The University of Central Florida is a great university to attend. The campus is diverse , modern, and offers several opportunities to students. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at UCF. All of my professors were kind, helpful, and motivating. One of my professors was an influence on my decision to pursue a Public Health Doctorate instead of applying to medical school. I have always had a love for healthcare and science as I graduated from the University of Central Florida with my bachelors in health... Read More sciences. When I made the decision to be a health science major I originally planned to be on a pre-medical track to pursue medical school. After taking a research methods course and epidemiology, I discovered that I loved Health research and the impact that epidemiology has on healthcare and society overall. Within my program I was required to take an epidemiology and communicable disease course. Through this course I was reminded of the research aspect of health science studies that I admired. Although becoming a medical physician is a great accomplishment; epidemiologist study infectious diseases, trends of healthcare, public health, and global medicine. Many patients can be helped with preventative measures along with public health influences. Stopping infectious diseases, and preventing disorders or illnesses among different societies, will benefit a variation of patients. Doctor Rovito gave me a difference insight on health care, and I am grateful for his teaching style and dedication to myself and other students.

The University of Central Florida is located in Orlando, Florida. It has the second largest student enrollment population at nearly over 60,000 students each year. The University of Central Florida is a place of inclusion and opportunities. The vast internship, student organizations, volunteer opportunities, and educational access is unlimited. UCF is a commuter school, which means that parking will be your number one issue. Thankfully I've noticed multiple lots and parking garages that are being... Read More implemented to help this problem. The College of Health Professions and Sciences is where I spent most of my undergraduate career. Most students who pursue in a health specific major will also have classes that are housed here. Since enrollment is large, majority of science classes are held in an auditorium. The auditorium is split into two sides, with monitors used to help explain what the professor is teaching. Professors are helpful and passionate about your education. However, you must do the work. There are many opportunities to meet up with your professor during their office hours to get help on topics that you may not have understood in lecture. If there were three things I could recommend for students attending UCF it would be: 1. Network, 2. Intern every summer, and 3. Attend more office hours. As the NCAA undefeated National Champions, it is fair to say that school spirit is important to us here at the University of Central Florida.

I had an amazing experience at University of Central Florida. I ended up working in the Speech and Language Pathology field for the past couple years with pediatrics. I enjoyed the UCF program and campus because regardless of it being a large school I still felt a part of a great program. I have enjoyed what my degree has allowed me to achieve. The program at UCF was very supportive and the more involved in extra clubs the better support for jobs in the future. As long as I kept a schedule I was...

I am now currently enrolled online earning my masters degree in Applied behavioral analysis with a certification in Autism at Indiana Ball State University. I plan to work with children with behaviors diagnosed with ASD.
