College Prowler Take
The UCF gym has received great reviews from students and critics alike! It’s definitely worth checking out. Not only can you work out there, but you can partake in Wellness Center programs, such as biofeedback and massages. You can snack at the concession stand or climb the towering-rock wall that lords above the fitness area. Group exercise classes are energetic, fast-paced, and offer a rewarding workout with a chance to meet tons of people. Aside from the gym, the facilities at UCF are new and usually clean. The school hasn’t been around long enough to have deteriorated or aged just yet. When that time comes, I foresee maintenance and administration keeping everything up-to-par. You’ll find state-of-the-art technology and equipment in most buildings. The students reap the benefits of all the facilities on campus.

The gym at UCF is awesome, but can get super crowded. I can't stand our library---it's old, very dark, and kind of creepy. I would suggest studying at Panera or somewhere else off campus.

The library is great and has plenty of student study areas and private study rooms. The student union is good, with space for a number of various events. The athletic center at UCF is fabulous. There is plenty of machinery, tracks, classes, and a rock wall.

The Rec and Wellness Center is very crowded. It is open until about midnight, so it isn't exactly available all of the time, and whenever it is open, it is packed. I personally find it more beneficial to use LA Fitness (not campus affiliated), but it does cost a considerable amount of money each month. There is plenty of food on campus, but there always seems to be something missing in the sense that you are always looking for that place with that food you want and you just can't seem to find it on campus.

UCF gets it right when if comes to facilities. The athletic arenas are new and state-of-the-art. The library and computer labs are easy to access, and the student union is a fun place to be. All of the facilities on campus are nice and user-friendly.

FactsWhat To Do on Campus
Get a Massage for $40/hour! Although $40 may sound a little steep, this is actually a very reasonable price; massages usually go for double that. Spots fill up fast, so make sure to schedule your appointments in advance, or make several in the beginning of the semester.
Favorite Things To Do
Attend a group workout class. Exercise classes are very motivating and fun. Be sure to find a class that fits your strength and endurance. The Athletic Center offers classes such as kick-boxing and hip-hop dance. There’s a class for everyone. Get a massage for $30! Although $30 may sound a little steep, this is actually a very reasonable price; massages usually go for double that. Spots fill up fast, so make sure to schedule your appointments in advance, or make several in the beginning of the semester. Visit the UCF Robinson Observatory. What’s an observatory? It’s one of those tall, domed top buildings that have a huge telescope in it. And there’s one on campus! This is a great place to bring a date or visit with friends because it’s unexpected and free! Feed the squirrels, even though they advised against it. (They really like Apple Jacks.)
Movie Theater on Campus
- None, but the Campus Activities Board does arrange on-campus showings at the Knights Plaza, as well as advance screenings of films in local theaters.
Bar on Campus
- Wackadoo’s is located in the student union almost smack dab in the center of the main campus.
Coffeehouse on Campus
- Barnes & Noble Café in the main campus bookstore
- Einstien Bros. Bagels in the Education and Business Administration buildings
- Java City in the Library
- Joffrey’s Coffee in the student union
Did You Know?UCF’s Main Library houses around 1,517,004 volumes, one of which is a Vulgate Bible printed in 1546, the oldest printed volume the University owns. In addition, the library also adds almost 200 books to its collection each day, and has an impressive number of microform units, totaling 2,821,936. That’s enough to stretch, end-to-end, 225 miles, from Orlando to St. Petersburg and back.
The library also delivers documents to UCF students living as far away as Switzerland, in support of UCF’s distributed learning programs.
In 2005, UCF opened the Progress Energy University Welcome Center to better accomodate prospective students and their families visiting the campus. The center boasts a gift store, large auditorium, and a new home for the Undergraduate Admissions Office, as well as the latest in electronic and computer technology, making the office’s use for paper in their business dealings practically obsolete.
