University of North Carolina at Greensboro Top Questions

The best part about UNCG is being apart of the Spartan Familiy. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and you will see early that everyone in this positive surrounding wants you to succeed. UNCG provides various programs and resources to make sure your experience is filled with all help necessary to guide you to a successful career. The closed campus is big enough for a student to take in the entire "college experience," but small enough to feel secure. The campus is set in a professional and educational setting, which provides opportunity for students to find a comfortable study space anywhere on campus and stay focused on their studies. Class sizes provide a great student to professor ratio, where there is a chance to work closely with falculty to get that one-on-one experience for students that need help with class content. Also UNCG gives options to Living Learning Communities, where students are able to live in on campus dorms with other students in similar majors to build connections and study groups for students success. I myself have particpate in a LLC program, which I found very helpful as it helped me make friends and share first year experiences with other students who share similar experiences.. I would highly recommend that option for incoming or first year students at UNCG. Overall, I feel that UNCG provides me with a great stable learning enviorment that enables to want to strive for greatness and push everyday toward success.

Some of the classes are really hard such as the sciences but I really enjoy them so I study hard and usually obtain the grades I want. My least favorite class here was sociology but I managed to struggle through it.

At UNCG, professors care about your education. They truly want you to do before. Yes some basic requirement courses might have over 100 student, but professor will encourage you seek them out if you need extra help and take time for questions to explain something you do not understand. Then after you get into your major courses, you practically have a one on one relationship with the professor. In class, your professor will call you by name and ask you what can be done before in order to succeed in the course. Course work is average and as long as you stay on top of your assignment and get them done early and also see the professor before it is too late, there is no question that you will pass with flying colors. I am graduating in May 2012 and I made sure i did my work on time and ask question when i was stuck. emailing my professor was my secret, they truly respond to your email with more than you ask for.

The professors are all extremely knowledgeable and well informed in their specific fields. They are very eager to assist students within and outside of the classroom. The classroom sizes are perfect for someone like myself. It's about a 17:1 student teacher ratio. Which allows the professors to build relationships with students. As well it allows for great class discussions. Many departments offer excellent educational opportunities such as seminars and internships.I have been very pleased with my educational experiences thus far.

The majority of classes are medium sized, but there are big lectures for some subjects (ex:biology). My favorite class would have to be my English 105, I had such an amazing professor! Yes, a lot of students are aware of what's going on in the news, very intellectual conversations occur outside of class. The professors are so willing to help you succeed that they will meet during anytime that works with your schedule.

Academics are really great, because we have a wonderful professor to student ratio, and I made great relationships with all my professors. They know me by name, and they really do care about how you do in their classroom. Of course, like at every school you will fall on a professor who is not as great, but I also learn form those professors, because it helps me discover my learning style. I am a theatre department, and I think that it is very inclusive, and it really is preparing me for a career in theatre later in life.

I felt as though i had a rigorous education. To do well at UNCG and in life you have to try, don't come here if you want to float on by. . . I feel like it repaired me for the real world, and i feel like most of the people in most of my classes took school pretty seriously.

Surprisingly satisfying. Music, Education, and Nursing majors should go here. If that's what you want go for it. I had a lot of AP credit. They aren't out to take all your money like other schools so they let me use all of it. They aren't trying to bleed me dry so i can get out quick. I'm an English major. We have a solid MFA department for creative writing and professors are smart and great. I've been very satisfied. I'm also in the honors college which offers honors classes that are incredibly interesting.

Professors definetly know your name. Favorite class would definetly be communications and i absolutely hate giving speeches! Least favorite would have to be developmental psychology. Class participation is pretty much required in the smaller classes but it helps in the long run if there is a comprehensive exam. You do have to study but it will help when it comes to the exams, it helped me. The education at UNCG is definetly geared toward getting a job for example they require education majors to have a minor so we are more qualified when we go to look for a job. The most interesting class I took here would have to be non-western religions. It was really interesting to learn about new cultures.

There are some extremely large classes. Basic lectures (Bio 101, Math 122) can have upwards of 100 students. But once I got into my major, my classes were small and intimate. Discussion amongst students is always highly encouraged. My professors have all gotten to know each of us very well and they learn our strengths and our weaknesses quickly. My professors were also always open to meeting with me outside of class.
