University of North Carolina at Pembroke — Attraction in Pembroke

A horrible college. I cant believe this place is even a University. The cafeteria is filled with roaches and the ones with authority to do something about it could care less. The parking is setup in a way that if you drive and park your getting a ticket. The classrooms and offices are filled with mold and they have known for years only to do nothing about it. Walk around the campus and all you smell is gas which I know for sure is a health hazard. Drug, robberies,assault and rape alerts go out almost daily. The parking lots flood when it rains to which there are no signs visible warning you. Bursar and financial aid office's are almost obsolete with some of the most hateful lost and smart mouth people working there I have ever seen. The facilities department and their tools are so outdated compared to other campuses in the area that it makes you think the management is lost and misappropriation of funds is a must with them, that is how they are in the bind they are in. NO LEADERSHIP AT ALL HERE in FACILITIES. Last but not least the Chancellor. I mean this guy thinks he is a superstar. Which i dont blame him cause the employees treats him as so and that is waaaaaaay better that those poor students get treated. All in all avoid this place and find better. So many better Universities in the area. If you dont take me at my word just read the other reviews on here im not the only one that gave...

You get what you pay for at this institution. I applied for the MBA program after speaking with I assume was an admissions specialist. The gentleman was extremely professional and I have nothing but positive things to say about him. He told me the GMAT waiver was the last thing to be waived but I should here back with a week or so. I waited and waited until he eventually told me to call graduate admissions who after I called then they applied the waiver. I got accepted (yay but not really), I get my financial aid award letter and also was utilizing my educational stipend I have available. I get a call Friday saying if my balance is not paid by 12 then I would be dropped from my classes, yet I’m staring at my award letter as well as the confirmation that this institution accepted my educational stipend to pay for my classes. Yet they said I had to pay the expenses out of pocket or my class would be dropped. The gentleman I spoke with earlier had no answer and said I could reenroll in January. I am not going to reenroll and I would not recommend this institution to anyone looking to further their education. Spend a few more dollars and go somewhere that will be...

Out of state students and parents beware. The fin aid office will have your freshman stressed and wanting to transfer by the end of the semester. BEWARE, do not transfer after the 1st semester bc fin aid will not award you the proper entitlement for the semester your child completed and leave them with a debt that hinders your students ability to transfer. The fin aid dept does NOT deliver on their promise to properly inform your student on policies and guidelines. There are no public forms of transportation. My daughter was unable to get an Uber or Lyft to the local Walmart when she was ill. She had to walk to the local Food Lion when sick with a fever and almost passed out trying to return to her dorm. The clinic is closed on the weekends and the university bus that commutes to the local Walmart is always full in capacity. Forget calling a cab or taxi as their isn't a company that services the Pembroke area. My daughter experienced a lot stress and depression while attending ONE semester at UNCP and $3500 in debt. Thank you UNCP. Parents dont believe the hype. Out of state students PLEASE choose a...
