Student Ratings
Mia Fitzgerald Student at This School - Grad Year 2016
UCF is one of the fastest growing school currently in the US. There is always construction and parking is a nightmare. Because UCF so large, it can be difficult to find necessary classes for one's degree program. Because of this, UCF has also been nicknamed "U Can't Finish" because many students do not graduate in the typical four years for normal bachelor's degree.
Katelynn castaldo Student at This School - Grad Year 2015
I love the fact that everyone that attends the University of Central Florida seem to be so united. Each and every game, event, or even day I see how together everyone seems to be. I love walking through campus and seeing all of the people who enjoy my campus as much as I do.
