Great place!

I went here for two years for a graduate degree. I loved this school. The campus was beautiful and the location was awesome. Living in a coastal city was such a great experience. The academics were good, and I learned the importance of becoming a self-starter and your own best advocate. Highly recommend. Forever appreciative! Seahawks let's ride!

It is the best location of any school I know of besides Florida schools, the beach is so close and so nice. Such welcoming people around campus and on the island. Great restaurants, bars, and places to entertain yourself around the city.

I love UNCW this school is so awesome; you go here to get a degree and join elite likeminded people to achieve the goal of success. They also have numerous events for students! They have a great Study abroad program and they also have a lot of club's students can join to feel welcomed and accepted. Several internships! Overall Great University!!

The school is constantly improving itself. There are lots of vegetarian and vegan options, plus options for those with allergies and more. Every professor I have had has been passionate about their job and wants students to succeed. It feels like the school really cares about making campus a safe, inclusive, and educational place for students.

No advisors, they just have the professors do it. Not their fault but, don't expect any advisement. Everyone is orange and blonde and there is not one ounce of anyone who is genuine on campus. Wouldn't send my worst enemy here. All the school cares about is money. 400$ to park 25 min away from your class.
Overall 1.2
Don't go here unless you want to be unhappy for 4 years of your life. This school has great professors, but other than that, this school will screw you over every single day of your life then have the audacity to call ask for more money. They do not care about their students or their wellbeing. Biggest regret I have had in my life thus far.
Overall 1.3
Terrible, incompetent advisors and professors. They change up the degree requirements without telling you, they don't prepare you for your career at all, its high school 2.0. they dont care about you at all.
