\n\t\t\t\tWHY OPEN HOUSE MATTERS\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n

These are the experiences that made Open House for Admitted Students worth attending \u2014 and why you should join us.<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. We met real experts in my field.<\/strong> I loved hearing directly from professors and staff who answered my questions and helped me picture what academic life at UCF will actually be like.<\/li>\n
  2. I made friends before even starting.<\/strong> It was so easy to connect with other future Knights. We clicked over shared interests, and it already feels like I have people here.<\/li>\n
  3. We learned so much!<\/strong> The sessions broke everything down clearly and gave us practical tips for a smooth transition to UCF. I walked away feeling ready and confident.<\/li>\n
  4. It helped me realize this is where I belong!<\/strong> Being on campus, meeting people, and seeing everything up close really confirmed that UCF is the right fit for me.<\/li>\n
  5. The free swag was awesome!<\/strong> Between games, contests and Showcase giveaways, I left with a bag full of UCF merch… definitely a fun bonus to an already great day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

    You will choose your own sessions based upon the times they are offered. Many of our sessions do not repeat, and some even overlap, so you\u2019ll have to decide which sessions best suit your interests. While activities are scheduled through 3:00 p.m., we advise that you arrive early and stay for the entire event to make the most of your visit.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Yes! A limited number of campus tours are offered. Because there are so many activities for you to choose from, your tour may be shorter than a regular visit, but we\u2019ll squeeze as much information in as possible.<\/p>\n

    Housing tours are self-guided, giving you the flexibility to view only those communities that interest you. We\u2019ll post signs on campus directing you to our housing areas. Once you get there, a member of our housing staff will be on hand to answer questions and show you around. Not every housing community is open, but you\u2019ll be able to view a broad selection.<\/p>\n

    And finally, our guided tours do not include every corner of campus, but we encourage you explore during your free time or after the event concludes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

    There are a ton of great food options on and near the campus to get a drink or grab a bite.<\/p>\n

    Outside temperatures can be unpredictable, so be sure to bring a personal water bottle with you. Water filling stations are abundant on campus.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tSee Where to Eat On Campus\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

    Open Houses for Admitted Students offer more information about UCF\u2019s campus, programs, housing and student life than a regular visit to campus. The daily Campus Visit Experience is a 60-90 minute walking tour of the campus. Though a tour is included as part of our Open House events, it is a condensed version to allow guests to explore other parts of campus and attend additional information sessions. At an Admitted Student Open House, you will also learn about academics, student activities, housing, the Honors College and more, and you\u2019ll have more access to faculty, administrators and current UCF students.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

    Once you get to the main campus, park in Garage A (free of charge), then walk to the Student Union \u2014 there will be signs in place to help you find your way. Once inside, go to the Pegasus Ballroom. Our campus is a walking campus, so there is no transportation between the garage and the Student Union. Consult your confirmation for the event’s start time and arrive early to avoid waiting in line.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

    It\u2019s usually hot in Florida. Dress in layers to adjust to the changes in temperature from the heat outside to the air-conditioned buildings. There will be a lot of walking and Florida is sometimes rainy, so wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella \u2014 just in case. Shuttle service is not offered during Open House events.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\tView All FAQs<\/a>\n\t\t\t
