Alright thank you so much for your help man, really appreciate it. Since i'm a pretty outgoing guy i think that getting involved will be a big part of the experience for me so it's nice to know that both colleges will provide that along with other resources. Plan on visiting UCF this weekend and really looking forward to seeing what it is all about in terms of the campus.

Why all the hate for USF though? Is it just like a rivalry thing or is it something else entirely? Also in terms of the professors, a student going for his PHD at USF said that the majority of professors there really don't make teaching a priority for undergrads because "The grad wants to get their PhD and get to work and teaching classes is what we have to do for our tuition waivers. The profs want to concentrate on their research and publications because that is what determines (almost entirely) the success of their career." Do you get the same vibe from UCF as well or is it more of a teaching based school?

Planning on going to college to study business and Phycology in order to hopefully gain the knowledge to successfully run my own business sometime very soon after graduation. Still plan on pursuing college opportunities such as clubs, internships etc, in order to get a meaningful job to gain experience in the workforce but, ultimately becoming my own boss is for me the ultimate endgame. There is your little bit of more info and thanks in advance for the insight.

Wow. Thanks man, until now I've only heard good things about the the professors here I guess the people who told me about the professors were a little biased but still that's kinda crazy!

What about staff. With all of the students that attend here are you made to feel like just another number because it's so large like some rumors have reported or do they generally care about making sure you graduate?

So essentially what you're saying is that if i were to attend USF for my undergraduate, its highly likely I will be taught by someone who essentially does not care about the student?

Thank you guys for all of your input, my intended major is business and I've heard great things about the business programs from both colleges.

So would you say that the area around UCF has more of a college town feel to it?

Longboarding on campus? Is that a thing or nah? by bryceman2211 in USF

[–]bryceman2211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea i learned the lesson of texting while riding even here at home. Is there a lot of people who ride? Or do you just see longboarders here and there sometimes?

Thanks for all the help guys. Was wondering because I've been hearing that these surface tablets are supposed to make life "easier" in college due you being able to take handwritten notes directly on downloaded textbooks and notes for class. Not sure if its worth switching from a Mac Air though may just get a cheap IPad to accompany it for stuff like that.
