I graduated from UCF in the eighties. The school sucks on academics but HIGH on party.(The ladies are fine then and now). If you are a liberal arts major go to Rollins or a small school. UCF is still U can't finish unless you take everything online. Now you pay $18.00 an hr extra so you can sit home and be ignored. Classes are way too large and faculty could care less(mainly taught by TAs). The campus has always reminded me of some industrial complex or mental hospital. Very dark at night with poor lighting, perfect for a Ted Bundy repeat. If you live in O' town go to Rollins. Parking is outrageous, cops are either sleeping or on a constant stakeout. Water is terrible, football team has always been boring and never wins.If you just need a degree buy one online save yourself all the headaches.

This place is terrible. There are too many students and they all act like 15-year-olds. Someone was stabbed on campus, another one raped and I've been to several parties now where students were doing hard drugs. Several Greek organizations are losing their houses because they're not responsible. The campus itself is okay, nothing special. Doesn't feel like a real university. They keep trying to hide it but this is a commuter school. There's very little history here and a lot of the professors dumb down their material because they know their students are just at UCF because they couldn't get into better universities like UF. The football stadium is decent but it shakes like crazy when the idiots jump up and down so it's probably going to crash if they don't fix it soon. The sports are ehhh. People may come out and see them when they're winning but at the end of the day this is Conference USA. Woohoo, we beat Marshall. Not even ranked, not on TV, no one cares. I had high hopes for UCF because so many people were coming here but it's merely just another Tier 4 school with a lot of students. I should have gone somewhere else.

I absolutely love UCF. It is a beautiful school and to me it doesn't feel nearly as large as it is. All of my teachers have been helpful and friendly and really cared about each individual student. While FSU prides itself on being a "fun, party school" and UF prides itself on being "smart", I am proud to say that UCF can pride itself in both of these areas. It's almost as hard to get into as UF these days, but it's also a really fun atmosphere in a great city. UCF is well-rounded and a great experience. It's super easy to get involved and have a great time!

I graduated from UWF in 2005 and couldn't find a job. I spent 4 years saving up money thinking that going back to school was the way to go. I decided to go to UCF because it wasn't as "traditional" of a party school like FSU or UF. Only after one semester and a couple of weeks into the spring semester, I decided to leave and come back home. Just like any other college,you are forced to take fluff classes. I was an RTV production major, and felt like the classes were challenging, but too challenging. It's like you get to work a piece of equipment for the first time,then be expected to write,shoot,direct,and edit you work. More importantly, a lot of the work I was going to do wouldn't even go on my demo reel. Why am I putting so much work into this and getting very little out of it? Remeber, all colleges are businesses. When it comes to living arrangements, just hope you can stay at home. Save the rent and a lot of trouble.
