Ucf

[MTXman 10+ year member]

So, I got accepted into UCF, and am waiting on FSU, UF, and am going to apply to USF soon.

I live about 30 minutes from UCF, and have heard alot of great things about the school, but I want some first hand experiences from students.

I am seriously considering attending the school for the '08 fall semester - but am torn between UCF and a couple other universities.

I know there are some UCF students on these forums, so what are your opinions about the school?

UCF FTW. I love that campus... I dont go there personally but it's been my second home for the past 6 months lol. I recommend going in the summer though because there's alot less traffic and you get a chance to feel out the area before you dive in for fall. A+ if you like parties as well. I'll be attending there in 09' cuz I'm dumb //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Yeah, I was considering UNF, UWF, FGCU, and a couple others. But have narrowed it down to 4.

I was thinking about the summer term as well, but then I have to resubmit my application, and they reconsider your acceptance dont they?

Maybe I should have done that idk, easier to get accepted into the summer term too oh well.

Summer is much easier, but hey, you're already in so why not? lol... I'm not a huge fan of the FSU campus area. I've seen people get mugged on campus at their car more than once. It's seasonably rough up there lol. UNF is nice, but it reminds me of valencia... it's like a community college away from home. UF and FGCU are very nice although there seems to be alot of "pretty" people at UF. I'd say UCF IMO

I wouldnt mind UCF, except everyone I hate seems to have migrated over to the Orlando area, plus it too "touristy" IMO (except for good ol OBT //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif)

I like my cities filled with strippers and drugs FTW

i dunno what i wanna do. ill be transferring in as a junior. and right now it seems like this last week as been "you need to decide right now what you wanna do for the rest of your life, right now"

go check them all out if you havent already. UCF is a good school but I cannot stand the constant traffic in Orlando. FGCU is a nice little school if you want something will smaller classes but public school prices. FSU = Historical and parties galore. UF you either love it or hate it.

I go to USF and I do like it alot. Sports are up and coming and they are renovation every year. They are making a massive new main student center that will open this summer and it is so chill in Tampa and theres stuff to do too.

Not sure if it still is but we used to be one of the top drug consuming schools in the nation

GO USF!!!!!

lol I've never seen any of that... I've lost my wallet on campus a few times and had it returned to me. But yeah, around the time of FAMU's homecoming, the Tallahassee area gets rough. I have a sh!t ton of friends that go to UCF and love it... I would never want to go there/live in O-town though. I went there once and got jumped in the parking lot, and then the cops got pissed off at me instead of the other people lol

Yay! Just what I was looking for in a university. Right behind location and academics was crime rate!

You just sold me on FSU lol.

That's good feedback on UCF. Only bad feedback is the orlando area itself, but I already live right outside of it, so meh //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Let's see what FSU says tommorrow with their decision, and UF.. and USF. UCF really impressed me when I went on their tour, so did UF - but I just don't think UF is for me.

UCF was a joke when I went there for a free visit 6 years ago...but recently they have come on very strong and would have no hesitiation going there. UF is a better school academically(alum here), but IMO hotter girls are at FSU and UCF, and more "down to earth" people reside at those 2 school also.

Most of my friends from highschool in naples all went to UCF. I used to live in Castleberry for about 2 years and my roommate went to ucf. Really decent school, people are easy going for the most part. I loved Orlando area. Never a dull moment
