Commentary Brainstorm, Explanations, and Questions

1) 1- Propaganda on UCF campus.

2) 2-Shortness in quantity of UCF shuttle routes.

3) 3-Lack of holidays in Fall semesters.

Getting through the student union is a task in itself. “Do you have five minutes to help homeless people?” This was the question I was asked today. I have been asked questions like this on most of the occasions on which I have passed through the union. Whether it is a cause, flyers for a bar, or propaganda for anything else, there is always someone promoting something outside the union. With the union being central to campus, a lot of us pass it daily to get to our different classes. Many times in a rush, we wish we wouldn’t have to deal with these promoters and ralliers.

Arden Villas: A UCF student-based community, yet no shuttle. UCF’s lack of shuttle routes and shuttle consistency makes getting to class for the more environmentally friendly, or even those who just want to save some cash on gas and a parking decal, a hassle. An addition of routes that are street and not neighborhood based would go a long ways to allowing some students to simply walk to the nearest bus route.

Fall semester: my worst nightmare. With thanksgiving being the closest we have to a spring break in the fall, many students begin to feel the fatigue of school way before finals time. If UCF implemented maybe two or three more holidays, students could rest adequately and become more productive. As a matter of fact, two or three days geared towards something like take your dad to school day or other activities would also allow for a light hearted good time, and thus rest.

Five Questions:

1- 1- Why is there a need for a fall brrak?

2- 2- How would a fall break affect student learning?

3- 3- What consequences does a lack of a fall break cause?

4- 4- How could a fall break improve student life?

5- 5- What should UCF do about a fall break?
