UCF Q&A (campus life, online learning, jobs, etc.) | Kathy Li 

Yay! That's so awesome congrats! Well make sure to subscribe for more awesome college videos and definitely check out my past video in the playlist titled college :)

of course! More to come! :)

Hi there! sorry I am just seeing this now but you're welcome for the video! Make to subscribe for more college, florida lifestyle, and disney inspired content! 1) Professors and TAs usually grade your quizzes and tests especially if there are short answer or essay questions involved but sometimes if its a simple multiple choice quiz online, then the system just automatically gives you a grade afterward. Grading information is usually written in the course syllabus. 2) Yes this is also mentioned on the course syllabus. Professors have office hours where you can meet with them either virtually or in person depending on theirs and your comfort level with the current times. From my experience, it's sometimes easier to meet with the TA of the class for help instead of the professor but again, you just have to reach out for help if you need it. 3) I typically take around 13-15 credits which is about 3-5 courses and each course really varies in size. My freshman year pre-covid, my statistics course was 300+ students in a lecture hall and I also had an english course that was only 12 students. This past year, all my classes have been online. 4) I personally don't have any experience as I am not an engineering major but I've been in the building for one of my classes last spring and it is really big and there are a lot of study spaces. For more information on UCF's engineering program, I recommend visiting this website: www.ucf.edu/college/engineering-computer-science/ 5) Firstly I recommend visiting this website: www.ucf.edu/coronavirus/update-on-our-return-to-more-normal-operations/ for updates for the upcoming semesters. There are definitely both virtual and in person events. A good way to find them is through this website called Knight Connect where students can RSVP to a lot of the in person or virtual events at UCF. and finally happy to help!

@@kathyxli24 Thank you so much!!!

@@dancerloverish of course happy to help 😊

Hi Bianca! that's awesome! I'm glad you are a UCF Knight! :)

Of course! More college content is on its way so make sure to subscribe and stay tuned

@@kathyxli24 question how long are the add, drop periods for classes?

Yes of course! UCF has a federal work study program and a lot of campus jobs are available through that whether it’s working at a coffee shop or working as a Campus Ambassador. There are many options to apply and choose from! Here’s the link for more information: www.ucf.edu/financial-aid/types/federal-work-study/

Hi! Extracurriculars are definitely important! I was really involved in high school and even though I didn’t get the highest SAT scores and I got average grades. I think extracurriculars and my involvement is actually what got me into UCF 💛🤩

Try volunteering extracurriculars like key club or the rotary club, I got accepted to UCF and I didn’t know my major yet so I was undeclared but I was in key club, volleyball and softball so I think it helps

@@riannadouglas6887 yes 100% agreed! I played volleyball too and was involved with class council, student council, yearbook committee, and more! 💛🖤 you got this 😊

okay firstly that's so awesome! Secondly, I think business might be good to start with and you can always take hospitality or restaurant management as a certificate/minor later on. Most of the classes in that program can qualify for your restricted electives as well. I also encourage you to talk to the advisors during or after orientation to just triple check what the best courses to take would be. Here's more information on the UCF's Rosen College program: www.ucf.edu/degree/hospitality-management-bs/. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

I am so sorry I am just now seeing this! I hope you were able to find online options. Summer classes typically have a lot more hybrid and fully online courses available especially for the general education courses to earn your Associate's degree. Go Knights! Charge On!

Okay this is a year later but I’m so sorry I can’t believe I missed this comment! Laundry used to be free at the Rosen campus but main campus was always charged through quarters. now it’s done through an app called speed queen and I believe it’s $1.00 to wash and like $1.25 to dry? Not 100% sure on the pricing but what’s nice is you see the availability of the washer and dryers on every floor so you don’t have to lug all your clothes over just to see that all the machines are being used and you can use ucf knights cash to pay through the speed queen app as well! 💛🖤

what do you mean by a helper? Do you mean Orientation Leader or First-Year Experience Staff member? Also, don't forget to subscribe!

Yes there is a shuttle to downtown campus and it is free as long as you have your UCF Id with you 🤩 check the shuttle schedule on parking.UCF.edu 💛

Haha thanks so much! I appreciate it 💛🖤 it’s been a while since I’ve made a video. I have stuff filmed just haven’t been able to edit it together and stuff! Go knights! ⚔️

@@kathyxli24 Ooooh I’m excited 💛🖤 just subscribed, my FBI agent really knows me well since this showed up in my recommends

@@riannadouglas6887 oh haha gotta love those FBI agents through our phones 😂

Hi, this is a long overdue response but here is website for all the rates for on campus housing. As for off campus housing, there are a lot of different options to consider: www.housing.ucf.edu/costs/rates/

No way that's awesome! I think you should email admissions@ucf.edu or visit this site to learn more about credit transfers and transcripts: www.ucf.edu/admissions/undergraduate/question/how-can-i-find-out-what-credit-will-transfer-to-ucf/#:~:text=All%20incoming%20courses%20will%20be,as%20any%20associated%20UCF%20equivalencies.

My fingers are crossed for you though :)

I'm sure you'll do great! College is actually way better than high school in my opinion and I'm here if you have any questions :)

@@kathyxli24 I honestly have so many I am currently a senior at high school and Ive got so much in my mind.

@@seifissa503 yes you’ve told me before! I’m happy to answer them to the best of my ability 💛

@@kathyxli24 I just dont feel ready because what I want to study is a huge thing and I want to succeed and work at my dream jobs and Im just going through a lot of stuff

I got 1240 on my SATs so not the highest but I think that my extracurricular involvement is what got me into UCF because I played volleyball and was involved in many high school clubs.

@@kathyxli24 Can you give me some advice on what I should do, because I only have one more year left before graduation and ucf has been my dream school.

@@itzwhitney7632 yea of course! Let me know if you have any specific questions. As for advice, definitely work on figuring out what you want to do with your college experience; have confidence in yourself that UCF is where you're meant to be. It's easy to feel unsettled because college is a big step especially in the world we're in today, but as long as you believe UCF is your future, make that very apparent in your application and show admissions your potential :)

No all students can use UCF dining services! mostly students who are living on campus tend to use it since it’s more convenient for them. I had a meal plan for my freshman year and it was alright for the first semester but just make sure you know what plan you are getting
