Orlando is known for the best drink specials at any university I know of. You can go to bar and have a good time for less than 5 bucks

Different Perks

Our school has so many perks that make it unique. For starters students who live on campus and do not have a car can rent cars at UCF if they need to run errands or just have a car for the day!! I have yet to see another university that has that! Also, the UCF recreation center is so big, I do believe it is one of the top 5 recreation centers in the nation! The machines are all really high tech, some machines even create energy with every stride a student makes on it (like the eliptical), There are clubs for anything and everything that you may be interested in also!
