I opted for UCF because of the proximity to my house. I can commute every day so I don't have to pay for housing. I also have seen and heard great things about the university's business program. I also wanted to love at home but attend a university, not a community college.
Course Curriculum
I do not like the way the classes are set up. They are called 'REAL' courses. It's an abbreviation for something. But we only meet 5 times total throughout the whole semester and the rest is online. I wish they were all face to face classes. And these are only in the college of business classes.
Exams
I took the SAT 4 times during my junior and senior years of high school. I got 1270 on my SAT. I took the ACT once and got a 24.
Fees
I receive Florida Bright Futures scholarship so I get a good amount of money chopped off of my tuition each time. But I do not receive financial aid. So for me, it just shows the total tuition amount owed and then it shows how much the bright futures scholarship pays for.
Examination Structure
The exam structure changes from course to course. For my business classes, I typically have 3-4 exams throughout the semester and then a final exam at the end. For my general education classes, they vary.
Faculty
They have to accommodate hundreds, sometimes thousands of students each semester because UCF is so large. I understand why they can not be as involved with each student compared to a smaller university's professor.
