University of Central Florida Top Questions

52,000 students and rising! Having such a big University has its pros but also many cons. Classes are very hard to get into! I have been vying for a spot in a Chemistry class for two semesters and have yet to prevail. This is frustrating because it puts me behind in my major as well as other students! There are so many students here that until you fully branch into your major it is very hard to get into many classes!

Due to the large number of students in attendence, UCF has a deficiency in parking spaces. To overcome this issue, a large grass parking area exists near the Stadium and a shuttle runs all daily transporting students from that lot to the center of campus. This still causes a delay which requires that one arrive at the school well before the start of the day's first class.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that when you first get there as a freshman the size of it is very terrifying, and because of this you become overwhelmed and get lost. eaisly.

Even though I am only a freshman in college I already have more school spirit than I thought was possible. I love football games, basketball games, I love it all. There are sometimes though when I walk around campus that I see students displaying other school's mascots. I understand that my school may have not been their first choice but now they are here so they should try and assumalate. All in all I would have to say that when people support other schools while attending my school it is frustrating.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the gym. Our gym only has four benches and two squat racks for over 50,000 students. The wait for workout equipment can become quite frustrating.

Finding a place to park your car?

I do love how many students there are but sometimes the size of the school is not so good when it comes to class size and academic advising.

The most frustrating thing about UCF is enrolling in classes. Depending on the type of class, some fill up faster than others, leaving you with the possibility that the class you needed to take will be full by the time you get around to signing up. Also, some course prefixes may have changed since you first enrolled at the school, but you may not be aware of this and try searching for the class using the old prefix. This is not rule, though it may happen on occassion.

The most frustrating thing about the university I attend is the overcrowdedness present in most classes as it is the nation's third largest university. At times there is a benefit to having such a wide variety of individuality yet intimacy between teacher and student is thus increasingly threatened. I feel that such an overflow of students creates less opprtunities to bring to fruition those dormant talents present within each and every student.

The most frustrating thig about school is that not everyone is there to learn. Many pople are there because their familiy is forcing them so they may make it hader by being a distraction and showing out in class.
