University of Central Florida Top Questions

Popular groups and organizations on campus include: Greek life, Volunteer UCF, homecoming, nrmal, Campus Crusade, and lead scholars. No, students in their dorms do not leave their doors open. I met my closest friends through my sorority. All of the activies on campus are extremely popular. Athletic events and homecoming week are extremely exciting and popular. Off campus, most people will go out to eat, go down town, go to a bar, or go to Waterford Lakes.

The most popular students are Greeks. Students in dorms do not leave their door open. I met my friends through my sorority.

There's a nice little club on campus called the Fencing Knights, where you can learn how to swordfight the modern Olympic way. It's pretty fun and laid-back--although members attend tournaments around Florida, most of them aren't training year-round for Nationals in California. That's because the club is mainly for people who are learning about fencing for the first time, people who have had an interest in swords or fencing for a while but never had the opportunity to try it out. The coach has years of experience and volunteers his time with the club, organizing group lessons as well as lots of one-on-one instruction. It's harder than it looks: beginners get an unexpectedly intense workout, so attending the practices is a good way to avoid the famous "Freshman 15." New members often come in with their roommates or neighbors; trying out a unique sport such as fencing is a great way to meet new people (or at least impress your friends).

The popular team on campus is of course the UCF football team. Students just come out to have a good time, watch some football, eat some burgers and drink some beer.

UCF students are lazy! If their not in a Greek organization, Lead, or honors then they rarely volunteer I can assure you that! The dating scene sucks unless alcohol is involved. Then it sucks the next morning.

Greek life is popular on campus. I am involved with Chi Omega. I absolutely love this sorority and this group of girls. Everything that i have learned about it just makes me love it every day. I wear the Greek letters with pride and tell everyone that i'm a Chi Omega sister. I am also involved in the Chinese American Student Association (CASA). I am Chinese and it seems like a great group to join. I am active within both organizations and currently running for a position in CASA. Athletic events are VERY popular at UCF. Even if you don't like the sport, you go because you love to cheer for UCF. If I am awake at 2 Am on a Tuesday, I would be most likely up because of academics. Some other people would be up partying, but personally, I would be up studying and trying to get my homework done.

I would say that greeks are definitely the most active students on this campus. We dont make up a huge percent of the student population, but we are very much involved in every aspect of the school. The dating scene...can be tough. Its hard being from the south, and not many people here are. My closest friends are my sorority sisters. I do know that people do tend to go out alot here, but its college so I consider it a little bit normmal. Saturday nights do not always involve drinking. Im always with friends no matter where I go.

Im in the Chi Omega Sorority. Best thing I have ever done!

The biggest groups are Frats and Sororities. I am involved in the Honors College. It is amazing, provides many opportunities and all the staff is so nice. Students in dorms do not leave their doors open. Football games are huge, most other things arent. maybe mens basketball is somewhat big. Guest speakers and theater are not that big. I dont know about the dating scene because I already had a boyfriend when i got here. I met my closest friends in highschool and in my boyfriend's dorm. I am asleep at 2am on tuesday. If i was awake, i would be hanging out at my boyfriend's dorm, probably playing a video game or going online. The spirit splash. Homecoming. People party a lot. Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are big nights to go out. I dont know why monday is one of them. I dont care about greek life. Last weekend I did homework, hung out with friends, and went home on sunday to do laundry. I hang out with friends, play video games, go shopping, go out to eat, go to a movie, go to islands of adventure, cook. Off campus: go to islands of adventure, go home, go shopping.

There are literally hundreds of organizations on campus. Any student should be able to find something that he or she wants to be involved in. And if not, it's not too hard to start a new organization. I know because I've done it. The group that I helped start is called The Arts. I'm the secretary. Three of my friends and I decided that we wanted to started a club that was focused on the appreciation of all forms of art. It's been a little difficult to make it official, but we've had a lot of support and already have a steady group of kids coming, even though we've only had two general meetings. I don't party so I can't say how that scene is, but it definitely is prevalent. If you like to party, it's always easy to find one. But if you don't, it's easy to avoid it. Since UCF is so big, it's easy to meet new people and make friends.
