University of Central Florida Top Questions

not sure

A person with no integrity, as integrity should the backbone, the foundation of all endevor. A person without the desire to rigorously pursue scholarship. While higher learning is very desirable, there is something to be said for the pursuit of scholarship for its sake. One who has no sense of community. All will benefit from community effort. As the saying goes, "each one teach one." Also, one who eschews creativity, preferring to embrace only sterile , empirical knowledge or facts. A person who attends this school without the drive to strive for excellence is a thorough waste of time and space.

A student who prefers small class sizes and more intimate educational settings wouldn?t be the right fit at the University of Central Florida. With over 53,000 students at UCF it can be overwhelming at times and if you?re the type of person who dislikes crowds and large class sizes than this may not be the school for you.

Someone who does not enjoy being part of a big crowd or a large class would find this school very frustrating.

If someone does not want a very large school, the University of Central Florida is not for them. The campus is huge and most classes are quite large.

I've found that a large part of success at this university is getting involved, so possibly someone extremely shy or who may not engage with others well.

I think that all kinds of people could attend UCF because it is such an universal school and has something for everyone.

The person who shouldn't attend this school is the student that needs alot of personal time with the professor. The classes at UCF can have as many as 500 students, so it is difficult to establish a relationship with your professor.

If you want a strong tradition you shouldn't attend this school.

Someone who won't use the resources available to help shape their life.

A person that wants to succeed in life and wants to also have fun with life.

Any truely independent thinker.

If they can't handle academic pressure, and school work load. Also if they can't adapt to their enviroment easily, since University of Central Florida has such a great ethnic diversity. On top of that those who are not self motivated and lack dicipline, because we strive for excellence in our school.

Anyone who does not want to have a great time while learning should not attend this school. University of Central Florida was an extrememly diverse school with a ton of school spirit.

Someone that doesn't want to graduate.

If your not used to the big city life but you still enjoy goin outdoors and being social while having a solid work-load this is definately the school for you. UCF offers a lot of supplementary instruction for hard classes and tutoring in any subject you may need it. We also offer monthly activities to for free that can give students an opportunity to create a social life while keeping money in their pockets.

Anyone wanting a good education.

Someone who is interested in receiving a well-rounded education while still focusing on a speciality/major/concentration.

The only type of person that should not attend this school would be someone not wanting to learn or forward their educational experience.

Someone who isn't in an egineering field.

A student that is just going to slack off and not attend class. Most people go into college thinking that you can just skip all your classes and they think they can still pass. Not at UCF. If you are the type of student that thinks they can just party all day every day, then you might want to rethink another school.

Someone who doesn't like big schools and isn't open minded.

Someone who does not like "city-life". The campus is a big campus so it may be hard to meet people, need to be an outgoing individual. If an individual is into sports team, our school does not have a very successful sports program so it may be hard for them to enjoy themselves.

There isnt anyone who shouldnt attend this school. There seems to be something here for everyone. I love it here. I transfered after my Freshman year to UCF. The only people who I guess wouldnt want to come here are those who should go to specific schools for what they want to do.

A person that is not serious about their future. UCF is a challenging school and very easy to flunk out of if you are not a serious hard working student.

People who are so opinionated they get annoyed with people with different opinions. It isn't good for people who are not open to cultural diversity.

Any one can find a home at this school

A person who doesn't take school seriously. Who only wants to have only a social life. but other than that I recommend anyone to come to this school.

someone looking for a small school atmosphere.

Somebody who likes a smaller school and a much more personal and nurturing environment.

Any type. It's a very diverse campus sexually, ethnically, and religiously. Anyone can and will fit in.

people who don't want to learn a lot and have a lot of fun, who don't want to be in large classes ever, who don't want to interect with their professors, who don't want a great college experience or who are uncomfortable with socio-economic and cultural diversity

People who are not self-motivated should not attend this school, or college in general. While professors provide you with notes and lectures it is your responsibility to read the textbook chapters, go to class and study your notes. You don't have to be an over-acheiver, but you must certainly provide a consistent amount of diligence in order to do well.

People that pretend to be know-it-alls.

There is no such thing as perfect, although I truly believe that the University of Central Florida does come close. It is a school full of life that is growing rapidly, not only in its achievments but also in size; having had its first football stadium built last year and a second marketplace this summer. At UCF you better believe that there will be changes as our generation continues to move forward. If you aren't comfortable with growth and a school that's making history as we speak then you will not be comfortable at UCF.

One who does not know what he/she wants.

poor

Someone who is extremely inclusive and not open to meeting people who look and think different then they do.

Anyone who doesn't like large campuses and schools, and really, anyone who needs a job but doesn't have a car. Scholarships for your major (or at least, for mine) aren't available until your junior year either, so for people who fall where you're too high to be classified as "need based" for aid, but you really do need financial aid, if they are hoping to get scholarships through their scholarships, they might not be able to. There aren't many when you finally can apply for me either.

those who learn best in small classrooms, and branch out better in small communities.

I think most people will be fine in this school. Social life is hard if you do not like to drink or party though.

people who are very reserved and dont want toget involved because they would feel lost in the crowd since it is such a big school

Someone who does not want to jump through hoops or get the run around from faculty advisors. Someone who whats a small class, most classes here are fifty or more people. Someone who does not want to wait in lines or be lost in the crowd.

A driven person who liked teh opportunity to be involved and still have time to be focused on their education. There are so many opportunities for while you are here and for when you leave and the student that goes to UCF should be the type of person who will be active and take advantage of all that the school has to offer.

One who wants to e very challenged or wants a very strict school with a demanding schedule. Or someone who doesnt like the heat.

This is such a diverse campus that I think that everyone who wants to attend will fit in. Maybe the only type of person that shouldn't attend is one that isn't interested in college life.

If someone is looking to just party constantly without putting forth much of an effort academically, they probably should not waste their time coming here as they will not still be enrolled after a year with that mentality.

college is what you make of it. at this school, theres a place for everyone; its all about who you know.

Slackers and partiers shouldn't attend this school. There is a great deal of work and studying that must be done to maintain an acceptable GPA. Also, most students prefer to get involved in the many on-campus activities and going to fun places in Orlando, rather than going to wild parties. Students who want to see a great football team shouldn't attend UCF either.

Only someone who doesn't wish to attend school should not attend UCF. I see it as an ideal school, one that anyone can enjoy and learn from.
