College Overview: UCF - University of Central Florida

UCF - University of Central Florida: GOOD
Because its GREEEAAT

UCF - University of Central Florida: A+ to UCF
Apply early, that way you can keep your options open. Then visit the school, it's the best way to get a feel for it and know if it is the right place for you...it should feel like "home" right away. That is the very reason I chose UCF. Immediately upon arriving, I felt a welcoming environment; it is a place where I could see myself living, learning, and connecting with all kinds of new people. If you are uncomfortable with the large campus and amount of people, though, UCF may not be the...

UCF - University of Central Florida: Rockin My Socks...
The one thing I will start by saying about the University of Central Florida: if you don't like the weather, don't worry because it'll change twice by the end of the day. My dorm has a full size bed, a dishwasher, and a garbage disposal. My Major and Minor attract students from all over the country. My Department (which contains my major and minor) has grown and expanded and it's not alone: UCF is the 2nd largest school in the State and is about to take the lead...wanna be a part...

UCF - University of Central Florida: It's Alright...
Ok, just because all your friends are going to a College, doesn't mean you should follow them to somewhere you don't want to go. It's cheap here if your an in-state kid, about $3,200 a year for tuition, $16,000 if you are out of state. That being said, UCF (University of Central Florida) is huge. Tons and tons of people. Seriously. You take for granted things like: a parking space, instant checkout at the bookstore and a seat in a classroom, etc. We have 40,000 something kids here, a...

UCF - University of Central Florida: Why You Should (or shouldn't) Choose UCF...
I chose UCF because it was close to home and I wouldn't have to get a dorm or affiliated housing. The main campus is in Orlando, Florida, with branch campuses downtown and in several surrounding counties. Many times I've taken classes that were closer to my house, so it's a bonus for me. Also, it's close to both Daytona and Cocoa Beach, and the winters are mild enough that you could go surfing year round.

UCF - University of Central Florida: PARKING
Get a motorcycle.. yes they are dangerous, but that will be the only way you will find a place to park. UCF doesnt care about your life, or the fact that if you drive a car to campus and cant find parking that you will miss class and waste your money going here!

UCF - University of Central Florida: Not my first choice...
UCF was actually not my first choice. I actually transferred back here because I did not like having large loans anymore and I just wanted to finish college. For new students to UCF or thinking UCF, the school is not all fun and games. While there is always something to do or somewhere to go, classes are not all free passes to nothing. Teachers here take there jobs serious and will fail you without hesitation if you slack off.

UCF - University of Central Florida: UCF 101
As a high school student make sure to get a full view of the University. If at all possible visit more days than just the UCF Open House. Or if that's not possible just do some exploring on your own while at the school. Walk around campus and try to observe students. If possible listen to their conversations. I fell in love with UCF based on the Open House that I attended and don't know if I would have if I had just come and explored on my own. If you're very into sports an...

UCF - University of Central Florida: UCF: Just Your Average College
I chose this school for its proximity to my home. I didn't really consider going anywhere else, it just seemed to be the obvious choice. This school is very large and broad, it's just, you know, a university. There's room for everyone. Really. I would recommend this school to absolutely everyone looking for a good school in the South, especially in Florida. Well, actually, if you like smaller classes, this is a huge place and there's a lot of lecture halls with approximatel...

UCF - University of Central Florida: UCF in general
The biggest piece of advice I could say to someone considering UCF is that if they aren't into large amounts of people, they need to get used to it. UCF, unlike many smaller universities, UCF is located in a large city; not a small college town where you can forego the car and bike it or walk everywhere. Also, UCF is a very large campus with a large student body to match. It's easy to get lost and feel alone at first, but I seem to find that if you involve yourself in school functions a...

UCF - University of Central Florida: Great Location
The main reason I chose UCF is its great location. Its really close to the beach and its in a big city. There is always something going on no matter what your interested in. I liked how is was diverse.

UCF - University of Central Florida: University of Central Florida
I chose UCF because it's a big school with a small feel. The campus is small compared to other colleges with the same student body size but all the fun is in Orlando. There's always something going on somewhere. If you like keeping school and fun seperate, this is the place for you.
