The University of Central Florida: A Leading Research University<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Space informs our theme\nat The Celeste, as you might gather from our name alone. That final frontier\nalso comes tightly woven into the story of UCF, established in part to train\nprofessionals for NASA\u2019s space program. Orlando\u2019s proximity to the Space Coast\nof central Florida\u2019s Atlantic shore made it an ideal location for a research\nuniversity, one of the country\u2019s space-grant colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UCF opened its doors\n(initially as Florida Technological University) in 1968. Now enrolling more\nthan 70,000 students, it\u2019s grown into Florida\u2019s largest university, and ranks\namong the biggest in the U.S. \u201cReach for the Stars\u201d is the institution\u2019s apt\nmotto, and the constellation Pegasus\u2014the Winged Horse\u2014forms its logo. UCF now\noffers 225 degree programs and awards close to 17,000 degrees each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside undergraduate\nand graduate education and groundbreaking research, athletics are a major part\nof UCF. The UCF Knights include football, basketball, baseball, softball,\ntennis, soccer, track-and-field, and more, and boast quite the formidable\ncollective record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit UCF With a Luxury Stay at The Celeste<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re thrilled to begin\noffering Tribute Portfolio accommodations on the UCF campus.
