"UNCG was very instrumental in helping me to pursue my nursing career. The financial aid resources that were offered at UNCG are one of the main reasons I was able to finish and graduate with my degree in four years. The nursing program at UNCG is phenomenal for excellence in clinical practice and education in the Piedmont Triad area."

"UNCG is a campus you visit, enjoy, and stay. From its excellent professors and staff that make academics and the university beautiful, to its diverse students, programs, clubs, and social life surrounding the campus, a student will always feel at home."

"UNCG's Dept of Public Health Education offers an excellent Masters level degree. Unfortunately, I was a part-time student, and the professors understandably focused their interest and efforts on full-time students. The upshot of this was that i had no post-degree support in finding a career in my chosen field at all. I STRONGLY recommend taking the full-time approach to receive the full benefits the dedicated and brilliant professors offer. There is a lot of passion in this program for social justice and the betterment of the human condition."

"The program offers a unique opportunity for a diverse experience. The faculty is willing to help students with course work, grades, and professional development. At times the program is disorganized when it comes to registration, assignment guidelines, due dates, etc."

"One of only 3 MLIS programs in the state of NC. Very affordable, highly competitive program. Cutting-edge technology. Has online, on-campus, and hybrid options for local residents, commuters, and distance attendants alike. Great school!"

"UNC at Greensboro offers you a world of diversity.. fun.. entertainment and a quality of education that you will cherish forever. Our school is pretty big but if you are looking for smaller classes you are likely to have 1 to 4 classes that are not past 25 students. Also, if you are looking for competitiveness you will find it here, if not you can matriculate at your own pace without feeling the stress of trying to always stay at the top. At UNCG we take our studies seriously but we also know how to have fun and relax and enjoy life. BE A SPARTAN! You'll never regret it."

"Tell us about your college experience.It was good. I stayed on campus for awhile and then off campus. It was reasonably priced and has a good local reputation.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?I dont know if i would choose psych. again because i ended up in business. Also, i think something more specific is useful today. Back then just having a degree was good enough. Now there's more competition.What advice can you offer other students?Figure out what you want to do and stick with it. Persevere because a college degree can be very helpful in life."

"Tell us about your college experience.I went to a liberal arts university in the state system, which was a good idea for someone wanting to major in English. But in retrospect, I wish I had looked at a more career-oriented major, particularly journalism. The education I received was top-notch and intellectually satisfying, but impractical in the workforce.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?No, I would choose Journalism.What advice can you offer other students?Think seriously about your major. Think about what you want to spend some time doing."

"The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is a great and beautiful school. The teachers are wonderful, always ready to help students achieve their academic goals. It has a really good name, making it easier for students to find good jobs once they graduate. However, there are not enough financial aid available for international students and limited tuition payment plans."

"The best thing about university were the latent benefits. That is, I went to classes and acquired the knowledge there, but I could've gotten as much from a community college (and more practical-application classes, at that); the friendships, scholarly and professional connections I formed, and the improvements I made as a social creature were all much greater benefits than the classes. I would have begun at a community college for 2 years and transferred. I would have chosen a double-major, pairing art with business or computer science. I would've studied abroad for a semester or a year. This all may have ended with my being in higher education for 6 years, but the cost would've been somewhat lower, and the practical-application classes and additional major likely would have gotten me into my current job 5 years sooner. If you get refund checks from your financial aid, use them to pay down the principal on the loan. Seriously. Study abroad. Be willing to stay more than 4 years; be willing to cram to get done in 3. Always be doing something that is practical and will help you land a job - internships, requests for mentoring from professors, volunteering."

"The Faculty is committed to helping each individual find their niche in their personal career development. They do a great job of helping to direct you in the areas that your interests most line up with study material. This makes the coursework more than academia - much more engaging and worthwhile."

"I could not say enough good about this school. The advisers, instructors, financial aid counselors and students were great to work with. The course content was exceptional. The instructors were involved and always available to help with questions or concerns. I found the flexibility of the classes to be quite convenient. The advisers were always very helpful and helped steer me on the right path with each semester to ensure I was taking the appropriate courses for the career path I wanted to be on. If you are looking for an online program that is engaging and relevant, this is the Masters program for you."
