What's the most frustrating thing about University of Central Florida?

Allie

The most frustrating thing about UCF is the parking. Almost 56,000 students attend UCF and the parking lot is always full. Finding a spot can take up to an hour and can sometimes cause you to miss class.

Like I said before, parking. With so many students, there are not enough parking lots in the whole city to accomodate all (exaggeration, but you get the point). On the plus side, they are building a new 3-story parking garage that looks like will be finished this semester, and if you dont want to deal with parking, you have the option of attending online classes.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Central Florida is the parking; there is not enough parking for every single individual. It would take me 30 minutes to find a parking spot.

Tyler

The most frustating thing about this school is the financial aid (or lack there of). I am from a typical American middle class family and because of this I am unable to apply or qualify for many financial opportunities. I come from a single income family with two of the four children currently attending college, thus I am required to pay for my own education (which I don't mind). I just find it frustrating that many scholarships and/or grants neglect to consider families financial backgrounds.

Because our school has a large student population it is hard to enroll in the classes you need, when you need it. Some classes are only offered one semester a year and with only one section available. Some of these classes are only offered on the main campus, so it is a struggle to get in the class. Most of the students have trouble with scheduling. Every semester I had an issue with enrolling in my class. I had to wait in long lines to talk to the ONLY person that can do an override for that department.

Johany

so far the drive to my school is the most frustrating thing about my school.

Aned

The more frustrating thing about the school is that is super big. It is like a small jungle where I felt like small rabbit looking for the right place to be. Despite the fact I had a map, the first weeks I was always lost. The first day, I spent forty minutes walking from one class to the other. Now I’m more familiar with the campus and it only takes me fifteen minutes.

Kristen

The cost.

Sara

How often the textbooks change. I have friends who have graduate through UCF and I borrowed textbooks from them, but I cannot use them because the books have either changed all together or the edition is earlier than needed.

Chelsey

The testing center hours for regional campuses are very strict and I feel like there should be more flexibility.
