UCF – 194,733 Served*

UCF is the now the biggest university in Florida and the third largest in the country. From President Hitt:

Growth is a part of who we are at the University of Central Florida. Growth, and the change that comes with it, is woven into our university’s DNA.

Ask our students why they came to UCF. It isn’t to stay the same. They came here to grow, to change and to better themselves.

Our university embraces the opportunities and challenges that come with strategic growth, and we welcome students who share our passion for improvement.

As a reader points out:

An atrocious example of equivocation:
growth = improvement
growth = getting bigger

By this logic, my weight has "improved" because I put on 10 pounds! Now I can embrace the opportunity to buy bigger pants and the challenges of heart disease and diabetes!
