REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingAll of the teachers have office hours which enable the students to get extra time if something does not click in class. Not many colleges can guarantee this 1 on 1 time.
Emily from Fayetteville, NC
I have family that go to UNCP and they say that the learning environment is great!!
Angela from Pembroke, NC
The teachers at UNCP are very dedicated to their students. In a typical classroom on the UNC-Pembroke campus , you will find maybe twenty students or less to one teacher, meaning that you will get more teacher to student interaction. The teachers also provide office hours , where students can walk in and talk about problems and concerns. This is a great way to get extra help in subject that you are struggling and this is the perfect opportunity to get to know your teacher, in my opinion., the more interaction time with your professors,the easier college will be.
lauren from Mebane, NC
I absolutely love going to class, because I know the professors are willing to take the time to make sure I learn the material and retain it, by using teaching methods that relate to students who learn from visual aids, by reading or writing, by hearing, and by doing. The professors balance each lecture so that no matter which way a student learns best, the lecture is guaranteed to be processed the right way.
Stacy from Barnegat, NJ
The teachers here are very helpful. They urge you to ask questions and make sure they answer the questions in detail.
Jamal from Fayetteville, NC
The campus is very easy to navigate and has a great staff of helpful people wanting to help you succeed. The local food and coffee shops are great and reasonably priced. Many of the students here are very open minded and kind as well.
Dakota from Cheraw, SC
Great, small town feel. Laid back and relaxed envinorment. Very nice staff and adminastration.
Caramon from Hendersonville, NC
UNCP was not my first choice but I absolutely love it. Pembroke is a very great school that is willing to help you to the best of their abilities. With the small campus and classes, you get so much engagement with the teachers and students and that is what makes the experience of education the best.
Amanda from Raleigh, NC
UNC Pembroke is nestled in a rural corner of the state, steeped in Native American culture, diverse in its attendees, and blessed with an excellent faculty.
