Review of University of North Carolina at Charlotte
from Winston-Salem, NC
Describe your college in three sentences.
It is a great school that has something for everyone. The teachers make a point to be available as often as possible and to learn the students names in their classes (even if they are large classes). The campus is beautiful and makes you feel at home.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take the SAT multiple times because the different programs look at that and it can save you from having to take other tests to get into a particular program. Make sure you look at who the teachers are before you register for their classes because some of them do not like what they teach so they make the course impossible. Get involved on campus
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes can be hard but the outcome is tremendous. Plus the teachers do everything in their power to make sure that you pass their course, because they will work with your schedule so that they can meet with you to help. If you work hard you will succeed, but if you slack off and skip class you will have trouble.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The suite style living is better than highrises because the highrises are constantly loud and have problems almost every night. The suite style also allows you to make closer friends because you aren't in a large hall you are in a smaller community.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is great and there is something for everyone to eat. Lots of fast food places to grab a quick meal and then get on with your day. There is mexican, subs, pasta/pizza, wendy's, chickfila, hot dog place, etc. But if you want something healthier you can go to the two dining halls that have home cooked meals, but they are not very good and it is the same every single day of the week.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Something is always going on, on campus you just have to be willing to get involved. There are hundreds of clubs to choose from and several sports teams (including club/intramural). Football will be coming fall of 2013
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
you pay a high tuition but it makes things on campus free to students. Library access, doctor visits, sports tickets, and more
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
the student union is the main focus of the campus, there is something always going on there, especially around the holidays.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
students who want to get involved. students who like a strong academic community but also have time for sports. students who want to experience the city without being in the city.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
hundreds of clubs to choose from, something for everyone. lots of club sports for both men and women. intramural sports that are going on year around. concerts. zombies vs humans. never a dull moment on this campus
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
there are a lot of options if you want to be involved in the greek life. there are also certain groups that all have the same common interest, whether it is major or based on personality. you will always find a place to fit in
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There are campus police that respond within a minute of the call. there are emergency buttons throughout campus that connect you to the campus police. shuttles for students with handicaps and at night they drop you off where ever you need to be. escorts are available if you do not want to walk alone at night
