I use to get really annoyed by UCF.
The parking was horrendous. If you weren't driving around the parking lot hunting for a spot at least 30 minutes before your class began, you could forget about going. During my senior year, they were doing construction on one of the main roads on campus (trying to convert it from a 2 lane road to a 4 lane road). The construction caused such back ups that it turned the UCF main road into a big parking lot. Around 6pm, trying to get off campus would take 40 minutes.
Our "advisors" had a combined IQ of 23. You're better off just going by your catalogue instead of getting advice from them. The advisors usually knew less about the courses, prerequisites, and requirements than the students. I know several people who graduated a semester to a year late because their advisor screwed up.
Here's another problem: many of the classes in the sciences department are only offered once a year so you need to plan accordingly. It is one of the main reasons we say that UCF stands for "U Can't Finish". This is what happens: let's say that Physical Chemistry I is only offered in the spring while P-Chem II is only offered in the Fall. For someone who did not know this and plan their schedule around this, they could wind up graduating a year late. If you have to withdraw from the class, you'll have to wait a year to retake it. Also, if the class doesn't have enough students signing up, UCF will cancel the class.
I love my alma mater!!!!
