The University of Central Florida (UCF), a public university
in Orlando with over 54,000 undergraduates, is the country’s second-largest
university. The main campus, on more than 1400 acres, seemed overwhelming when
we first arrived on campus, but once we understood the school layout, it was
much more manageable. Most of the buildings are laid out in circles with the
Student Union in the center.
