University Of Central Florida - [UCF], Florida, Orlando - Accommodation

Hostel:

The school is very accommodating. If you are in need of accommodations they would make it for you. They also had a textbook loan program so you can receive $500 to use for textbooks before your loan disbursement hits your bank account

I did not do interviews. Documents required were ACT/SAT scores. I had 3 LORs Good school, good program, great campus, great location, only 2 hours by car from my house Experience was amazing. The professors and heavy workload really helped me prepare for law school. I also learned how to think critically and write analytically

Hostel:

I live in an Apt off campus. The rent for my Apt goes up to $2500 per month including the electricity. Since I live with 5 people, it comes down to 420. Other expenses like water and food can be covered with $300. On an overall, the total comes down to $720. I hope the idea is met now.

It's been a tremendous journey at UCF for me. I'm really grateful to have joined UCF for my Masters in Computer Science. My specialization is Data Analysis - for which I have good valuable subjects to choose from. The courses can be accessed on the internet directly. There's also a decent Indian community here which would have you involved for several cultural events during festivals or other occasions.

Hostel:

800-900 dollars a month for single room.

It is amazing experience getting to know new people collaborating with new friends on projects is overall fun.

Hostel:

Sharing rooms off campus. Average rentals to be paid are $530 a month.

My overall experience at UCF was great. UCF is a research university and hence has a rich variety of opportunities for students who want to excel in the field of Computer Science, especially in the field of Computer Vision. The main point of contact for Computer Vision candidates is Dr. Mubarak Shah.

I've lived off- campus nearby UCF Tivoli Apartments in Orlando is a popular housing option for students attending the University of Central Florida (UCF). Known for its convenient location near campus, Tivoli offers a range of apartment styles, including one, two, three, and four-bedroom units. The apartments are well-maintained and come fully furnished with modern amenities. While specific costs may vary, Tivoli Apartments generally offer competitive rates compared to other on-campus housing options. The community also provides various amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, study areas, and social spaces, making it a comfortable and convenient choice for UCF students seeking off-campus housing.

UCF is widely recognized for its academic excellence, diverse campus community, and vibrant student life. Students often appreciate the range of academic programs, research opportunities, and the supportive learning environment offered by UCF.

Hostel:

The accommodation costs are around $1k per month and includes great infrastructure.

It has been great, I met some great professors who have been greatly involved in teaching and have been very helpful to all the students.

Hostel:

I lived on campus my first year and it was very nice and convenient. I do prefer living in an off campus apartment, though. It makes me feel like more of an adult, rather than someone who funnels money to the college

Only two hours away from home, has a good CSD program. I had to pay a little fee to apply here, but it wasn't a lot! I also applied USF and gained admission, but ultimately chose UCF! I am very happy with my decision, especially after being here for a year and a half! The CSD program has welcomed me and I feel confident in my ability to thrive here.

Hostel:

I live on campus and I like it because it is really convenient and I have many resources on campus. Plus, commuters have the struggle of finding parking before classes. I like my Resident Assistant and plan on being one next year.

It wasn't too far from home but far enough and was not nearly expensive as a private school. The application fee was not bad and it was my top choice school so I was committed to getting in. I applied to five colleges and got into four. I was a straight-A student in high school but my SAT score was 1160.

Hostel:

I lived in an off-campus uni affiliated apartment complex. So I was able to access free shuttle service from and to the campus, it took around 20 minutes in non-traffic times. It was around 40 minutes walking distance to the uni, 10 minutes from a car. I also used the campus buffet which had some offers for teaching assistants. There was a Walgreen by our apartment complex. To get into a Walmart or Aldi I had to use some transportation method. The reason why I choose off-campus mainly because it's cheaper than on campus. And during holidays and special situations like hurricanes, on-campus residents have to move out.

I completed a bachelor's degree(mathematics Hons) with a 3.93/4 GPA from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka in 2015. After that, I wanted to get into higher studies because I wanted to secure an academic position in a university. I applied to a few other USA universities including (UCF) and got the admission, tuition scholarship and teaching assistant position from almost all of them. I have heard about those universities through some senior Sri Lankan students who were studying there. The first reason to choose UCF is that I love hot weather and hate snow, so Florida is my best choice. Then as an institution, UCF is the largest University in the USA with great facilities for international students. Communication is really efficient. As an international student, I had to send many emails back and forth and got replies very fast. Since I got quick replies it was easy to deal with the visa process in advance. Also compared to other USA institutions application fee is cheaper.

I chose the University of Central Florida mostly out of convenience. The school has a direct connect program that made it easy to transfer my Valencia credits to the state school. I also live in the area.
