UCF is becoming more popular because we are a GREAT school with a lot to offer, not because we couldnt get into UF.
Please do not make assumptions about a school being a safety school when it is not for many of us...

Thank you for posting this--I completely agree!
I am a PROUD student at USF...like you, I did not apply to UF (or even consider going there). I have been to UF/Gainesville and didn't get a good vibe. I like FSU but I decided to stick close to home for now since I eventually want to move to NYC.
USF was the only school I applied to because when I came to visit, it immediately felt like home. I love it and couldn't possibly be happier.
I know plenty of people that went to UF and hated it and actually transferred here (to USF) and to UCF.
UF, FSU, USF and UCF (and even some other FL schools) are all good in their own ways and all have something to offer--something DIFFERENT for each individual.
To say that people only go to other FL schools is because they were rejected from UF is SHEER IGNORANCE.
