Master of Social Work Prgram
The Masters of Social Work program has a great vision but it is not executed very well. There is ample help in getting an internship of one's interest but there are faults in the program. This year in the fall semester there was no advisor for us. Dr. Burg was made available to us but she was also the coordinator and professor and had plenty of things to do without having to deal with the duties of an advisor. Another negative aspect was that for the spring semester there were very few electives available. This limits the freedom MSW students have in pursuing a topic that they are interested in. I understand that there is a financial aspect to this as well but I believe that more electives should be available per semester and that they should be of a wider variety.
On the other hand the workload and curriculum itself was reasonable and lived up to its expectation. A great facility available to MSW students was the MSW lab. I thought that was a great feature of the program.

UCF's Atmosphere
UCF has a great atmosphere. There is everything that you could possibly need on campus. There are restaurants, book store, nail salons and anything else you can imagine. If you can't find what you need there are multiple plazas very close to the school with many things to offer.
There are additional attractions such as disney world, sea world and other things that are not too far from the school. This gives students many options for recreational activities.
Also the fact that athletics are a huge part of school spirit it provides a sense of ownership and belonging to students who support the athletic teams.
Concerts are also frequently held at the brighthouse stadium. This provides even more activities that students can do while staying close to school.

The gym is a great facility. It has state of the art equipment and plenty of machines to keep everyone busy. It is also a very convenient location.
School sports are a great source of school spirit. The bring students together and provide a break from academic work where students can enjoy themselves and support their school and friends who may be athletes.
