This allowed the UCF campus to be master-planned, as opposed to trying to jam a state university into an existing area. That's why UCF has the luxury of space and constant construction/improvement (Under Construction Forever) and that's why East Orlando is more of a college town than Temple Terrace. Literally everything surrounding UCF came after the university was already established.

This explains why the area around UCF is higher end while the area surrounding the South Florida campus is a bit... rougher.

For kicks, I looked up the number of pawn shops surrounding each school. I remember one of my good childhood friends went to South Florida and one of the very first things he shared with me about the area was how many pawn shops there were. Looks like things haven't changed.

And yet US News & World Report ranks USF 31 places higher than ucf. In fact, ucf is behind FIU! 03-lmfao

But they got purty buildings and a splash fountain and soon a lazy river 03-lmfao

While some universities strive to build lazy rivers, real research universities brag about the number of research buildings and a world class cancer center on its campus.

RE: USF reaches 1 billion in donations campaign
For anyone that is actually interested...

"Hillsborough AAF was built by the United States Army Air Forces about 1943 and its primary mission was to be an auxiliary airfield for both Drew and MacDill Army Airfields. It was assigned to the Third Air Force, III Fighter Command. Hillsborough Army Airfield had three runways (NE/SW, NW/SE & E/W) of about 5,200' in length and several hangars along the west side of the airfield.

The initial mission of Hillsborough was as a support and training overflow airfield; also being used for emergency landings of students assigned to the main bases. It also operated a school for administrative training of junior officers. The 42d Fighter Squadron was assigned to Hillsborough on 10 May 1943, equipped with P-51 Mustangs. The 42d was detached from Bartow Army Airfield. With advanced combat fighter pilot training being moved out of Drew Field, it was moved to Hillsborough. The base normally had about 28 airplanes at the field at one time.

In an administrative reorganization by HQ Army Air Force, on 1 May 1944, numbered training units in the Zone of the Interior (ZI) (Continental United States) were re-designated as "Army Air Force Base Units". The 42d was re-designated as "Section T, 343d Army Air Forces Base Unit Replacement Training Unit, Fighter. In June 1944, two more squadrons of P-51s were assigned, "S" and "FT".

On 10 May 1945, training was ended at the base, and the 343d AAFBU was discontinued. Personnel and equipment were reassigned to IV Fighter Command, 473d AAFBU and transferred to Porterville Army Airfield, California. The base was officially closed on 23 May and transferred to Air Technical Service Command for disposal.

After World War II, Hillsborough was reused as a civilian airport, known as Henderson Airport, however it was closed in the late 1950s.

The University of South Florida campus began construction in 1957 on a site adjacent to the north side of Henderson Airport, and the Busch Gardens theme park was opened in 1959 just south of the airport. The surviving runways are used as a driver training area by Busch Gardens to instruct new drivers on some of their vehicles.

Today the airfield is all but unrecognizable in the urbanized area of Tampa, however the center of the airport, with two cris-crossing runways in an X shape, is visible from satellite images. The Tampa Bay regional headquarters of the Florida Department of Transportation building is located on the site of the northeastern runway. Mel's Hot Dogs, a popular Tampa eatery, states on its website that it occupies the last remaining structure from the World War II army air base."

This was part of the inspiration for these...

Staying out of this other than to say, Mel's Hot Dogs should be on a bucket list of places to eat at in Tampa. It's certainly nothing special to see, but a Mighty Mel puts Portillo's to shame (which pisses me off since Portillo's is now a popular place to go even though their hot dogs don't hold a candle to Mel's).

It's even worse - he just didn't even search for pawn shops! Here's an identical scale to the one he used for USF, only actually searching for pawn shops:

Turns out International Pawn and Jewelry is conveniently located 2 miles from UCF's campus.

Kind of shoots a gaping hole in St. H. Gink's credibility, unless the H stands for Hypocrite.

Actually, UCF is well ahead of FIU. But I question all of those rankings when FAMU is ranked above FIU among many other universities.

This allowed the UCF campus to be master-planned, as opposed to trying to jam a state university into an existing area. That's why UCF has the luxury of space and constant construction/improvement (Under Construction Forever) and that's why East Orlando is more of a college town than Temple Terrace. Literally everything surrounding UCF came after the university was already established.

This explains why the area around UCF is higher end while the area surrounding the South Florida campus is a bit... rougher.

For kicks, I looked up the number of pawn shops surrounding each school. I remember one of my good childhood friends went to South Florida and one of the very first things he shared with me about the area was how many pawn shops there were. Looks like things haven't changed.

And yet US News & World Report ranks USF 31 places higher than ucf. In fact, ucf is behind FIU! 03-lmfao

And USF is behind FIU in campus facilities

Actually, UCF is well ahead of FIU. But I question all of those rankings when FAMU is ranked above FIU among many other universities.

Have source/link for facility rankings?
Or is that a kid-like hissy fit?

As far as academics/research, it's easily searchable/verifiable:

https://www.topuniversities.com/universi...es-us-2018
USF - 94
UCF - 125

US News & World Reports
https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/ran...me=florida
USF - 140
UCF - 171

http://www.shanghairanking.com/World-Uni...7/USA.html
USF -71-99
UCF - 100-119

https://www.timeshighereducation.com/stu...ted-states
USF - 72
UCF - Not ranked

Endowment:
USF - $417M
FAU - $275M
FIU - $177M
UCF - $146M
RIP ucf
