Went here today to find a out that the disc golf course is now closed and defunct. I thought the campus was beautiful, it seems well organized, but it is massive. I did see some construction as others have mentioned, but it did not hinder traffic at all. This is a great place for a walk if you like to be surrounded by lots of people.

I wasnt too sure about UCF prior to visiting... but its absolutely gorgeous. They have so much to offer, and a good location, except its pretty close to my own house, personally, which is the only thing I dont like. They architecture is gorgeous, and the traffic isnt too terrible, even on game days! Theres a lot of options for things to do in the error as well as good educational options at the school, too, of course.

The campus is absolutely beautiful !

I enjoy my days here for many different reasons - people, environment, working freedom and opportunities. Its an amazingly growing campus for good.The dedication of the university is reflected in many areas. Last year the football team became only undefeated college team in USA, the computer programming contest team became North America champion. These successes seems to be the beginning of many to come. It so exciting be here in such great going moments for the university.

Horrible school for parents trying to do better for their families. They wont work with you for smaller payment plan options. Advising has not been there for me when I reached out for assistance. They dont have enough evening classes. This is def for the traditional college student who has a full ride scholarship or has mommy and daddy money

I dont go here but the collage is clean and big. The student tat Ive met here are all super nice and respectful. The Qdoba here is really good at making burritos.

Great school depending on your department. I wish the higher-ups were more transparent, but overall the school is heading in the right direction. It is massive though, and parking can be a nightmare some days. First rate education.

This university is gorgeous, the green areas, the lakes, the roads. All very impressive. The cafeterias are really clean and their food is good.

Hey, I havent attended this school YET, but could someone tell me what to expect if Im going into software development here? Thanks.Also, gaaaah. I keep seeing mixed reviews here. Im pretty set on this school, so could someone also give me advice on how to prepare to attend this sort of school? If anyone has attended this place, could you give some quick tips? Help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Its a great school, you should definitely go. Massive campus with tons of people and a lot to offer. I personally majored in Business and they have a really great program. Definitely recommend courses in creative entrepreneurship Ive learned a lot and met a lot of great people here.

Cool place! I dont attend here, but it definitely has been fun visiting. Their degree programs are great from what I hear and their engineering program is superb.

Great educational system. The teachers are amazing. but can do better with their management of there buildings.

Beautiful place with lots of fun things going on. The fountain is a beautiful sight, and theres always something fun going on at the campus.That being said, they do operate very business-like and tend to cut corners where they can, and the area has a somewhat higher crime rate than normal, and very few security cameras.

A remarkably amazing place to spend money to suffer through classes. Parents, this is a good choice to send your kids. Theres so much to do on campus, they probably wont be able to get in trouble at parties off campus.

All money seems to go to football, horrendous parking , not even remotely enough., need more housing, planning on taking away engineering workshops, pool closes at 5pm ,so cant really use it because most people in classes all day and dont get out till 4pm or 5pm, Be prepared to teach yourself a lot of what you need to know by navigating through a million websites for assignments, the advisors convince you to take less than 15 credits to not overwork yourself, but really its just to prolong your time here and get extra $$$$, classes are overcrowded, lab times fill up quick.

Graduated from UCF and I loved every minute of being there. The facilities are amazing and the school is always working to provide the students with more resources, opportunities, and activities. Most of my professors were absolutely amazing, and as long as you show that youre dedicated and willing to work, they will work with you to help make sure that youre passing and understanding the material in the courses.The actual campus is gorgeous and they work hard at maintaining all of the buildings. My biggest complaint is the parking because theres never a place to park so I would HIGHLY recommend finding other modes of transportation ( I took the campus shuttle which was convenient and timely).The staff there is always very helpful and I never really had problems with speaking to an adviser or talking to the financial aid office, etc. Attending this school was an excellent college experience. Just be prepared to work hard and take responsibility for your schedule, etc.

Love this place! Full of opportunities! Best school ever. Im transfer student Ive seen and been to a lot of schools. UCF is definitely one of best ones Ive been to.

Well I dont go to UCF but I have been there 3 times. My best friend goes here and I honestly love it. It looks like it would give me more freedom than the college I am going to. I am thinking about transferring. Does anybody think this is a good idea?

Not satisfied with my experience as a student. Factory like institution. Hard to get advising assistance or any other type of help for that matter. You are pretty much on your own at UCF, do not expect to be cared about or helped in the pursuit of your degree.

Overall I have enjoyed being a student and alumni. Very affordable for the quality of education if youre a Florida resident, plenty of clubs, social events so its easy to make friends.

As a civil engineering student, good luck trying to make a somewhat good schedule. Class times and professors are limited, my schedule is always scattered. So far I have only had 1-2 teachers that can speak proper English, the rest you can barely understand.

You definitely need to stay on top of your grades- its viewed that it is your grade, and therefore something you should be monitoring. The professors will always help and change grades when proof is shown. The syllabus of each professor is your bible. Always go to office hours, and use e-mail or webcourses to keep in contact with both the professor and TA (if applicable). Definitely find an advisor you like, even if it may not be the one assigned to you... First Year Advising is amazing! Make sure to take full advantage of it! Try to get at least a but involved with the school, as it helps give you that extra motivation to go through the school work. Beautiful campus, amazing resources when you search for them- and never be afraid to just randomly drop into an advisement area and ask where to get help for whatever you need- its sometimes hard to figure out what advisement department handles what.. So just ask! The campus is also perfectly planned out in an easy to follow system!

I visited for a conference, so Im unable to comment on the school, academic programs or student life. The facilities are beautiful, and the campus is first world in every way, i.e. buildings, landscaping, facilities, etc. A great venue for a business conference

A terrific university with innovative students. The Greek life only encompasses about 2% of the student population and study abroad programs could use some work but this is one of the best public universities in the Nation.

WOW! You dont hear much about UCF but Wow! Our son is starting here and we had never seen this campus. Ive seen every major University campus in Florida and nothing comes close. What a beautiful place UCF is and all its facilities are brand new it seems. As parents we were blown away. If your kids are thinking of staying in State make sure one of their stops is this amazing University!

UCF prioritizes profit over student success. Some departments are funded. Some are not. The parking is horrendous. It has some good qualities but I wouldnt recommend it overall. Its too big and the school cares more about money than students. They should model themselves after Valencia College, which takes practical initiatives to help students who want to help themselves.

I attended the youth stem programs at UCF (All three camp connects and two of the coding programs) and they were very useful. It helped get a head start on what I wanted to study. The programs were very hands-on and I learned so much from them. It was also nice to get to my (possible) future professors and to have a feeling of what life is like in the campus.

My daughter just transfer to UCF this university is huge and beautiful. She loves it! Its a wonderful place to study. Very clean.

Students are rude, immature , extremely childish. I feel like I am in a daycare when I visit this campus. ...on a more serious note these students shouldnt even be called adults the general census has the mentality of a 12 year old. The facilities are nice. The scenery is nice , everything is nice except the maturity level of the students.

This is a very cool campus. Was here for daughter in laws graduation. School is very clean, tons of parking and great security.

One of the largest universities Ive ever been to. This however does not compromise their level of diversity and quality they put into their buildings, programs, is an student experiences.

Great university. Up and coming football team. Go Knights! Beautiful modern campus with many amenities. Always something new being built, UCF=Under Construction Forever lol. Parking is always tough to find however.

I may be a bit biased as I attended college here, but over the years Ive watched UCF grow as an educational institution and as a campus. From the expansion of campus to include the football stadium to the updating of the grounds, it just keeps getting better.Parking is, however, and may always be a huge issue, so be prepared and familiarize yourself with a map.

Second largest university in America- lots of great majors available. I graduated with my B.S. in biology. UCF truly does stand for opportunity.

My son attends this college - Hes already almost through his Freshman year. Yikes! Love this school & what its done for him... Beautiful campus with sooooo many awesome opportunities & endless possibilities! GO KNIGHTS!!

Best university there is! Graduated with my forensic science/chemistry degree and was able to find a job in my field 3 months after graduation. UCF prepared me for everything I needed to succeed. Im very proud to call myself a Knight!

Recent graduate: Large alumni community in Orlando area can help if you network appropriately. The College of business advising was some of the worst Ive ever encounter due to their staff providing different information both of which were incorrect I graduated an entire semester late and took additional unnecessary courses. They dont seem to care about academic success. Only person who helped me succeed was Denise Cordova!Parking is extremely difficult as well! The school is unfortunately growing faster than they can support and as a result its students and staff are suffering.

Excellent school. Great programs well maintained. Both my kids went here.

(READ ALL THE REVIEWS NOT JUST THE FIVE STAR ONES, IT WILL BE WORTH YOUR TIME) The saddest part about this school is there administration, finical aid, and office of student accounts. For this University to be held with so many accolades, they are by far the most unprofessional, disrespectful, money hungry school ever. They do not have any care for not one student and their blatant disrespect for others is tarnishing the schools reputation. Great professors and curriculum, but check the drop out rates & the amount of students who have been messed over by their finical aid department and student accounts. The government seriously needs to do an audit on UCF to unveil some of the most horrible attributes of their staff .

Alumni here and this school really is what you make of it. And it basically caters to all types for better and also for the worse. If you are a serious student there is so much funding at this powerhouse school and opportunities you CAN find something as long as you look for it. If you are more into the party scene and just want to enjoy college than by all means you will be surrounded by many sharing the same goal. But as a serious student (med school now) I cant say that I am happy with my decision at UCF. Although I did have fun I think it held me back more than push me. Only because there is too much emphasis on distractions/events/gym/sports and the party-school environment. With so many students that are not taking school seriously I let myself get carried away with the flow thinking my lazy lifestyle was the norm for a student. Kids go into class in their pajamas and the class sizes are so big youll never get to know your professors let alone a letter of recommendation for higher education. So Id say its a slightly below average place, as long as you dont get caught up in the wave of blowing off your school work which can really hurt in the long run. Avoid that and you can reap the benefits of all that insane funding they get.

Awesome school. I visited other schools and they were run down and dirty. Sorry to see unhappy people here because it is an elite school.

One of the largest schools in the country. As a 2014 business graduate, Cornerstone and Capstone were the most useful courses I took.

UCF has been interesting this year. The housing problem has gotten worse since my first year there. But my class size is surprisingly smaller which helps. Overall I hope the fix the small issues in the gym.

Once youre accepted to the distance online program youre pretty much on your own. Never assigned a program adviser to advise on the correct courses needed for my program. You can send dozens of e-mails to your department they will never reply back. theyre just interested in obtaining your financial aid , grants and money.ETA: In regards to the recent correspondence below, its a little too late to provide your number. That number was the same number I used to contact your institution numerous times. Secondly, youre responding after almost a year later??? Thankfully, since then I have transferred to a more caring university.

My experience was that the quality of education for my Masters in Teaching was OK but flexible and able to work with distance learners. I had a Teaching With Film course and Curriculum Planning course from the same professor who gave no feedback whatsoever and had a very subjective manner of grading. I was highly frustrated by this. Most of my other courses were average or good in quality of education, but only one was to the quality I came to expect from The University of Florida (go Gators). I would recommend UF over UCF for Masters in Teaching degrees.

I went to the national college fair a couple months ago in Florida, and there was a guy at the table representing UCF and he was just horrible. He was not only rude but he didnt know a lot of information on the colleges andmajors they had. He acted as if he was to good to be there or he just didnt want to be helpful all around . If this is what UCF is really like on campus I would consider going to a different University, dont let all the updated technology or big campus they have get to you, stay focused on the main goal why you want to go to college.

Top quality university and great professors! Loved my time at UCF!

You guys are robbing Donald down there. You didnt even back the man. He is making YOUTUBE VIDEOS!!! And you guys didnt have his back from the start. Smh. What is wrong with him getting paid for something he is doing with his own money/time. This situation needs to rethought.

The only reason Im giving it one star is because Im unable to give none. This is the absolute WORST school to attend! All they want is money. They dont care about your well being as a student or getting you through college. Their advisors are trash, they tell you stuff to get you in and out ... their professors are not any better. Ive had the worse experience at this university. Semester after semester I have to constantly turn in unnecessary forms that hold up my account and whenever I call to get information on anything Im always told I dont know or I think this is a sorry excuse for a university. I had to stay an extra year because I wasnt informed until the last minute that I needed a certain class to graduate. I was at valencia for 2 years and NEVER encountered these problems. But as soon as I transferred over its been problem after problem, hurdle after hurdle in order to even attend a semester. So save your time and money and go to another school.

Are u able to work at the Starbucks ? Not a real job I just wanna work........I have some questions too I hope some day u can answer them all!!?.........

HS Oviedo Graduation, easy simple no tickets $5 parking. Was great.

Best University, just make sure you research your professors: some are ridiculously difficult, others have a thick accent, most are amazing though.

I wish I can rate lower with how horrible this University is. If you appreciate your time and your education please decided to attend another university because they call it UCF for a reason, YOU CANT FINISH.Where do i even begin. Undergrad advisement is a joke because they will place you in any course just to fill a seat.This university has one of the WORST art departments Ive ever encountered. If your an art major please avoid at all cause because they will kill your dream in creating art. Ive took a year of art classes at this University and the professors only focus on students that are actually artist and have experience so if your new to art good luck getting any help or attention. This university claims they will help at any cause but this is false.Ive been to all the assistance programs, asked for help and had one on one with professors with no help at all. No one cares whats going on in your life, they only care if you have enough money to pay for your classes.On campus social life is good if you fit in with the vapid meat heads and greek freaks. If you want a good college experience avoid UCF as much as possible and go to university that actually cares about the well being of their students.

You know its a good school when you call a random help-line near exam week to find out if you have to go and he is just as excited as you to say nah dude you dont have to go to class and sh!%t, its a study day!. Oh and the women are plenty and beautiful.

Large modern campus with a hometown feel. I love the layout. A class act.

I will graduate from the College of Business Administration in 2015 as a Marketing Major and a member of the Professional Selling Program. I have had nothing but positive experiences with UCF, all of which I earned through hard work and dedication to my education.This school is like most things, you reap what you sow. Come to UCF and sow high quality seeds deep in this fertile ground; you too will see flowers bloom all around you.

My experience at UCF has been beyond wonderful. I loved my professors, my peers, the campus, and I feel prepared for the professional work force.

My daughter went to UCF for 2yrs and every Christmas they out do themselves by turning the Campus into a Magical Winter Wonderland...i go every year...i love Christmas and we get our photos taken with Santa...you feel like a child..its the BEST...Go UCF..

Employers ask for students who graduate to have stronger Excel strengths. UCF School of Business Dean Jarleys response?Lets take this course offered at EVERY other college in the nation and make it worth 1 credit, force students to enroll in it for 4 semesters, and create the most busy work that will have 0 effect on students post college performance and take time away from actual classes that are benefiting these students. College of Business needs to get their act together if they are really trying to produce solid graduates.

Beautiful University. The facilities are well maintained, but they should invest in more parking!

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend the University of Central Floridas off campus Microsoft Certified Systems Engineering program which included seven categories of valuable importance for its time. I will never forget the importance of several of the principles Ive learned in the program. Today the upgraded program is Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert and includes everything from Server Infrastructure to Business Intelligence and I look forward to upgrading through U.C.F. because of the quality of their instructors and the professional environment provided.

Administration is incompetent, condescending and stupid. They dont want to help you, and even if they did they arent capable. One wonders how any of them got their positions, until you remember where you are. They couldnt make it in the real world, so they ended back up in the safe confines of academia. These people havent made it past their early 20s, either professionally or emotionally, so consider that when thinking about where to spend your tuition.

UCF is a great University! Theyre a few small things that will take some getting used to like never finding parking and trying to understand all of the different accents of your professors.Once you get past those things you will realize how great this school is. I graduated from the COB or college of business and have nothing but positive things to say about all of my professors! The tuition was high (like most great schools) but overall it was worth it and I definitely would choose UCF again!

The professors and students are great but the administration is horrible. All they care about is their money, and if you cant afford it, they dont care to help you at all. They dont work with students with limited money. If you dont pay them what they want, when they want it, they kick you out.

This is a very great college , its very organized and well put together i will think about taking my son and daughter they are almost there the campus is just gorgeous and very many thing to do keep you busy and staying in a good way

Cool campus, but not many people now where things are around campus.

I love UCF! Great engineering school

Wildly overpriced and some of the programs that are suppose to help students can be the biggest headache. Love my degree path and my teachers so thats a plus but looking back, college seemed like a big waste. Or at least this college.

UCF is a great university that doesnt get enough credit. Thats partially because its a relatively young university at just 50 years old. Its also partially due to our football team being in a lesser known conference.It is a large university and with that comes a lot of pros and cons. Yes, your classes are going to have more students in them, but youll also have more opportunities (including more events for students, more student organizations to get involved with, and over time more alumni to connect with). As with any university, there are a few programs that are better than others. At UCF, that appears to be Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Marketing (specifically the Professional Selling Program).

I attended the commencement held on Friday 12/15/2017. It was easily the poorest commencement I have ever attended, including pre-school, kindergarten, elementary, middle school, high school and college. The main speaker, a political hack who was a UCF grad, struggled to read every word of his typed speech, sometimes pausing in mid sentence as if trying to make out someones handwriting only there wasnt any handwriting. There were only two, one a UCF student< who didnt read every word of even the simplest statement. You really need to do much, much better UCF!

This is a beautiful university with great opportunities for anyone or everyone whos looking for a better tomorrow

I really like how they got every classes i need i will like to go there

Absurd unnecessary policies that only serve to hinder students from finishing or even finishing at all. The best thing is they are making you pay for it. Thank you UCF

Too much to outline about this place. Putting it simple, it’s fame is fabricated.

Great play to live around and Work , The greatest University of Central Florida and great place to get an Education.Go Knights

Awesome and Beautiful campus. Cant wait to start classes.

Awesome work environment. Staff is top- notch.

I would like to know if you guys having ucf students going to community and knocking on people doors asking for money carrying bottle on detergent soap. I try call the your number and no respond...

This is the worst school in the whole country. Everything about being here is absolutely horrible, the classes are way too easy, health services is quick to lose paperwork (happened to me more than once), the dining services has no sound method of record keeping and the food in 63 South is like that of a third world country. In the dorms, my roommate filled out a work order in August, and they didnt follow up about it until November. The big fountain was broken for a whole academic year, and all it did was collect rainwater and dirt. So many people live off campus so on the weekends, the campus is a ghost town. There is no public transportation other than the Lynx bus service which is poorly scheduled and poorly run. For all the high schoolers wanting to experience Florida by going to UCF, let me warn you, it is not the kind of experience you should want, and you would be far better off applying to a school in South Florida, or even another state. And to respond to the question asked by UCF, I was a UCF student.

The UCF Main Campus is a delight. As a student who has attended for about 4 years, I can say that there is always something new to look at or participate in on campus.

1 in 5 professors here provide a quality experience. As a Computer Engineering undergrad with 5 classes left I will say this has been the most ridiculously challenging commitment I have ever gone through. This university will not hold your hand. You will spend tons of money. This university will try everything in its power to break you (if your major is worth anything). But maintain a strong will and after being chewed up and spat out several times, you might just land a career afterwards. At least there are jobs now.

Absolutely no regrets coming to this school. Ive never been so happy to be here than any other place my entire life

For the second largest school in the country it is a great place to be its like its own small town with its culture and atmosphere

UCF is a great university. Lots of options and opportunites no matter what you want to study. Like most large universities, you have to make your own way, or you can get lost in the shuffle, but you will find great opportunities here. Great campus, but terrible parking.

This place is so big. Too many students for the faculty and staff to keep up with. Nobody knows what is going on. Communication sucks. They call it U Cant Finish for a reason. They spin you in circles to get more money out of you. They dont care about your education. Professors only care about the paycheck and staff only care about their job and administration only cares about how many more students they can cram in. I was even told by the one of the departments that there were too many students and not enough faculty to give me the help and attention I asked for. Crap. Complete crap.

My son completed his first year at UCF. It was a good intro to college life and prepared him for UF transfer the following fall.

Hard to park, no awning/overheads to cover you anywhere when raining, circle design makes it easy to navigate

They should invest in more parking, but the facilities are well maintained.

Very amaiable college with lots of space to study, and do research. Numerous programs available, very kind neighbors.

Beautiful campus. Just needs more parking.

STATE SCAM SCHOOL; no joke I make fun of college kiddies in general for getting ripped off but this place takes the cake. Completely in bed with the Education system to systematically brainwash children to go here. Anything this intuition offers can be found cheaper/better at a community college unless youre a foureyed labcoat trying to get in Nasa.

Great school. Perfect environment to form connections of a lifetime.

Its very nice, and theres a lot of cool people & wonderful opportunities around as well.

UCF named short-term provost Dale Whittaker as president, a real disappointment. He was passed over at Iowa State, where he made it to finalist for the top slot just as a ploy to pressure UCF.Arms twisted, UCF buckled and named Whittaker - yet another older white guy - as president, Why was Diane Chase chased off, the pride of UCF? Her banishment to Vegas is a scandal, look it up.1967 called and wants its white male entitlement back. Is agricultural engineering - Whittakers field - really the knowledge base needed in....Orlando? Is this political hack, who grins nonstop and has memorized lots of word-salad jargon, the best UCF can do?This is not the innovation UCF pretends to prize. This is same old, same old. No financial donations until the executive suite resembles the rest of America.

Lack of parking for student population that seems to be growing exponentially. Need a class or lab for a program? Good luck with that, since it fills up before you ever even get a chance to sign up for it. Took classes at an affiliated college? Get ready to sign forms for the online system to override you into the class because the system doesnt recognize that your prerequisites do indeed count. OH, but then get ready to be denied because the class fills up in the time it takes you to sign the forms and now they dont override you into a class that is full.Its not unusual for seniors to take labs for lectures they took a year ago because there just arent enough seats, or to be delayed from graduating. Get ready for admissions to sit on your transcripts and not update the classes you took for MONTHS.UCF= U Cant Finish

You guys suck seriously suspending students over personal relationship related disputes. Theres no law the forbids a student from posting a letter he received from an EX-lover. SMH

I attend UCF and it is the best university. UCF is not only an university, it is a place to spend time with your friends, they have workshops, events for students to participate, engage and have fun. They provide an excellent support in many areas, not only in your academics they have advisors, mentors, coaches but, as well they provide counseling in crisis, tough decisions, family. It is a place to be, to belong, to better yourself.

I transferred to UCF after finishing my A.A. at Seminole State College, which I think contributes to my so-so experience at UCF. Maybe if I had started there as a Freshman, I would have been more involved and enjoyed it more. The campus is HUGE, as are many of the classes. Initially I was a Psychology major, and one of my classes was in a 400 seat room. Before I could talk with the professor, I was required to ask my peers, then ask a TA, and then, MAYBE, the professor would have time for me. Dont get me wrong, I understand how hard it must be to juggle hundreds of students. However, if I had the money and time to do it over again, I probably would have chosen a smaller, perhaps private school, to get the student-teacher ratio I prefer.The campus is pretty nice, and very few of the buildings are what I would consider in need of some TLC. The student union is great, and there are opportunities to get involved in many clubs and organizations.The academics, at least in my program which is Humanities, were okay...personally I dont really feel like I was very challenged throughout much of my time there, with the exception of one or two classes. If you are a science major though, Ive heard the programs here are top notch for those fields.

The campus is large, well maintained, and contains all the essentials on site: shopping, dining, medical, and abundant recreational activities. Interacting with all departments of the university has been a pleasure. The College of Business has been rigorous and the faculty surprisingly friendly and impressively qualified. Peers and friends are alumni of or students at UF, FSU, The U, USF and plenty more out of state. Mine, my wifes, and all my alumni or student friends rate highly their experience with UCF.

Its a Beautiful Campos, I see why students quickly fall in love with it. State of the art facility with a highly rated education.
