If you're blaming UCF for not offering enough classes around a full-timer's schedule, that's pretty absurd. It's called U Can't Finish for other reasons, but mostly because students just take their time or fail and have to retake classes. I graduated from UCF this past December and I had a great academic experience while I was there.

 

Thats nice, I don't go there yet. I am weighing my options for this falls semester. Hearing stuff from friends and reading things such as this have given me an impression of the place. As I said, I am looking and weighing my other options for a BA.

 

UCF ranks equal ot other schools, it just is overall customer service is not there. It gets much better when your in grad school, but as an undergrad IMO your just another dollar and name. Small schools ..are much better IMO

 

You'll get the same customer service at basically any university because they're all getting their staff from the same type of labor pool.

If I'm not mistaken, UCF is the largest undergrad. school in FL, so they're going to naturally cater to that market to basically make it the best they can.

I disagree about small schools being much better. I went to a small private university for my first 2 yrs. of college and I can honestly say I wish I would have gone to UCF first. Private schools emphasize smaller classes, a better student body, more personal attention from professors, etc. In reality, most of the student body at these schools tend to be spoiled students with no work experience who will probably end up having a job dropped in their lap after graduation, because they're used to having it so easy, and being in a private school is no different, because they need to confer a good amount of degrees in order to be perceived as a prominent institution.

UCF is different from a smaller school because it's more challenging, which is what prepares students for the real world the best. Most students who go to UCF have work experience while going to school and they're the ones who excel the most. UCF also has a better name in an employer's eye as opposed to private institutions. I could go on. I know UCF has its faults, but its positives FAR outweigh its negatives.
