The faculty are friendly and more than willing to offer help. They seem like they really want to get to know the students. Many of the faculty are also very well educated and really make an effort to teach the material in a way that is understandable for all students. Another cool thing about the faculty is that they don't pretend that they don't know what students do during their free time like many professors do.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The campus is located in a great city, and there is always something to do on and around campus. The students are all friendly and are willing to help if you ask. It's always nice to be able to go to the beach after class for a tan. Although there is some diversity at UNCW, but a great majority of the students seem to be white surfer girls/guys.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Tuition is VERY cheap for in-state compared to many other options. The summer school tuition prices are also very reasonable for those students who want to take summer credits. The campus entertainment organizations are always playing a movie in the theater or having some kind of comedy or drama act, and it is usually either free or just a couple dollars to attend, so that is definitely a plus.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get ready for the heat. Definitely don't expect to skip classes and be able to get by...it wont work. Don't assume UNCW is just a party school and you wont have to work hard because you'll end of failing out within a semester. Finally, bring your swimsuit because the beach is where its at.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Surfers or hippies. Anyone who is laid back but willing to work hard to get their degree.
