I looked at several colleges before choosing UNCW and I can say it is the best decision that I could have made. Student to Teacher ratio is better than average making it easier to get assistance from an instructor when needed. I am a Chemistry major and of course my classes are going to be difficult, but if I begin to struggle in an area, I know that there are always open labs and teacher aides to offer me extra guidance. Free Help is always available upon request.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love the coast and being 5 minutes away from the beautiful beach makes this school even better. It's great after being in class, heading down to the beach for some relaxation and quite study time - Who could ask for more.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The cost to attend this school is cheaper than schools closer to my home and the Admissions Department really go out of their way in finding financial aide to assist my tuition.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be involved from Day 1, do not sit back and hope to make friends - make it happen. Homesickness is a common problem among freshmen and I even experienced it myself. I got involved with every club that I could fit into my schedule and became so busy with organizations and meeting others that soon it became very clear that I am a True Teal Sea Hawk (Our Mascot and school color by the way) and I am determined to graduate with High Honors.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are seeking to get a Chemistry Major, I recommend this school. I cannot begin to tell you how much I have learned just this past semester. The Instructors help their students to grasp what they are teaching and offer so much extra help it is unreal. I will be taking the MCAP next year and feel comfortable that I will place high enough because of the instruction that I have had these last 2 years.
