UCF is the second largest University in the country, and yet, I still feel like a community that gets together to enjoy the same things; music, sports, shows, food, and school work.

Even though I am a Psychology major, I really want to be an animal trainer and I feel Orlando has a lot of opportunities for me here.

The University of Central Florida is the second largest populated college in the country. With over 56, 000 students, UCF remains connected with all their students. I have never seen a school with so much untity before. UCF provides everything you could think of. Spirit Splash, a school tradition where students are able to jump into our big reflection pond for homecoming, was one of the most amazing things I experienced. Everyday something is happening at school that makes me so honored and proud to call myself a UCF Knight.

UCF has the best enviroment to thrive off of. It is a melting pot that people can all find others they can relate to and come to understand and appreciate.

UCF has a teach me virtual reality lab. Students who are education majors can practice classroom management techniques with avatars and get real life reactions as other students portray the avatars. UCF also has great job opportunities with most of their graduates getting jobs in the same or neighboring counties.

The professors high-calibur of expectations from students pushes you to do your best. You learn, create, study and produce more than you ever think was possible.

It is located near downtown Orlando. 1415 acre main campus provides modern facilities for the students. It is also constructed very skillfully with student commute in mind. UCF is nation's second-largest university with more than 56000 students enrolled here.

The University of Central Florida possesses a myriad of cultures, ethnicities, and various other subcultures encompassed on campus. I love UCF because UCF is not diverse, diversity is UCF! It is rare that someone feels alone while on campus. The traffic of students contains thousands of different colored faces, wardrobes, gaits, and methods of transportation (wheelchairs, skateboarders, inline skaters, etc.). The University of Central Florida also provides a plethora of opportunities to encourage and maintain variety on campus. Rather than other schools, where diversity is limited or, alot of the times, non-existent.

When considering a college to attend, I decided on the University of Central Florida for many reasons. This school is very diverse and offers almost many majors. I am a Mechanical Engineering major and believed this was the best school for this because their engineering program is reputable and offers assistance. Other institutions offer engineering as an afterthought and rarely specialize. Even though it is relatively new, UCF emphasizes the concept of growth. They focus on becoming a larger and more recognized school than they are already. Other schools I have considered do not.
