REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingGreat Teachers (only one crazy teacher yet haha) and in addition to great courses I have had many so many life changes experiences I really couldn't explain in this box
Javier from High Point, NC
When you attend the University of North Carolina Greensboro, the first thing that will strike you is the beautiful campus. The second thing is the immense amount of knowledge and care the professors share with the students. UNCG is lucky to have such an amazing staff and excel in educating many fields. The Nursing, Education, and Business programs are especially strong. It is ranked in the Forbes Best 600 Universites in America.
Michael from Summerfield, NC
The professors are great. I have not had a class Ive hated. The Classical Studies department is excellent. Never a dull moment with those professors. Professors are usually very understanding to those who are actively trying in the class. They will help you when you ask. If students are having trouble with a class there are free tutoring, a speaking center, writing center and a 24/7 library all on campus. Help is always at you finger tips. You just have to ask.
Brittany from Welcome, NC
UNC Greensboro is a very diverse school in a positive light. Because this school is so diverse, I have so many more opportunities I feel open to exploring rather than feeling the pressure of needing to be a part of something. Being a UNCG Spartan has widened my future and given me above excellent education to carry me through to beginning my career!
Charlene from Colfax, NC
In all of my classes thus far, there has been at least one thing I have been able to pull out from my classes and carry with me to apply to real world situations. In the classroom, the professors strive to ensure that their students understand the material being taught.
Hannah from Durham, NC
Due to the helpful orientation staff, my freshman year of college managed to be a great transition from high school. They were quite friendly, approachable, and genuinely there to help with any questions or concerns for the incoming freshman. Personally, I am entering my final year of undergraduate school and I am still in love with the beauty and the diversity of this campus.
Shantell
Being part of the Grogan College Living Learning community, I have learned a lot about my major with my fellow classmates. There are many different living communities available at UNCG that a student may apply for if they do desire. I highly recommend being in one as it is a great way to meet people within your major, build strong relationships with them, and even tons of educational help from your fellow classmates.
Christian from Fayetteville, NC
Great school of Music, definitely the best public music institution in the state and region. High caliber teachers, fresh facilities.
Ian from Durham, NC
My professors have the most interesting teaching styles that really make the information stick with you. They are great at responding to emails and always have to time to help.
Kiri from Jefferson, MD
The professors are so nice, and really want to help you learn.
