University of North Carolina at Charlotte Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Sydney

The only thing that I wish I had known was more about the locations of building on campus. The school is large and alot to do...if you know where it is.

Eric

I transfered to this university after recieving my two year degree from a community college. Because of this I wish I had a better idea of what classes would transfer and which would not. If I had known this ahead of time I could have graduated a semester sooner than I am.

Joseph

That they don't have great food on campus.

Ashley

Nothing, I knew what I neened to know about this school.

Onya

I wish that I knew how impossible parking was on this campus, as well as transportation in general. It is really difficult to get from my off campus apartement to campus later on in the day becuase the shuttle stops running around 6 pm.

Cassondra

I wish I would have known how difficult it can be to get around at times without a car. Also, I wish that I would have known how difficult it and time consuming it can be to look for scholarships and find grants that apply to my situation and then apply for those grants and scholarships.

Elyse

that it didnt have a football team and that it was more of a commuter school than anything else.

Julie

I wish I had known more about the dorm rooms so i would know what I could bring with me. I would have also liked to know more about the campus and the classes they offered.

Andrew

Before coming to UNCC I wish I would have known the surrounding area a little better because Charlotte is such a big city and it can get a little confusing sometimes. I also wish I would have realized how big the campus was and how spread out the buildings are. I took a tour of the school before I attended school here, but it didn't do the school justice. It is a great school, don't get me wrong and I would hightly recommend it to every one of my friends!

It is a huge adjustment to make when you are transferring. The science faculty are definitely not as welcoming as can be in a smaller school. Many of the research faculty require you to have taken their class or have upper-level courses before working with them.
