The University of Central Florida

The University of Central Florida is a medium sized city in the middle of Orlando, Florida. When I think of UCF the terms "U Can't Finish" or Under Construction Forever" come to mind. Though I can appreciate that the University is growing, I tend to question how big is big enough? The school has 60,000 students. No, you read that correctly, 60,000. The only time that I did not feel like a number is when I was dealing with the very small minority of teachers/ professors who were truly passionate about their subject (my major). When I was taking "Gordon Rule" classes I always felt like a number, the teachers were non-responsive to e-mails, and I always felt like I was not important enough to them to merit their time or attention. What is even more reprehensible is my academic advisor who was absolutely worthless. I spent an ADDITIONAL YEAR as a student because she is incompetent in the position which she holds. When I graduate I suppose that UCF will have fulfilled its purpose to me which was being a vessel to graduate school, but I would recommend that prospective students look elsewhere before settling on UCF.
