Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There are many options available for all types of students, whether you’re an incoming freshman or an upperclassman. UCF’s housing service has dorms that will satisfy any incoming student. These include the magnificent Nike and Hercules complexes. The kicker here is that there are also many dorms, including Pegasus Landing and Apollo, that are revolting to just about everyone and aren’t entirely safe.

If you’re planning to live on campus, Academic Village is the way to go. These dorms are new, and they’re set up as apartment-style housing. They’ve even been compared to four-star hotels! Check out the other dorms before signing up for them; you never know how you will feel about someplace until you see it in person.

Overpriced

Overpriced, poorly maintained, disgusting. Why would you even want to live in a dorm when for a few hundred less a month you can have your own bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, and NOT have to move out by a certain time at the end of each semester.

Rosen College Dorms

The actual rooms are VERY small and crammed. The living room and kitchen are very nice and if kept up are not bad at all. The bathrooms are rather prison like, and some have mold. The cleaning services is terrible and not worth what one probably pays for in the dorm rent.

Atmosphere

UCF's all-over atmosphere is very friendly and inviting. The wide open spaces are not only beautiful, but they're also great for studying or relaxing.
