Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UCF seems to offer a good learning environment for students. Many professors are passionate and genuinely interested in their students learning. Like anywhere else, you have your bad seeds thrown into the mix. Most teachers will assist you anyway that they can, and they’re there to work with you and your needs.

Students seem to be torn down the middle whether they find classes boring or interesting, with upper-level classes receiving better reviews. I would advise asking around to see what professors are well-liked and which classes are most interesting. Students are a fountain of knowledge when it comes to recommending professors and courses. Be sure to listen when they give you their two cents.

Work Hard Play Hard

UCF is a great school that offers many programs and degrees. My favorite part about UCF is its regional campuses. They allow students to save money by living and home, while still getting an awesome education. The class sizes are also smaller which is nice.

Best Major Ever!

I love the Radio/Televison major at UCF. It's a limited access major, so the classes are smaller. Also, we have access to television equipment, which will be super helpful for my career in television production.

Curriculum

I attended UCF because of its Engineering program, which is really great by the way. The campus is beautiful and stunning. Most of the professors are very helpful and are usually always there to help the students. Some of the class sizes are too large, for any special help during class
