I love this school. I love the city of Charlotte as well! The campus is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained. The places to eat are diverse and high quality. The everyday staff and professors are very friendly. The library is huge and very effective for studying. There are plenty of job opportunities and other opportunities to get involved on campus like greek life, clubs, SGA, and MANY other organizations. The campus is incredible diverse with the student body. This is an innovative and rapid expanding school that is great for making connections in the Charlotte area. I hate paying for an expensive parking pass, I hate having to pay for extra resources like you do at most universities (Books, supplies, software).
Review University of North Carolina at Charlotte
UNCC is literally home for me. People can say all they want about it being a "commuter" school, but there are thousands of students that live on campus. Not only that, but the professors (at least in my department) are fantastic. Absolutely amazing. They're intelligent, passionate, and actually want you to succeed. Greek life is growing as well, and being apart of UNCC's greek life has been a very rewarding experience for me. UNCC continues to grow bigger and better every year. Although our sport teams aren't the best, they're new and getting better. Although UNCC doesn't have a whole lot of tradition, WE are the students that get to start the traditions that will be marked as legends on this campus. Speaking of the campus, it's beautifully built. Some of the buildings can be frustrating when you can't find your class, but the campus is definitely up to par on it's looks. All the brick MATCHES!
Charlotte professors are wonderful, but each has their own way of teaching. From my experience so far all of my teacher are approachable and friendly. Some classes are very interactive, and others are chill. Some teacher will tell you exactly what to write down or even give you the notes, while others just straight lecture . For general ed classes ( lbst, maths,basic mandatory classes) have large classrooms. But the more you get into your major classes/pre-requisites, your classes get significantly smaller . They honestly have classes on almost anything you could imagine, and some you would never think of!
