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.
