What I like about the University of North Carolina at Pembroke is mainly the faculty and staff, small-sized classes, simple campus and in-state tuition cost. The majority of the faculty and staff are very caring and want the student to succeed. They can help with almost anything the students need. The small-sized classes create almost a homely environment to the student, comforting, and close attention with the instructor to be focused and prepared for studies. The campus is easy to get around, almost anything is near by--whether it is food, a place to hang or to study. Lastly, the cost is acceptable; affordable compared to other institutions for in-state tuition. However, what I would like to see change is perhaps the concept most people have with diversity and inclusion. There should be a more accepting environment to all types of people, this is an educational institution and everyone should be treated fairly, and respectably.
Review University of North Carolina at Pembroke
The sport most attended is definitely basketball by locals, alumni, and students! Though overall our school spirit is subpar and could definitely be better. Also being a student athlete my sport track and field is hugely underappreciated. The one thing the school needs to work on is advertising diffenet athletic events better and maybe the school spirit would go up.
UNCP has a small-college feel with connections to a larger university system. The campus is expanding and growing larger, but the personal touch that you receive as a student hasn't changed. The professors learn your names, as class sizes cap at about 30 for popular general education courses. You feel a connection to your classes, your campus, and the community. There isn't much to do outside of the campus activities, but there are plenty of ways to get involved on campus and to volunteer in the community. The rich history of the Lumbee tribe is proudly displayed, and UNCP is home to the Museum of the Southeast Indian, which features artifacts, art, and cultural programs on the Lumbee tribe as well as other tribes living in the American Southeast.

UNCP is a great place to get a solid and personal education.
