University of North Carolina Wilmington — Attraction in Wilmington

Suuuuper cheap school cut corners everywhere and charge students for everything they can. Can't wait to transfer out of here next semester. Doesn't bother me when the charge us for printing and charge us obscene amounts for on campus living and food but when it starts affecting my education is when i get pissed. My current Teacher assistant for my Chemistry 102 class is a undergraduate student who is probably only a few classes ahead of me, im constantly correcting her during our supplemental instruction sessions, they could pay a grad student who knows his/her stuff but that would cost them an extra $40 a week so no way. UNCW is known for their biology, chemistry, and physical oceanography departments but their facilities are old (they all still use chalkboards.. first time iver ever seen one in my life) and some flat out gross, its a running joke to call Deloach Hall ( the physics and oceanography building) DeRoach hall because of all the roaches you see running around and the flat out uncleanliness. I'm not being hyper critical just honest, there are a lot of positives. The food though it costs a lot is very good in my opinion they have great vegetarian and vegan options. The Student rec center is par none, best rec center ive ever seen and everyone here is all about health and fitness. They also have a newly renovated math building and a new computer technology building and teaching building but I rarely go into them. Seems like there trying to improve there lacking programs to get more people interested in the school and its at the cost of there well known programs because they know people will continue to come here whether facilities are nice or not. And the staff and faculty are on and off really depends but i guess thats the same everywhere. But hey at least or basketball team makes it to the NCAA tourney ever year and we can afford to pay our coach like 5 mil a year...

For all those from points north complaining about out-of-state tuition, please know you are welcome to attend school in your OWN home state. The UNC system exists to educate those from North Carolina with many schools even having certain percentages of in-state students they agree to admit who meet the other requirements. I realize the draw of a school near the beach, but please understand that doesn't guarantee you financial support from an institution, nor does the order in which you apply. This is the case in NC with the UNC system schools as is the case with many other states and their state schools-priority is given to in-state students.The majority of the students come from inside NC and need financial assistance as well as $6000 is not the total cost for 4 years of college as you well know JS. This a NORTH CAROLINA public university for the people of NC as the creators of the UNC system intended. If you need clarification on this, please search Goals of the UNC system, one of which is "serving the people of North Carolina." Please take the entitlement...

The professors in the online accelerated MBA program are top notch, accommodating and experts in their respective fields. The administrative staff however…… the administrative staff will ruin your academic experience. The amount of “human error” costing time and money to solve is absurd. I would challenge anyone with an administrative issue (tech support, registration, financial aid etc) to find a member of the staff to either accept responsibility for their mistakes or to say “yes I’m the person whose job that is, let me help you”. Turn in a late assignment and get a failing grade because students are held accountable -totally understandable. Paid members of the faculty that won’t or can’t do their jobs? Keep on paying them, results don’t matter in the academic world as long as the students money is flowing into the university. Great MBA program just manage your expectations before trying to solve any administrative issues. I had to threaten to sue for the cost of my tuition when they could not produce my diploma before they finally...
