It's HUGE! The location is ideal to have a variety of opportunities and is very culturally diverse. For my specific program we had a clinic onsite where I was able to observe and also one of our classes was an internship where I was able to gain hands- on experience.

What I think is unique is how accomadating this school is. Going to a big school and being introduced into classes of 200+ is a big scare, especially since that means help from the teacher is near impossible since so many visit his or her office hours. There are several opportunities for free tutoring provided by the campus which enables you to get the help you need to succeed in the class.

It's big and bold and it's everything you make of it. The opportunites and the training you need is here it's just whether or not you apply yourself.

All opportunity is here is you make effort to grab it.

It's very laid back with little intrusiveness.

I only toured, in person, the school I currently attend: the University of Central Florida. Though I did not tour them, I noticed the other schools I considered, such as the University of South Florida, Florida State University and Monmouth University in New Jersey, did not have such a diverse student population in so many aspects. I viewed the demographics of all my schooling possiblities and found that UCF was made up of so many cultures and nationalities (plus students from all 50 United States!) and many students with disabilities. UCF is unique simply because its students are, too!

There are many unique aspects at my school are the many activities that they provide for anyone who is new to the school. For instance, they hold transfer seminars so that students who transfer in can have a successful semester as well as guiding freshman through orientation activities. Also, we have LateKnights which gives everyone an opportunity to meet people and make friends with others. Overall, I am glad that I transferred to UCF because it is one of the best schools in the state.

UCF is unlike most colleges because of the shear size of the university with 55, 000 attending each year. Our diversity is unmatched because you can meet so many different people from all backgrounds of life. Also, the education is immaculate. I am receiving quality education in the Health Admistration field because of the professors who are encouraging and willing to help.

I considered two other schools and decided against them for three different reasons. The first reason is cost. Tuition prices at UCF, for Florida residents, is reasonable compared to other schools. The second reason is the variety of degree programs available. I need a specific and unusual major/minor combination, and UCF is able to accomodate me. The third reason is location. UCF is in the bulls eye of Florida, a location conducive to service-learning projects, research, work-study and internship opportunities. The area also features the Gulf and Atlantic beaches, shopping, entertainment, and restaurants.
