Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Orlando seems to be the melting pot of Florida, and UCF’s location makes it a prime spot for a diverse campus. The campus is relatively diverse, with most students’ ethnicity being white from a middle-class background.

UCF’s campus isn’t restricted to one way of thinking; there are many religions represented, a lot of political activities going on, and there’s bound to be a club suited for everyone. The campus doesn’t discriminate, and all students are free to openly believe and practice whatever they choose. The UCF administration has made it clear in recent years that it wouldn’t have it any other way.

Very Diverse

There seems to be many different people from all sorts of cultures and backgrounds. There are transfer students from across America, as well as army veterans. My orientation date I met people from the islands, community, and across the United States. There is a mixture of White, Black, Caribbean, and Asian people at the University of Central Florida.

GLBT stands for Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Student Union, and is a club consisting of students who share an interest in GLBT issues and concerns. There are many sexual orientations.

Economic Status

UCF is a state school, therefore it receives a large amount of financial aid from the state for the students. Students vary from underprivileged to upper-class. I would have to say that the majority of students come from middle-class families.

Most Common Religions

Christianity, Judaism, and Catholicism are the most popular religions at UCF. There’s no formal religious affiliation, and there’s no place on the application form for religion.

There are many minority clubs on the UCF campus. Caribbean Student Association, Chinese Student and Scholar Association, African American Student Union, Asian Student Association, Filipino Student Association, International Student Association, National Society of Black Engineers, SANGAM Indian Association, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Vietnamese American Student Association.
