Not sure where else to post this, but I AM EXCITED!! Any posters out there a UCF alumni that could give me some advice about the college life there? Can't wait until the fall term!
Good for you. Had a bunch of friends go there and they loved it. One of the biggest colleges in the country, student wise. I just finished up at Florida State, i miss it already.
When I left UCF in 98'... It was a completely different place than it is today. Great school, tons of fun. Oh, and Frats are a waste of time, there's 40,000 students at UCF, don't pay a fortune every semester to have only a few friends.
There's more then 60,000 enrolled at UCF now. Welcome aboard Seabass. I work here at UCF. If you're ever in the Health Center building, come say HI. just ask anyone for Greg, I do the payroll here.
I graduated UCF class of 2010. Enjoy all of the on campus arenas/stadiums. Sports wise your going at the right time. We should be looking to do big things in football and basketball the next 4 years.
I will be sure to stop by and say hi then! I haven't visited yet but I hear the campus looks incredible, would you agree?
Congratulations man! Welcome to the UCF family! I just graduated this past Spring with a business management degree and completed the pre-reqs for dental school, so I know a great deal about academics. Additionally, I was involved in a fraternity (if you have any questions regarding that feel free to ask). I LOVED my time at UCF and I am sure you will too!
I respectfully disagree. -All but 2 US Presidents since 1825 have been Fraternity members -63% of US Cabinet Members since 1900 have been greek ---- To put those in perspective, less than 3% of Americans are Greek -Of North America's 50 largest corporations 47 are headed by Greeks (I've literally had fellow brothers move up the corporate ladder faster due to them being greek) -The all fraternity and sorority GPA is higher than the overall college GPA Three things in regards to joining a fraternity: 1.) Don't become a douche 2.) Don't judge other people that are/aren't Greek. I made plenty of friends outside the Greek system and still remained friends with my High School friends. 3.) Join a fraternity that will make you a better person. If you rush, ask yourself, "would I want to be like these guys one day? Could I grow as a person from them? Do I look up to them?" not "Are these guys cool? How many chicks do they get?" Personally, joining a fraternity was a right decision for me and I wouldn't be where I am today without it. Many of my friends have gone on to great jobs Doctors, Dentists, Lawyers, etc. It is a great feeling knowing if I ever need anything important or down the line if my child needs special attention from a Doctor I can call one of my Brothers and get the care and attention he/she needs. Additionally, it really helps make you feel apart of such a large university. That being said, I was a founding father and helped shape the fraternity I joined into being an actual fraternity of men that stand (I mean really stand) for our values and creed. Just my two cents...
Attended a two day dental simulation course out at UNLV two summers ago. I absolutely loved the area, weather, Vegas (obviously), and most of the girls I met were easy on the eyes too lol.
Congrats on UCF! Make sure to take advantage of EVERY opportunity you get at school and definitely enjoy it. It goes by too fast.
