    UCF is what you make of it. Hire all researchers as profs (to get federal funding), and none are good at teaching. you're totally on your own. better off w/ a book by yourself--I paid to be taught and got nothing in return. I don't think I've ever seen a smiling grad student - sad Which doesn't seem to be rated by this site. I am in Computer Science and the professors for this course of study are low quality. While they are smart and know their fields. They just cannot teach it to anyone. I have not learned anything here that will help with my career. ...Continue reading

    Beautiful campus, plenty of places to work on homework/study even with such a large number of students. My first one was on campus in person and i loved it. I graduated the first time in 2011 and i am finally going back for my second degree this time as an online learner. I have never had any problems If you just go to your classes and come straight home you'll have an okay experience, but if you really put yourself out there to do activities and make friends, It'll be the best years of your life. There are many clubs, opportunities and ways to be celebrated for your academic achievements. ...Continue reading

    They always find a way to charge you extra fees if possible. UCF is one big money-making machine. Most faculty (there are exceptions) care little about the students and simply want to play academic all day and get a paycheck. The truly good profs are fantastic. Avoid the Mathematics department at all costs. Although there are some good people, most of them are awful teachers. Seems like the teachers who could not make it at Valencia ended up at UCF. Nothing but problems here from the lack of good classes to constant issues with financial stuff. Location is terrible, somewhere on the outskirts of Orlando. As a regional student you pay full price but get nothing for your money. BAD. ...Continue reading

My only complaints are minor: not enough parking (they're building more but for now you can't get a spot after 10am) & poor internet (in certain buildings there's no wifi and even my mobile's 4G can't connect). These are minor compared to the overall quality of the school, but apply to everyday campus life--so just a warning. #sorryaboutthefootball ...Continue reading

    Im miserable. Staff has been very unhelpful, patronizing, and extremely rude. Not enough staff to accommodate students and thus shows not only when student seeks help, but also in the classrooms. I'm a hardworking student, not a slacker by any stretch of the imagination. The longer I stayed here, though, the worse the professors got. I started ewith engineering buy left since most hardly speak English. I transferred to business. Most in there are terrible and don't teach, are hardly interested in helping or working with their 1000+ students. Very disappointed. Not a serious school. ...Continue reading

    UCF is big. The main downside is that this school is huge. Every department made me feel like a number, not a name. If you can't do well in a large lecture hall, it is very difficult. However, I loved UCF's campus and location. There is always something to do (which was a downfall for some of my friends). The campus is huge! There's always something to do and get involved in as well. Academic resources are what really blew me away though.

    UCF is what you make of it. Hire all researchers as profs (to get federal funding), and none are good at teaching. you're totally on your own. better off w/ a book by yourself--I paid to be taught and got nothing in return. I don't think I've ever seen a smiling grad student - sad Which doesn't seem to be rated by this site. I am in Computer Science and the professors for this course of study are low quality. While they are smart and know their fields. They just cannot teach it to anyone. I have not learned anything here that will help with my career. ...Continue reading

    They always find a way to charge you extra fees if possible. UCF is one big money-making machine. Most faculty (there are exceptions) care little about the students and simply want to play academic all day and get a paycheck. The truly good profs are fantastic. Avoid the Mathematics department at all costs. Although there are some good people, most of them are awful teachers. Seems like the teachers who could not make it at Valencia ended up at UCF. Nothing but problems here from the lack of good classes to constant issues with financial stuff. Location is terrible, somewhere on the outskirts of Orlando. As a regional student you pay full price but get nothing for your money. BAD. ...Continue reading

    She is so sweet but the class might kill you a little. She explains everything so its not like you're alone and she doesn't mind repeating something for her students. Lab was online took like 1-2 hours depending on the lab. Don't recommend taking if you're not a science/med major. You will have to work hard for your grade but she is always willing to help!

    The only reason you really need to go to class is for iclicker points because her review guides cover the tests, and those answers come straight from her power points, but at the same time, her lectures are great, and you can tell she's passionate about what she does, so you actually want to go and learn from her. Never went to class. Exams are off of the quizzes (which you get two tries on). One exam is dropped. Easy grader on random assignments (such as making a food log). I failed my third exam and still got an A in the class without having to take the final. No textbook and notes are posted online. Highly recommend. Everything based off of her slides and in-class lectures. Really inspirational professor, committed to her job and involvement with students. Extremely nice and young (so she relates to students). Extra credit is great (and fun) because exams are a bit difficult. ...Continue reading
