What do you consider the worst thing about University of Central Florida? Why?

Lisa

Too many students

Simone

The word part of attending my school is the math courses. Here at the University of Central Florida the math courses and primarily done online. I am not a big fan of this because I rather do pencil and paper work for mathmatics. Every single assignment for math is done and submitted online, including homework, quizzes, and the exams. On top of the online system they use here there is a requirement to go to the math lab for a certain amount of hours per week. In the math lab they have very strict rules on what you can do.

The fact that my higher education institution does not offer a Tuition Installment Plan and I have to resort to extreme conditions to allocate $3,000 by February 1, 2013 in order to stay on track for Aerospace Engineering.

Not as die-hard fans as other schools.

If you just look at the number of undergraduates attend UCF, more than 60,000, you can see my frustration with competing for an open spot in a class I want. But because we have such a large population, UCF works hard to have as many teachers and classes as possible. It's hard in high school to learn a subject to it's full potential when many of the teachers haven't had real world experience. At UCF, numerous professors don't just have teaching degree but also have had outside jobs that relate to their class.

There are few things I have to complain about UCF. What i consider to be the worst is the costs of housing. I pay more for housing than my tuition. This has caused many students to seek out off campus housing or forcing them to take hour long trips to school from home. In my opinion, On campus housing should be cheaper than off campus since I am a student at UCF.

The worst thing about UCF is the parking. Parking in the garages at UCF is the most stressful task. You will spend time driving up and down the garage if it is busy. The first week is extremely packed and sometimes the parking garages even fill to capacity. If you have class after 10am, good luck finding parking in under ten minutes.

The area. It's so far from the areas of main businesses like grocery stores and shopping centers that without a car it would be hard to get to any of those places.

Melissa

This school edges on the conservative side , so where there were pleny of judaic studies, most other religions got left by the wayside. Furthermore, because it is still growing, it is focused heavily on improving its 'practical' course offerings. So this means there isn't much variety in, say, what languages you can take, or what extracurriculars are available. The worst thing is definitely the fact that a lot of students feel lost, or like they're recieving bad advice (even fi they only ask friends!) Read the undergraduate handbook and command your own future.
