Amazing choice of an university! It's very diverse and full of different opportunities. It's such an amazing experience learning about the Indian culture. Also, Pembroke brings attention to a variety of cultures, if it's not eating Chicken lo mein in the cafe or having African night in Moore Hall. I wouldn't recommend any other college! Love it!
Review University of North Carolina at Pembroke
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.
My college experience at Pembroke has been full of fulfilling moments that have allowed me to find my better self. The campus is diverse and the teachers urge students to find our likes and differences as they are our strengths. Knowing where we all are going as a collective student body has empowered myself to step out of my comfort zone and connect with other people and identify with them. That teaching alone has brought me many friends that I will be able to confide in as the years press on. The staff is pressing, challenging and forthcoming in their expectations that I value highly.
