Undergraduate / "College was the best time of my life." -UCF APPLICATION ESSAY [3]

Will someone please review this for me? It's sort of a rough draft.

Why did you choose to apply to UCF?

Throughout my life, I have often heard people say, "College was the best time of my life." I have always known that I want to experience the academic and social aspects that a university has to offer; however, I wasn't sure where I wanted to attend. I came across the University of Central Florida and I was immediately interested in everything it has to offer. The journalism program is just what I'm looking for because of the many opportunities and hands on experiences it presents. Next, the size of the university is beneficial because of the diversity; I will be able to meet people with different personalities, beliefs, and ethnic backgrounds. Another reason I chose UCF is because of the location. I like the energy and vibrancy of the Orlando community. The location also seems to present many job opportunities and internships for students. Finally, I spoke to a family friend who went to UCF; she spoke highly of the curriculum, professors, campus life, and sporting events. All in all, there are many reasons why I chose UCF.
