University of Central Florida Top Questions

The worst thing about the school are the lack of parking spaces for students and faculty. There is also not enough room in the library to accommodate the number of students that attend this university. They have cut classes and increased tutition due to the recession.

Some of the classes are just too huge!

The registration system -- as in registering for classes. They use a seniority system when assigning opening dates for students, so transfer students like me that UCF recruits end up getting put at the end of the line. I'm having an awful time finding classes every semester and I'm ending up with mostly elective credits because the classes in my major are almost all full by the time I can resgister. Unless your a nursing, education, or criminal justice major good luck finding classes as a transfer student.

The size.

The University of Central Florida is a wonderful educational institution; however, since it is a rather large school, I would have to say the worst thing about UCF is sometimes it gets too crowded during the week days.

If I have to look for something to be wrong with the University of Central Florida, I would have to say the little money that is given to students when books are being sold back. I am sure that this is a problem at every school, but it is still very disappointing buying a one hundred and fifty dollar book and getting fifteen dollars back for it. Especially considering the cost of everything else it is just one more thing to add onto the withdrawal bank statement.

I would consider the parking to be the worst thing about my school. Some students drive around in circles, for so long, looking for a parking space that they are late or entirely miss their class. Also, I cannot think of anything else that is bad about my school.

The lmited number of parking spaces. UCF is ranked as the third largest school in the country in terms of student body. There are approximately 50,000 some odd parking spaces, and (I'm speculating) approximately 4 times as many students.

Timeliness. I wish administrative facility would respond to emails, phone calls and faxes in a more responsible fashion. They put your problem on hold and sometimes do not take action unless you nag them about it.

The parking situation. There are days when students miss class because they can not find a parking spot to leave their car. We have 53,646 students and only about 11,000 parking spots on campus. They are always trying to improve this situation but as of now it has not gotten any better.
