Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Library and Athletic Center

The library is great. If you don't know your way around, you might get lost due to size and structure but it has everything one would need. The gym is also amazing. It's huge and has pretty much everything you want including an indoor track, rock wall, courts for basketball, volleyball, dodge ball and pretty much anything else you can think of. Its open for 12 hours almost everyday of the week and let you rent out equipment including jerseys. It's extremely convenient.

UCF Recreational and Wellness Center

I enjoy the UCF rec center. The staff are very friendly and helpful to the students. I asked one of the staff members to spot me and he was very helpful in making sure I have proper technique and to get my work out in. Two floors of various weight and cardio machines, you can not go wrong with that. With basketball courts, an outdoor lap pool, a rock climbing tower,as well as an indoor track to run at my own pace, makes me feel great. Sometimes I cannot find the time to do certain workouts, that I sign up their free group exercises class which motivates me to work out. There is also a Subway in the rec center to grab a quick bite as a reward for a good job well done. I highly recommend this rec center to all UCF students and faculty.

Reflection Pond During Homecoming Week, on the Friday before Homecoming, there is an event called "Spirit Splash." During this, the whole school (well, most of it) runs in the fountain at the same time, in celebration of the Homecoming game.

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.)

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.

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.
