dorm complexes are nothing short of immaculate. Assuredly fine specimens of Mediterranean Revival architecture, their stucco walls and perfect asthetic harmony with the surrounding palm trees make any UCF student feel like they're living in a luxurious seaside villa or hotel rather than a simple school dorm.

Nicholas

Awesome location and the businesses all around.

Scott

That I go to the best school in the country, have great professiors that know what they are talking about, and the fact that I live 30 minutes away from major theme parks.

Everyone is so full of school spirit and it is an honor to be considered a Knight.

Julie

The challenging academic environment and the huge campus with plenty of resources.

Cory

When I tell my freinds and family about my school, I always tend to brag about UCF's undying underdog attitude. It really is us against everyone else in the state of Florida. In the minds of many of my fellow students and myself, we feel that as a university, we never recieve the respect and credit that is due unto us. So when we say we are Knights at the University of Central Florida, we say it with honor. We may not have the history and legacy of other Florida schools, but in greatness, we excell above them all!

Michael

It has the prettiest and one of the biggest campuses with the most amount of students currently attending. As of 2009 its ranked 3rd in the nation for most students enrolled. Our school mascot is the best, Were the knights, what more can you say about that, it beats being an alligator.

How nice and laid back everyone is. We tend to really get along. There are heated debates among each other regarding politics, religion, drugs etc. But all in all everyone is pretty cool

Susan

I always brag about my 3.96 GPA and the straight A's I try to eagerly to attain. Many of my friends have a high GPA because things come easily to them. I bust my hump for every grade I get, and somehow, that makes getting an A more than just a grade. It is an accomplishment. The extra effort is worth it, considering a was a straight C student in high school. My first A in college got me addicted to excellence.

The teaching staff here at University of Central Florida is exceptional. I have experienced frustrating teachers at other colleges, and find refreshment in the teaching personnel. The professors are always approachable and available outside of the classroom. Going to them for extra help or clearification on the more challenging concepts is welcomed. In the past I have found that some professors have a pompus attitude causing the learning to be strained, UCF is definitely an exception to this. The comfortable atmosphere generated by the proffesors not only offers a plethora of knoweldge, but also allows for an ease of understanding.
