Oct 10, 2017

 

Established in 1957, the College of Central Florida is a small public state college with approximately 8,700 students. Students from all over the world choose to study at the College of Central Florida for its great degree programs and location. In fact, there are students from 29 different countries currently enrolled at the college. Here is more on the College of Central Florida.

 

Get to know the area: The College of Central Florida is located in Ocala, Florida, a city full of exciting attractions, including shopping malls, movie theatres and museums. The Appleton Museum of Art is an award-winning museum in downtown Ocala, with approximately 18,000 European, American, Asian, African, Contemporary and pre-Columbian pieces of art and artifacts in its exhibits. If you enjoy the outdoors, Ocala also has several natural trails and parks to explore throughout the city.

 

Join a club: On campus, students have plenty of opportunities to get involved outside of the classroom. Many students choose to join student organizations and clubs to further pursue their interests and network with other students on campus. These clubs focus on subjects including academics, diversity, politics, sports and more.

 

Catch a game: Students can also cheer on the College of Central Florida’s athletic teams, known as the Patriots, throughout the year. The Patriots compete in multiple sports, including baseball, softball, basketball and volleyball. The games take place on campus, giving students easy access to their favorite teams all season long.

 

Earning your degree: Students attending the College of Central Florida have multiple degree programs to choose from, including nursing and childhood education. The business and organizational management program is very popular among students, who have the option to specialize in health care management, logistics and supply chain management and more. Also, with smaller class sizes, students have the opportunity to establish great relationships with professors through more personal interaction.

 

Moving In: The College of Central Florida does not offer on-campus housing, so all students live off campus. When searching for a place to live, many students rely on ApartmentSearch.com. The website allows students to search for an apartment based on distance from the campus location, while also showing the cost of living, local restaurants, the length of your commute and more. If your apartment is unfurnished, furniture rental is an economical and convenient way to furnish your home. CORT, the leading provider of furniture rental in the U.S., furnishes thousands of student apartments with everything from beds and sofas to housewares and electronics – all with affordable rental package options.
 

There is a lot to consider when choosing a school to pursue a degree. If you are looking for a school in an exciting area with a smaller student body, the College of Central Florida may be the perfect fit for you. If you’d like to learn more, take the time to explore their website to see all the college offers!
