Living at Home While Attending School Saves BIG
Personally, I live off campus, at my Parents home. Attending a University that is local is a convenient, and cost effective way to live. Because of this, i have less experience than most students at the housing process on cmapus. I have many friends that live on/ near campus, though, and find most experiences to be above average. It is generally easy to find housing the distance you desire from the school (E.g., some prefer actually liveing on campus, some want to be slightly removed from campus life when they get "home" for the day.) There are a wide range of places to choose from, including a new and clean "eco-friendly" housing complex right off of campus- walking distance even. Even though UCF is an enormous school with well over 57,000 students, campus housing and activities are never lacking; there's always some place to go with a positive social atmosphere. I have no experience or have not heard anything from people about the cost of housing, but I assume it's decently reasonable, as the market in the area is a buyer/ renters market at the moment.

UCF Equals Highly Under-Rated.
If i could choose to do it all over, i would absolutely choose to come to the University of Central Florida. When deciding where to go, UCF was always the back up plan for other, more popular schools, but since coming, I can't understand how I hadn't heard more positive things about it (possibly because it is just such an up-and-coming university that at the time of my selection, the positive atmosphere was just starting to be established. The scenery is superb, the campus clean, and the people generally positive, outgoing, friendly, and helpful. Occasionally i run into problems with there not being the right office for an administrative problem i have, but other than that my experience has been nothing but positive. Academically, I don't think i could have received a better education from any other public university.
