University of Central Florida Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Sarah

I love all the help provided for us with our classes. For example, there are tutors for different classes who can help us for free and take the time to explain things we might not understand. Also at the SGA office, we can get free scantrons, and there is a printing lab where we get 20 pages everyday for free. As a student who is strugling to pay for college, I really appreciate all this help! I love all these programs where I can get help without having to go over my budget!

My favorite part about UCF would have to be one: the beautiful campus. Everything at UCF is decently new, and it is easy to navigate around the campus. I also love the fact that UCF is in Orlando, giving students many more options of outside activities as compared to a college that is in a "college town." The last thing I love about UCF is the Rosen College of Hospitality. It is an amazing school with a separate campus. It is just as beautiful as the main campus, and has an amazing program.

The choice of classes. there are several interesting courses to pursue.

Caroline

Natalie

The best thing about the University of Central Florida is it's diversity. The school social networking doesn't revolve around greek life at all, however the greek community is prominant and developed. Everyone has a place here, and everyone will find their nitch easily.

Shelby

One of the best things is that there is an open door policy for all the teachers so it is very easy to get your questions anwsered outside of the classroom. They also offer small sessions about a certain subject taught by a UCF student who already took the class! Its a great way to clear up those little problems you might have with a subject.

Ann

Find something you love to do and try to make a career out of it.

Christopher

The fact that UCF is already considered one of the largest schools in the country and the fact that every semester it seems as if they keep on adding to the campus. Whether it is a new building, an expansion to an existing one, or updating a building, UCF always tries to better itself as a school. That is what I value the most in UCF it is very prestigious not only in expanding itself but expanding it's students. UCF offers every resource and opportunity for a student to research and explore curent interest and new ideas.

Marissa

The best thing about my school was the school spirit! It truly seemed like everyone took pride in attending UCF

The variety of programs to choose from. It's also nice to have a place to go to that will help you decide where it is that you want to go academically.

bianca

The best thing about my schol is that they give you the opportunity to excel. UCF focuses on making sure the students do well by providing a great support system, as well as different services to aid the students,

Farah

UCF is a great community to be a part of. As for myself, I was most impressed with the services available with the Student Academic Resource Center. There, students have the opportunity to get one on one attention and ask for help with anything they're having dufficulties with. Furthermore, I am part of the Pegasus Success Program, and SARC works very close with my peers and I to ensure our success. and further improvement for the following years.

Everett

The diversity of students, faculty and courses.

Jonathan

I find the diversity of the 50,000 plus students to be the best attribute of my school. Being that there is so many students from all over the country, even the world, I had the opportunity to meet all different kinds of people. I believe that I benefited in so many ways by meeting and building relationships with such a diverse group of people. Other than learning of different cultures, religions, backgrounds, and upbringings I have grown so much socially. UCF creates an environment where you are surrounded by diversity and have the ability to thrive from it.

Lynette

I would have to say the strong loyalty we have to our teams. Go Knights!

Kaleigh

The best thing about The University of Central Florida is that it offers a 85,000-square-foot Recreation and Wellness Center complete with a three-story climbing wall, an indoor track and fitness equipment. The staff is very helpful and encourages students to lead a healthy lifestyle. Having a fitness center on campus gives me the opportunity to stay healthy, meet other students and relieve the stress from carrying a full class load.

Luis

UCF's greatest aspect is the Diversity. Diversity can bring many ideas and cultures to come together and create an amazing history.

Emily

The best thing about my school is the fact that the College of Engineering and Computer Science (the college of my major) has made such a name for itself. It actually boasts one of the best engineering graduate programs in the nation. Moreover, we are surrounded by numerous potential employers for graduating engineers here in Central Florida, such as Lockheed Martin, Siemens, Disney, etc.

Marvin

One of the most unique aspects of the University of Central Florida is its location. In addition to its great academic programs, UCF is located in one of the most active city in Florida. Great food, distinguished sites, vast culture and entertainment are some of the amazing attributes that living in the Orlando area provides it residents on a day to day bases. Similarly Orlando is home to the Orlando Magic?s and also to one of the most delightful places on earth, Disney World.

Sally

I find that University of Central Florida have many different sources where students can get financial aid if they are really in need of it. I know a friend of mine who didn't have housing the first two days of school and he resorted to camping out by some bushes. The campus security directed him to the UCF victim services who in turn talked to the financial aid office and helped him get a dorm to live in. I feel safe that I can rely on the services of UCF If I ever need financial help after seeing that.

Robertson

The best thing about the University of Central Florida is that the school and faculty care about the students and the individual programs of the school all focus on high-tech industries of which the school is centered around.

Amanda

It's excellent engineering program.

Nicolas

The best thing about my school is the fact that I receive a quality education that will transfer to a 4-year school, and it costs me a fraction of the price of the 4-year school.

Racheile

UCF is a very diverse campus! There are so many people who are involved in scientific research and such a variety of people available to help me. UCF?s biggest asset is how many determined people there are ! I love being at a campus where I can find fellow Molecular Biology and Microbiology majors who are willing to help and guide me in a good direction. I have been offered to join many activities, such as medical outreaches and medical fraternities, the people here make UCF the best school.

Nicholas

While large classes have drawbacks, it also means you (usually) get a very good professor. Despite large class size, professors tend to be reachable and grade promptly.

Lindsy

The Honors college allows students to be actively involved in the campus and get to know students from various different majors.

Olivia

The best thing about my school is that after you get over the initial shock the school becomes very personal, and you find that although it is very big the feeling of the school becomes home.

Marisa

The academic support provided by the instructors and diverse resources like T.A. group studies labs etc. I think is very important students understand each subject taken because this we later be use for our personal careers.

Sonia

I would consider my campus the best thing about UCF. The campus is set up in an organized fashion, the lawn is always tidy, there are plenty of trees, and theres never any liter on the floor.

Stephanie

This is my first semester so I'm probably the best person to ask this question, considering that I'm taking full advantage of everything. I love the amount of opportunities they give you to stay healthy. They have so many classes at the gym to keep people exercising and active. The other great quality about my school is their social activities. UCF really tries to get their students involved with networking and clubs to help students better understand their major and become more professional. They open their students eyes for a taste of the real world.

Angel

U.C.F. is a huge school with many programs and majors offered. There's a variety of programs that students can get into in order to study for their careers. U.C.F. also has a lot of activities which promote student involvement and development, which will be useful for social skills and abilities in future jobs and careers.

Jennifer

I love how large and diverse UCF is. I am always meeting new people, it very difficult to get bored here.

Tyler

I consider the overall environment the best thing about UCF. There are so many ways to get involved, the campus is beautiful, classes are held in updated classrooms, and the overall atmosphere is not something a person wold feel on a traditional college campus.

Russell

UCF is a great school for many reasons, but the best thing about the school must be its committment to excellence not experienced in my prior collegiate career at a local community college. UCF is a college where all students are challenged and inspired to be life-long learners.

Brittany

As places of education, Universities are generally very well-equipped. They house libraries, thousands of dollars in computers, state of the art equipment, the most brilliant minds of today, and much more. While UCF does indeed house such things, I believe it has a little something extra. The Reflecting Pond may not be an actuall pond, but it provides a place for a student to relax, to sit out in the grass, under the trees, in the rush of the spray, and listen. A school that understands students' needs for peace, quiet, and inspiration--what more could a student want?

Ryan

A lot of things happen around the school. A lot of people want you to feel involved in something and not just some of the clubs. They have a lot of events happening.

Josue

The best thing about my school is the amount of clubs there are. This helps everyone stay involved on their free time. Even more than free time spent these clubs can be related to the major of someone's choice giving these students extra learning and motivation to keep working hard for the major of their choice. It also helps keep students off the streets and I can also gaing leadership experince in these clubs by moving up in the ladder of said club.

Jessica

I think the best thing about my school is the faculty and staff. They are always willing to help students in many different ways. We have a Career Center that will do practice interviews and look over your resumes to help you get a job. The professors are very helpful and always willing to help, especially during their office hours. Most professors are also very good at responding emails, so you dont have to wait for days for a response. There are many workshops done by SGA to help students adapt to the college life.

Alyssa

The best thing about UCF is probably the unlikely sense of community. There are many places, especially off campus, that students reside. But this does not effect the pride that each person feels when they recognize that they are a part of the UCF nation. There are so many opportunities for individual expression, but at the same time everyone comes together as one body and one voice supporting the school we love.

Tracy

UCF is a very active school. Not only is it in a large city, but there are plenty of on campus activities and clubs to get involved in.

Grant

The best thing about this school are the students who attend it. This school has one of the largest student populations in the nation. When someone is around so many different kinds of people they begin to understand other people cultures and beliefs. Not only is this school giving one an education but also showing them how to respect other people and learning to live with them.

Rachel

Location, it is not far from where i grew up and where my parents live. Its also in florida where it is sunny most of the time.
