The UCF Campus Experience

Transcript

Next, we’ll catch up with Christina. She’s a senior working towards her degree in advertising and public relations. She’ll tell us all about what it’s like as a Knight, including some of her favorite things to do around campus. We can’t wait to hear about the vibrant student life at UCF. Christina, the floor is all yours.

– Thanks, Alex. Hey, everyone. The vibrant campus atmosphere is one of the best parts about the college life. With 650 clubs and organizations, and a robust Greek life community, there’s something for everyone to get involved in at UCF. No matter which of our four campuses you’re on, there’s always something to do or see here. Growing up 15 minutes from UCF, I knew before I was a student, I was a Knight. M family and I would attend football games and I would get to dream of what life would be like as a UCF student. So when the time finally came to pick a college, UCF wasn’t just the obvious choice, it was the best choice for me because of everything that campus has to offer. I spend most of my time on main campus. And when I’m not in class, you can find me outdoors, soaking up the Florida sun. From lounging by the pool, to playing volleyball, to relaxing on the hammocks at Memory Mall. At UCF downtown you’re in the heart of the city Beautiful and close to businesses that one day you may intern or even work at. Colorful murals and street art are staples on campus. Plus there’s Downtown Market Day, 5K Races, The Taste of Downtown and many other events happening throughout the year. The UCF Rosen College is located in Orlando’s hospitality and tourism district down the road from major theme parks like Disney and Universal also has many opportunities for students to get involved. Events like Movie Might, the Taste of Hospitality and Spring Fest are all great ways to make new friends. Our Academic Health Sciences campus is in Lake Nona’s Medical City. Their biggest event is Match Day where medical students find out about their residencies. Plus there are many health-specific clubs, organizations, and volunteer opportunities for students. The atmosphere at UCF is unlike any other. I’ve created lifelong friends and lasting memories. You too can discover all the hidden gems UCF has to offer, once you become a Knight, of course. Back to you, Alex.

– Wow, Christina, I can’t believe all the nightlife has to offer, clubs, organizations, events, outdoor life, UCF has it all. There’s definitely no shortage of ways to get involved around here. We appreciate your insight. Take care, Christina. Next, we have Daniela Garcia. She’s a first-generation student who’s had a couple bumps in the road on her way to college.
