"For music, UNC Charlotte was a great fit for my needs. The campus is beautiful and with the campus so close to other cultural centers and amenities, I was never bored. The addition of the light-rail is an even bigger plus. The professors were very helpful. A plus."

"UNC Charlotte is what you make of it. It is a first-choice school for many local students of engineering, computer science, and nursing, but it provided me an excellent education in something completely unrelated: International Studies and German. A little-known fact about the university is that it hires many skilled instructors of foreign languages and offers an impressive array of them. There are also many opportunities to study abroad and scholarships to help students do so. While catering mostly to students from the surrounding area, there is also a surprisingly substantial international population, which makes for an interesting and diverse student body. However, it takes a bit more effort than normal to seek out a friend group, as the school is notoriously comprised of commuter students still living with their parents. Campus turns into a ghost town on weekends. Ironically, I made hardly any friends until I moved out of the dorm and into an off-campus apartment. The university does recognize this, though, and is making efforts to build a greater sense of community among the students. Despite this drawback, I received a quality education and memorable experience at UNC Charlotte."

"I adored the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The environment, diversity, and program options were excellent. I actually enjoyed going to classes every day. There were a great variety of courses and topics you could choose to take. Registration was a little tricky, you had to have everything planned out and register as soon as your assigned time began."

"My experience at UNCC was very rewarding. Every professor I had encouraged me to expand my knowledge and think outside the box. I received this treated with professors in my major Psychology and my two minors, Dance and Biology. Specifically, one of my professors in the dance department encouraged me to study abroad with her and other students in Italy one summer. It was extremely eye opening and I cannot thank her enough for supporting my dreams and always pursuing me to expand my education in unique ways! The years I spent at UNCC helped me become a cultured, creative, and professional adult!"

"The program is in need of tweaking to meet all expectations. A few true educational leaders serve as professors and several on the downside of their careers. The cohort model is beneficial, the campus is a highlight, and the workload is manageable. The rigor was less than expected in some courses and often seemed task oriented. If you can harness the energy to ask the questions that are meaningful and have classmates who will engage, you will enjoy 85% of your time. The other 15% is like a trip to the dentist."

  • Degree: International Business
"I would recommend UNC Charlotte for anyone who is looking to receive a degree in Business. The Belk College of Business had challenging, but effective courses. I graduated with a bachelor of international business and minor in Italian. I was able to study abroad for a semester in Italy and graduate on time. During orientation you are given a guide to what classes you need to take each semester to stay on course. Every semester I met with my counselor to see if I was heading in the right direction. This is what set me apart from students who had trouble getting into the classes. I would recommend looking up all classes and professors before you enroll. Business is not for everyone, so you need to be willing to put in hard work. My favorite class was Business Practices and Policies. This class consisted of real life examples of business conflicts and learning the strategies to solve imperative issues in todays work place. Each week the class would be separated into groups and were given different debates. This was the most beneficial part of my education as it forced students into thinking outside of their own opinions. I have used this skill in the work place post graduation. I left UNCC with a job offer in New Jersey an international importer. UNC Charlotte gave me the tools to further pursue my education. I will be attending graduate school for a Masters of International Business in London."

"My college is an interesting one. I believe the college has great potential in that it hires excellent staff and faculty. Although, I would like to see more staff and faculty from all over the nation and with working backgrounds to give students real world knowledge and experience. I would however enjoy school more if some of the attention were focused on the graduate students. Graduate students are the bread and butter of the school, they determine how good the school is by what type of employment students get upon graduating. I feel vitally ignored as a lot of services for student success is offered during the day even though I am only allowed to take courses in the evenings. If graduate students are working during the day and then attending classes at night they cannot take advantage of services that the school offers simply because it is not available to them."

"UNC Charlotte prepared me for law school. The school is a robust urban research university that could really use the shedding of its commuter school image. Campus is beautiful and there are lots of activities - organized and otherwise - to do during the week and on the weekend. I got a good education with professors who cared and prepared me for law school."
