<p>Yes, I thought I made is clear in my starting post that this forum was dedicated to “bringing out the extraordinary beauty of UCF as an institution” and not some useless debate for ■■■■■■ like ‘JKidrauhl’ I’d like to politely ask you to leave this thread, it is not the place for you. Please don’t make me say more than that.</p>
<p>What I’ve realized is that most of the people who talk like this haven’t even been to Orlando before, their opinions have been formed mostly on ‘stray knowledge’. And what you’d find is that when they eventually visit UCF, they’re amazed at how shallow their perceptions of the school have been. Then they end up becoming fans. UCF is a treasure, people who discover it early enough are exceedingly happy! You see newer inventions and patents coming from UCF students, researchers, and faculty everyday. The school has risen so fast and already gained national recognition in many fields. Look at the games mentioned earlier on in this thread, or go to ‘<a href=“http://www.fiea.ucf.edu/joomla/index.php/why-fiea/graduate-games”>http://www.fiea.ucf.edu/joomla/index.php/why-fiea/graduate-games</a>’ for a full list, and tell me what you think. </p>
<p>And besides their academic prowess, there’s a socially active atmosphere that leads to that balance between a deep intellectual setting and a strong party scene. Plus you have Orlando here, the Central Florida Technology corridor is around the corner and the industry has a strong interface with UCF. Micro-Electronics Companies from across the nation, many of which have branches across the world, are here too in search of UCF graduates particularly because UCF has made a name in the area of Optics, Lasers, and Physical electronics. Earlier this year, I met a professor in Texas (teaching in the UT System) who told me that if he had his way, he’d give up a great deal to be a faculty at UCF, now this guy has been around the semiconductor industry for a while (abt 27 years), and a Senior Member of the IEEE (Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers). He told me that UCF was a World Class research Institution in this field and a pace setter in Florida, it simply stood out among all the colleges in the state for this, and this was well known among his industrial peers.</p>
<p>The list goes on … I’d like to invite UCF students, aspiring students, and parents to go ahead and post some more cool stuff about UCF. I can’t do all the posting, and leaving this thread idle makes ■■■■■■ like “” feel they are invited to post anything they like.</p>
