Hi I know it’s a weird place to ask but I’m a commuter who is new to UCF. The movie isn't streaming at my local movie theater yet, so I'm planning to watch it in Orlando. Would anyone want to watch it with me? I love Nathan Fielder but Ik it’s not everyone’s thing but if you want to watch the wizard of loneliness on the big screen with me lmk :)

I don’t think I ever heard lighting like a BOMBBBB before

To be frank, I am severely pissed off at some of the intra-campus drivers. Yesterday I was sweating my rear off due to a heatwave and when I left a shuttle the bus driver called to me and mouthed “You smell really bad.” Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly for some who’ve had to deal with some of these impatient drivers, he stopped just to tell me that way longer than when he parked at a stop today. Today this driver noticed me crossing a street to board his bus again and finally stayed parked for more than 5 seconds, but when I was walking up to the door he drove off. (Update: On second thought he probably didn’t see me at all. I still wish some drivers could wait a little though.) The next bus I tried taking only stopped for a few seconds too. As soon as he parked I waved him down while crossing a road, he looked at me, and sped off.

I am physically disabled. It’s gone to the point where I’m waking up incredibly sore from having to repeatedly walk around for another shuttle, especially since some stops don’t have anywhere to sit. These drivers can take 15-30 minute piss breaks but can’t wait more than 5 seconds at their stop. They have no idea how rude this can be to physically abled students and disabled students like myself.

Another update: Alright, I’ve seen what some of you are thinking so I just want to clarify that I am not one of the serial stinkers 😭 every time I go on campus I take an extra shower beforehand. That day I planned to get a lot done and forgot to check the forecast… mid-day and mid-errand it ended up being 90 degrees.

Hey everyone! I recently got accepted into UCF’s BSN nursing program at the Lake Nona campus for Spring 2027, and I’m looking into dorming on UCF’s main campus.
I was wondering if anyone else is planning to live on main campus and commute to Lake Nona for nursing classes or take the shuttle? If you have any experience with the commute, I’d love to hear how it works!
I’m also looking for potential roommates for Spring 2027, so if anyone is in a similar situation and looking to room with other nursing students, feel free to comment or DM me!

Hey guys I’m getting rid of all my Hotworx stuff I have a lot as I’m moving away and cancelling my membership so PM me if interested

I wanted to give a kind of cautionary tale so hopefully others don't fall into the same situation as me. I will go ahead and admit ahead of time that I am at least half at fault for my own situation, probably closer to 75-80% my fault, and also this is probably a very unique situation.

I am a former UCF staff engineer, I worked at a certain off-site field testing facility operated by UCF. In 2023 about a year after I started working there I applied to graduate school because I fell in love with the work we did at the site.

Initially the professor who would be my advisor, who was also involved with where I worked, had me apply to UCF graduate school under MAE because originally my background was in Aerospace Engineering. He had a really intriguing project involved with it and I was quickly accepted under MAE, but it wasn't directly related to the work we were doing day to day where I worked. However, that project ended up not really having a lot of funding associated and we couldn't even get the necessary software to start working on it.

I was more interested in Electro-Optics (more in line with what I did at my job) and that was also his primary field, so he "switched" me to MSEE Electro-Optics track. I then took all the classes necessary to fulfill the degree, and have gotten good grades the whole way through. Initially I was going to do the MSEE Electro-Optics with a thesis, but this summer I switched to non-thesis cause I recently moved out of state to work elsewhere in the field and thesis became pretty much impossible for me. So instead I took two final EO classes to hit the 30 credit hour requirement.

So we get to today, I am doing well in my final two classes and I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to graduate so I start talking with the graduate office cause I keep all these errors on MyUCF (which I pretty much never look at unless I'm paying tuition or signing up for class) when I try to apply to graduate. It turns out there's this Graduate Plan of Study thing that I had to fill out, so I did that after going back and forth with the EE grad office and them saying everything would get approved. Then after that form makes it through their office, they inform me I'm not in their college at all and that I need to reach out to the MAE office.

The MAE office knows who to contact so a big e-mail with a bunch of people cc'd forms. And it turns out the only way to remediate the situation is to re-apply to UCF, get re-admitted, and then petition for the 30 credit hours (which are all MSEE EO classes) to be valid.

So I've effectively completed the degree, but it's all in jeopardy now because this whole time I thought I was in MSEE EO but I never was in the first place. Up until now there was never even any indication to me that anything was wrong, I never got any holds on my account preventing me from signing up for classes, my former advisor even thought I was in MSEE EO and was telling me what classes to take. I'm even still listed on his website as an MSEE student!

I feel like it should just be a flag they can change on the backend, I've already done all the work, but atleast I hopefully have a path forward to graduate...

Anyways, moral of the story: If you're a graduate student make sure you have a plan of study in place early and do your due diligence if your plans change to make sure everything is in order. I couldn't tell there was anything wrong up until the very end and while I'm sure it'll all work out there's a non-zero chance all my time and money and effort will have been wasted.

Just curious, wondering about the event :)

Hey! I'm taking 6085 with Ilegbusi and I wanted to know if anyone could share what the final product should look like.. I have my introduction and my literature review completed already — but I wanted to see if anyone could share what the final report should look like. I want to work ahead of schedule and try to finish early so I figure that I could start now. I already have my topic fleshed out it's moreso that I just want to see what the formatting, font, ToC, etc should look like.

If anyone has any tips or things to remember when writing the 15-page report then that would be helpful as well.. thanks!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but next year AI will be forced to be integrated into every class "to help learning". What's y'all's thoughts personally I think this will end up hurting us.

Hey I’m moving soon and I was looking at places. The 9 didn’t seem too bad and the told us that the rooms get bigger when you get to the 5x5 and 6x6s. But I’ve also seen some people say the rooms are small??? And there are issues. What’s everyone’s experience? Any recs?? And anyone from the 9 wanna show their rooms??

Is anybody at northview having ant issues? 😭 I’m a guest, but want to know if anybody has had issues.

Im leaning very much towards knights circle and was wondering which phase is the best or more preferable to live in. If anyone that is living there or has lived there before could give me advice i would appreciate it

I cannot believe UCF charges $15 for a transcript. That is so ridiculous. Every other school I've gone too has been $3-$8.

If I dont get to manage professor, can I apply centrally and actually have a shot at central funding? I mean how realistic it is to get funding without managing professors?

I have a Bachelors degree in EE, with a cgpa- 3.8+, and I have three conf papers

Question for all my poli sci/pre law majors

Who are some profs who are usually down to write a letter of recommendation?

Can I just walk through there to get to a room in the Ginsburg Center if I have a meeting in there? It’s always awkward when I walk in cuz they always have like 3 ppl at each desk. Am I supposed to sign in at the front desk or can I just walk to the room? 😭

I'm sorry in advanced if this makes me sound lame (cause I am).

I'm a commute student, and one of the cons of being one is that I miss out a LOT on campus life and culture. I'm trying to find fun events and activities to attend. One of my assignments in Strat for Success in College is to take a picture of yourself at an event. I take the bus from the Health Science campus in Lake Nona and it's one of the only ways I can get to campus. I'm on campus from Mon-Thur from about 9am-3pm. What are some of the events I can do?

Hi everyone!

I applied for my MA in UCF’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program and I got an email for their interview process. I read a couple of other threads on the same topic but they were 1-2 years ago. Looking for more recent experiences and advice.

One thing I read was that they no longer do the GRE but rely more heavily on your related experience. I don’t have much experience in counseling. I just shadowed a doctor during their ketamine clinic sessions with their clients for about a month and recently signed up for a crisis hotline but the interview is in a week.

I feel like this is going to really affect my chances of getting in and I’m extremely nervous.

Any and advice on the interview, my experience or to gain more experience would be really appreciated. I’ve asked around to shadow other sessions with therapists and have had no luck. Any other options or areas that I could look would be much appreciated!

Hey everyone, I am a prospective student who applied to UCF yesterday (🥳), and I was sent an email to complete my checklist. When I went to fill out the SPARK form, it had my high school one listed there three times. This is the first time that I have even opened this form, to my knowledge. Does anyone know what I should do to remove them, or do I just keep them there? I am also gonna email the SPARK help email, but the automated response said I should expect up to four weeks to hear back.

Keep getting told they are having trouble verifying my account, I can put in my username and password just fine it is the verification that is being difficult.
