Finding a spot and being early to class = boss level.
Between the squirrels, huge Florida birds, and frequent deer sightings, UCF will make you feel one with Mother Nature.
Basically, a huge swarm of college-aged children rushing into a large pool, stampeding over each other for the most coveted rubber ducks in history. And then everyone in your dorm is sick for a week.
The sidewalks don’t actually seem to be intended for pedestrians at our beloved Alma Mater. It’s more of a whatever-fits-on-the-sidewalk-goes sort of situation. Cars and golf carts are the typical perpetrators.
There comes a point in your UCF career where you genuinely forget that once upon a time the word “night” wasn’t always spelled with a “k.” This is actually the least offensive Knight pun.
Not going to lie, UCF’s proximity to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was a huge part of my decision to attend. Once a year, all UCF students get free tickets to Islands of Adventure, where the park is closed down exclusively for UCF students. Just let that sink in.
Disney World, Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, SeaWorld – you name it. You even get discounts for the movies and mini golf! They obviously don’t want you to sit your broke butt down in your dorm while there’s so many things to do in sunny Orlando. Maybe they’ll discount tuition…
Let me put it this way: there was a point in time where the construction of a tiki bar/beach-themed section inside the arena was being considered and made news headlines. Because, apparently, you need to be at the beach to watch football. Oh, UCF, how I love and don’t understand thee.
This is the preferred spot for clubs to do their tabling, preachers to do their preaching, campaigners to force you to vote, and businesses to ask for your money. Walking from the breezeway to the Student Union is great practice for all those times in your life where you have to openly ignore people and purposely walk away from them.
Prepare to change your shirt several times between classes.
Again, prepare to change your shirt several times between classes.
Because he is.
This might be more of a generational thing, but the freshman cafeteria where many a clueless freshman utilized their expensive meal plans, had to be changed for “health reasons.”
Are you going to study or drink? Tell your parents you’re going to the library and they can never say you lied to them.
Being the second largest university campus in the nation means everything is far (like, really far). Walking is like still owning a horse-drawn carriage in the modern world. Pictured: girl on bike speeding past two individuals who are probably already late to class.
MALL stands for Mathematics Assistance and Learning Lab. Do I need to say more?
Every year near the holiday season, UCF puts up a Ferris wheel, a skating rink, and a carnival ride right in front of the arena, much to the delight of college students dying for their finals to end.
After a hard day of classes, the best way to relax is to sit around the fountain and watch the sun go down (and maybe dip your feet in even though you’re not supposed to).
The saying goes, that if you walk over the Pegasus Seal you will never graduate. Thankfully, UCF puts up stanchions to help us avoid that soul crushing fate.
It’s got its quirks, but there’s nothing better than being a UCF Knight.
