And by large, I mean 800 - 1200 people. The good news - the lectures are all recorded and you can stay home and watch them OR go in and watch them live, They do keep up the interaction with the professors or TA or other students online or in labs. It is a great system for such an enormous business school. The program overall is pretty good. There are tons of opportunities to really shine and make a name for yourself if you are a go-getter. Me, I'm a 34 year old who already has a solid IT Business Analyst degree, so this was not that hard but interesting. Some great students (if you want good students, take the > 6PM classes). You'll get the working people. My final project group had 2 ex marines, 1 up and coming fashion buyer, and a director for Darden/Olive Garden. Seriously. We did VERY well. :) University Resource Use: A+, Useful Schoolwork: C+ Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I also think UCF does a good job at having so many student groups on campus. If you want to get involved you can. I went to New Orleans for free through a student group. And if you don't have a car there is a free bus you can take to the surrounding areas (Target, movies, clubs)on Friday and Saturday nights. Cons: the financial aid office sucks here. Unless your parents saved up enough money or you plan on working two jobs, you will probably end up taking out loans. UCF offers hardly anything else. The classes are big, especially at the beginning, do not expect the professor to know your name, even if you go to their office hours, they see so many people. Because theyre are so many students, a lot of times the classes you need will be filled up before you could even register. Even though is so big, they still only offer certain upper division classes only in one term. So if you need a class that is only offered in spring and you cant fit it into your schedule, it wont be offered again until next spring.One of the reasons UCF = U Cant Finish. The physics department sucks. I have never came across a bigger group of condescending people who can't even speak English properly, let alone teach. The "doctors" in the health center are also condescending, they do not listen to you and believe me they will talk about you when you leave. UCF's library sucks. If you want to find a nonfiction book be prepared to be overwhelmed by books written 40 years ago and dusty, the entire library is poorly managed, do not expect to be able to find a computer, and doesnt matter which floor youre on, people talk on their phones loudly with no common courtesy for anyone else. Last but not least Career Services is an absolute joke. They say they have 600 jobs on their website, but only 80 are part time and for students and high number are scams. You would think they would filter out those but im pretty sure they dont care enough to try UCF is not a completely horrible place. HOWEVER it is not worth half of the 15k of debt I'm in.

I am from New England and coming to UCF for school was the BEST decision I have ever made and I had an AMAZING four years and if I had to do it over again I would pick UCF in a heart beat. First off, the people at UCF are THE nicest you will ever meet. My friends who visited me said the same thing. Most everyone is very friendly, very helpful, and very happy. And coming from Boston, that is a lovely lovely difference. Second, the teachers are mostly excellent. I can think of maybe three profs in my four years whom I did not enjoy but overall the profs care and they want you to succeed. I always had a decent amount of work to do, studied a lot, and pulled quite a few all-nighters- but that is what college is for, to learn something. Next, the weather. Perfect. Moving on. The social life at UCF is buzzing. You do not have to pick up a single alcoholic beverage to have fun here, UCF provides plenty of fun (actually fun!) student nights that bring hundreds of hundreds of students. On the other side, if you do like a party, Orlando is a heaven for bars, good clubs, and good dancing. Latin dancing- a total plus. In terms of making friends, if you leave your dorm you will make friends. There are so many clubs, so many classes, so many students- you will make amazing friends. I wasn't even going to stay at UCF, I was going to get good grades and transfer but I could not leave the friends that I had made after one semester. The school itself is just beautiful. It's modern, clean, green, and wild in some places. It is a treat to walk around UCF.Okay, you get the picture. :) Preparedness: B+, Reputation: B- Have a Question?
