I love the teachers and would give more than a one star but since the parking services are so crooked and extort money out of their students with ridiculous citations; I cannot. Carol Ross was simply rude. Talks over you and won't let you get a word in or finish a sentence and defiantly will not listen to what you have to say. I mean for goddness sakes most of us are broke college students and have a lot more to worry about than getting charged a ridiculous amount after paying over 500$ for the permit. Please be more considerate PATS, future students don't need you breathing down their necks.
Love this school. Beautiful campus, great on campus housing options. Engaged student body and faculty.
I can't vouch for attending this school as a student, but I can warn you if you're looking for a job here. In short; DON'T! If you get in the wrong department with the wrong boss, you can kiss any sort of promotion goodbye, because a lazy boss who has you do their job for them will not allow you to progress. They'll find "cost-managing" ways to cut your pay; my husband's pay got cut almost forty percent over the years. The parking costs dearly; it was quite a chunk out over every single paycheck.
UNCC nearly bled us dry! And I hear now that insurance premiums for the UNC university system have jumped over 200 percent! I'm guessing pretty soon employees will be paying for the privilege to work here. I'm just glad my husband is no longer one of them!
I would give a solid 2.5 stars. I've spent 4 years here and I've loved a lot and hated a lot. The university is very liberal, me if you're not then you may have some problems. The parking extorts money from students and faculty, but what else is new.
But other than. A few select professors, my professors have been great, down to earth and humble. The campus is always kept looking nice other than the construction. IFC has Greek life by the nads and cops always patrol so go off campus to have your fun.
I got hung up on by Carol the parking and transportation supervisor. It was not accidental. She began raising her voice at me and talking over me and got upset when I called her out on it. I cannot get in contact with anybody with authority. Poor customer service. Poor communication. Honestly, I expect more from UNCC.
Average university. Lot of international professors who can't speak English properly. Parking sucks as mentioned by other reviewers.
Love the tech facilities through the campus. Library is impressive
Parking sucks, there is NEVER any classes for popular majors (Psych, business, etc), overpriced books. However, the staff/teachers are nice, the campus is always looks nice, kept up, and clean. The food is decent but I wish there was more choices to choose from and the events are always fun.
I was trying to find just a simple answer.
I was calling for an building's address and I was driving for one hours in camp
Nothing but bad experiences here from the get go. From the shops to the classroom I was always disappointed. Student body is grossly immature and undereducated, seen in both the classroom and work assignments on campus. Teachers missing numerous classes (not excited about paying for a class the teacher can't show up to). Seems to be no standard of baseline for faculty. Taking my way too easy A's to Clemson to be a part of a student body focused on educational standards. Would NOT ever recommend UNCC.
The admission office needs work. I was thinking about transferring UNCC to one of the health programs after working hard to get my GPA above a 3.3. I came to talk to an admission advisor about possibly transferring to UNCC. The admission advisor before even looking at my G.P.A tells me the program is tough to get into and you need a high GPA. Then, basically told me I would not qualify, I thought to myself, "WOW this place has no motivation for the students." Maybe the fact I was a black male she told me this, so I walk over to the Nursing build in the snow hoping for better news, and lucky I found an admission counselor willing to help me. I do not think this would be the school for me; this experience left me with a bad feeling about the University progression.
Went to the College of Engineering here, plenty of opportunities to get involved in research, plenty of good professors. Maybe it doesn't have the funding of the "more reputable" universities - but that makes UNCC incredibly efficient at producing research results.
Student population knows how to turn up *when necessary*. Not really a party school - they get shut down pretty quick.
Chancellor takes pride on making himself available to the student population (but realize you're talking to a busy man, don't just e-mail his secretary to complain).
"It is what you make it" - I've heard this a lot at this university. That's generally true in life - so it shows people are learning.
Quality school - not MIT - but local and quality. Take it seriously and get serious results. If you don't. well don't blame us. We done told you.
