University of Central Florida Top Questions

The most involved campus organization I would have to say is greek life. Greek life allows you the connections to be involved with student government, inter mural sports, and so much more. This is how I met my closest and best friends. Off campus there is a lot to do in Waterford, there is a whole shopping plaza that has movies and more that we like to walk around.

The most popular goups on campus would be the greek organizations, the football and basketball team as well as the student government association. I am involved in DECA a group that focuses on developing the business professionals of tomorrow. Students here close their doors because they like their privacy. There are so many events at UCF that there something to do almost everyday. I myself am a big fan of the career expos that happen constantly where students can get internships, part time jobs, full-time jobs, and co-ops. The dating scene is great, there is a great female to male ratio. I met my close friends through group projects that we had to do in class. If I were awake at 2 am I would probably be playing Call of Duty with a couple friends or getting out of the nearby club. UCF has spirit splash as well as career expos every year on top of all the SGA sponsored events. UCF has movie nights and all sorts of "dry" events sponsored by imporant greek and other student organizations. Off campus there are bars, restaurants, movie theatres, and even a several clubs.

Football games are a big deal on campus, as is Homecoming and Spirit Splash. The majority of people seek to be involved with the big events. That being said, there's always something going on and there are hundreds of clubs and organizations on campus available for anyone to get involved with. There are often guest speakers that cover a wide variety of topics and there are several theater performances each semester. Since there are so many people and so many social events, it's really easy to meet people, so the dating scene is good and active. People do party, but usually on weekends, although there are many college nights at clubs and bars around the city on weekdays. Fraternities and sororities do play are big part in campus life, but they're not important. You won't have a bad experience if you're not part of it, just a different one since sorority life is just an alternative way in student life. As for off campus activities, there are amusement parks, laser tag, shopping, movie theaters and restaurants galore. There really is no shortage of fun things to do, especially if you're not a drinker.

The most popular student actives or groups is a hard question to answer. Obviously at UCF we love our sports, we have game day traditions and we live by our traditions. We love to support our team(s). Outside of sports with a school as large a UCF it is hard to narrow down even to top 5 student groups. We have so many, we have Greek Life, Sports, SGA, you name it, we have it, and if we don't, you can start it. In the science majors pre-medical, pre-dental (so on and so forth) clubs/organizations tend to take the lead, but in English majors clubs or organizations such as Future Technical Communicators tends to take the lead and include many students in English classes. On weekends during the fall people can be found tailgating and getting ready for the football game, either home or away. During the week you can find people with their frat brothers or sorority sisters or even just walking around campus. Everyone at UCF is different, however as a student body we do enjoy to party, tailgate, hang out with friends, etc if we are not studying or in class (and sometimes even if we are or should be).

First of all, dorm life did not exist my freshman year on campus. No one really made an effort to get to know anyone because most people that came to UCF were floridians and already had their high school group of friends. However, if you are outgoing and take an initial risk to put yourself out there to try to make a friend you can be successful. I think that fraternities and sororities on campus have a visible influence, but do not run the campus. You don't need to be a part of these groups here to have a social life because there are so many options to go out. There are tons of student bars where you can socialize every night of the week if you want to, and they are always packed with cute guys! If you don't like the UCF bar scene, fair enough (I don't either), you can go to downtown Orlando that is only 20 minutes away which are packed with way cuter older guys! If you don't want to be around alcohol there are so many options in Orlando. I love walking around Downtown Disney on a Friday night or going to the Disney Parks. Besides the weekends, you can participate in Spirit Splash, the most recognized event which is part of homecoming. Everyone takes the afternoon off of their classes and runs in the gigantic fountain in front of the library. Don't get caught doing this any other time of the year because you'll have a fun night with the police!

One of the most popular events at my school is Intramural Sports. Almost everyone I had met has been involved at some point in college.

Some of the most popular groups on campus include: the football team, the basketball team, the SGA, the O-team, intramural sports, and IDEAS. I have attended a few of the IDEAS meetings and they are an environmental activist group. They plan events and do what they can in the community for the environment. I have also played intramural basketball, which was a lot of fun. Even if you are not skilled it gives you a chance to be active and learn a sport. Students in dorms do not often leave their doors open. I didn't even meet everyone on my floor when I lived in the dorms. The most popular sporting events are the football and basketball games. Every year during Homecoming there is an event called Spirit Splash. This is when all students are allowed to jump in the reflection pond! This is so much fun because it is the only day of the year you can go in it. UCF is known as a somewhat party school. There are students who go out almost every night of the week and there are students who never go out. On average I would say students go out,.2-3 times a week. Besides going to the local bars there is so much to do around the UCF community. We have a movie theater, mini golf, malls, restaurants, local shows and concerts, parks, nature trails, and gyms. There is a lot of ways to get involved and meet people.

People love the football and basketball teams. SGA, CAB, and the Lead scholars are also big organizations on campus for student involvement.There's also a very active greek life.
