University of Central Florida Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Brooke

I was always told that at UCF you could get lost in the crowd, but this is only half true. I am so thankful that on those days where I want to blend in and just be incognito for a while I can. However, whenever I want to be recognized, I am someone. At this school it really depends what you want to do; if you want to flourish, you can believe that UCF will help you in any way.

The best thing about my school is the fact that the art department, in particular, is very passionate about the students that they consider into the major and don't tolerate any behavior that doesn't bring out the best in a student. All the staff on campus are very knowledgable about the areas that they teach, provide confidence to the students, and ways to further their career as an artist.

Catherine

When I was in high school I thought I was pretty hopeless because I didn't do well and didn't grasp things as easily as other students. Attending the University of Central Florida showed me that I wasn't as hopeless as I thought I was. Everyone treated me like I was somebody and that I could and can do anything I set out to do. My school gave me hope that everything will end up right in the end if I put in the work and believe in myself.

The best aspect of the University of Central Florida (UCF) is the fact that no matter who you are, you always feel as though you belong. There are numerous clubs and organizations to join, intramural sports to play, and places to work and volunteer. The school has many students but no one ever gets lost in the crowd. At UCF you are not just a number, you are an individual and you are a Knight.

Patricia

The best thing about UCF is that even if it is the second largest university in the nation, it is still a laidback learning environment. While it emphasizes research at the undergraudate level, it also offers a diverse group of recreational and social activities for students, faculty and visitors. In other words, what I like about UCF is gives students the opportunity to have a well-rounded college experience and not just one that is focused on academics.

Janey

The best thing about the University of Central Florida is the sense of community. Ranked as one of the largest schools in the United States, I am one among over fifty thousand. One would think that I would feel like just another number, just another student lost in the crowd, but I do not. UCF's faculty and environment have always strived to make me feel like I am a valued and important asset to the University. I know that I always have someone to turn to for support and guidance throughout my academic journey.

Brittany

Before i attended UCF i was at a smaller college with barely any clubs or involvement with the campus life. Personally I believe the best thing about UCF is the numerous opportunities to get involved and make friends with different people. There are many clubs to choose from on campus and also in the student union there is always something fun going on. Getting involved with what clubs are out there on campus is one of the top things to having a successful college experience.

Andrew

It's big enough that the classes are not over packed (most of the time, for non-gen ed's), but not so small that you have to interact ALL the time with the teachers during the lecture. It's a good balance I think.

Allison

The best thing is that there are tons of fun things and ways to get involved. Lots of academic clubs, activities, and programs to keep you engaged and help you network.

Shaun

Walk into any Walmart in Florida, the sight of burly mustached men wearing Florida Gators shirt with matching socks is common. Trying to find the same sense of team spirit for UCF outside of Orlando is rare. With a campus of over fifty-thousand students it would be easy to get fade into another cheesy campus brochure for potential attendees. But at UCF there is always something to do, music playing, or impressive professors giving a lecture. UCF doesn't manufacture tshirts and paraphanalia in bulk but manufactures young people ready to tackle the world. Thats whats best about UCF.
