Hi, I'm considering applying to the University of Central Florida and I'm wondering about the cost of on-campus housing. Can anyone give me a general idea of what to expect in terms of housing expenses? What types of housing options do they offer? Thanks in advance!
Hi there! The University of Central Florida (UCF) offers a variety of on-campus housing options, so the cost will depend on your preferences and which housing community you choose. In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from around $2,300 to $4,000 per semester for on-campus housing, which typically includes utilities, cable TV, and internet.
UCF has several housing communities which offer different accommodation styles ranging from traditional dorms to apartment-style living. Here's a brief overview:
1. Towers at Knights Plaza: Consist of four apartment-style buildings that house upperclassmen, transfer students, and graduate students. They offer 4-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 1-bedroom options, all with private bathrooms. These options tend to be on the higher end in terms of price.
2. NorthView: Apartment-style living also targeted at upperclassmen, transfer, and graduate students. Units are fully furnished and offer private bedrooms with shared living spaces.
3. Neptune Community: Designed for sophomores and above, this community offers apartment-style housing with 4-bedroom, 2-bath units, with mostly single-occupancy rooms.
4. Hercules & Nike Communities: These communities are geared towards freshmen but are open to all students. They offer traditional dorm-style housing with shared community bathrooms as well as some suite-style units.
5. Libra & Apollo Communities: Freshmen-focused communities that provide traditional dorm-style living with shared community bathrooms.
Remember that there are additional costs beyond just the housing fees, such as a meal plan if you choose to enroll in one. To get a better idea of the costs for specific housing options at UCF, visit their housing website, and use their rate sheets and compare housing options. Also keep in mind that these costs are subject to change, so it's essential to double-check with the housing office or look at the most recent rate information on the UCF website when making your decision.
