One of the best schools I've ever seen.
Overall 4.9
I am a proud Spartan and will always be a proud Spartan! If I could do it again I would definitely go to the G again. I have had some of the most amazing experiences at UNCG. There are many student organizations, and support for students throughout campus, amazing professors, and great programs that prepare you for pre-professional programs.

Awesome School
Overall 4.5
I take pride in being a student at UNCG! I originally started out as a distance learner, but spent time on campus going to organized events and attending sporting events and decided to attend on-campus classes. I have enjoyed my time at the G so much that I will be staying to pursue my Master's degree. Go Spartans!

While the location isn't the best, downtown Greensboro has a nice variation of restaurants and breweries. In regards to the University, classes aren't too far apart, and the professors seem to really care about their students.

UNCG is great for any student looking to find themselves and connect to a diverse campus and city!
Overall 4.4
At this institution the sky is the limit; resources and staff are there 100%, but ultimately it's up to the students to take advantage of it. Campus involvement is huge. There's never a dull moment-- seek it, you'll find it. As for safety, it's generally safe-- just don't walk alone in the outside perimeter off campus. This happens at every campus!

Bad reviews

Worst school I have ever attended. DO NOT GO TO UNCG!
Overall 1.2
As soon as the first week started, I realized I made a huge mistake in coming here. Most of the professors are a pain to deal with. This place has a huge financial issue, but they keep wasting money on the dumbest stuff that no one will ever care for. Food isn't worth it, I would rather live off of McDonalds than that garbage. A lot of issues here.

Very sad place to be
Overall 1.5
Regardless of the person I’m talking to (regarding faculty members) lack the basic trait of common sense. Majority of the professors are Phd students, so if you are interested in receiving education from someone who doesn’t know how to teach this school is perfect. A lot of the classes don’t have any other time options- class is at 7:30 pm
Overall 1.5
Ever since my first semester at this terrible excuse for a higher education university I knew I had to transfer. The classes are terrible and I can say after 1 year and 10 teachers only 1 of them was a good human being. The place is in one of the most unsafe areas. The food is so bad it has had flies cooked in it and made countless people sick.
Overall 1.8
This place is the worst. People are so close-minded and do not make a single effort to make you feel welcome. One year was more than sufficient to realize I had to go somewhere else better.
Overall 2
This school lacks a challenging, learning environment that it needs to be a reputable school. Surrounding areas have high crime rates, outside of campus feels unsafe. Teachers are lazy, usually not very informative or helpful. The bright side of this school is the internet and the food around campus.
Overall 2
UNCG is very isolating if someone is not diverse. The professors are nice however, they do NOT know how to teach. The campus how had a student raped on campus as security is a huge issue that the school is NOT improving on. I am transferring back to the school that I had previously attended.
