Although I've only been attending for a semester, I really enjoyed the professors here. Colleges employ professors to earn a reputation for the school with their research. Many schools don't even care about the teaching; as long as the teacher's research is getting the school recognized, the teacher is left alone. At UNCW, the students are required to submit evaluations of the professor. In my opinion, this keeps the teachers on track. Each professor made it easy to approach them about questions I had, either by office hours or emails. This ensures learning because it is easy to learn from such great professors.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The atmosphere of this school is absolutely fantastic. When I step on the campus I feel an immediate sense of community, which is really important to me. I enjoy all of the facilities provided, especially the dining halls and the rec center. They really do a good job keeping up with the landscaping and the aesthetics. It's a great place to be.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Apparently this is one of the cheapest in state schools to go to, but you would never know. They do a wonderful job using your tuition money wisely, especially with the economy these days.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would say get involved early. It's a wonderful experience to feel connected with my school community by being a part of clubs. Take advantage of all the opportunity at UNCW, but at the same time academics are crucial. That is above and beyond the most important part of going to college. Start early with you studying; halfway through the semester is not the time to decide that you want to start studying.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are a social, laid back person then UNCW is for you. The people here are absolutely wonderful. They are so easy to get along with and are always eager to make new friends.
