What do you consider the worst thing about University of North Carolina Wilmington? Why?

Allison

Not enough scholarshhips available for Theatre and Journalism majors

Maggie

The worst thing about UNCW is probably the diversity, or lack of.

Laura

The worst thing about UNCW is the fact that some of the faculty are too diverse. For instance, I once had a math professor from India; no one could ever understand anything he was saying, and he got mad whenever we asked him to repeat something. Other than the few exceptions, though, the faculty is very diverse and helpful. Also, another bad thing about UNCW is that there are a lot of students and not enough open seats avaliable in certain classes. That can be a pain sometimes.

Campus is to big. It takes at least ten minutes to get to class. Also they are to strict on parking, there are few guest spaces and no late night parking options for the library or anywhere else on campus for that matter.

Tory

The worst thing may be the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuitions. Out-of-state students pay nearly fur times the amount as in-state, with not nearly enough financial aid to suffice such a high difference. The facilities, education, and locales provided are quite excellent but i believe that the price is what makes the school slightly unattractive to out-of-state students.

The worst thing about our school would be the fact that the nursing building has not been built yet. This building is very important to me because I am a nursing major. Instead of constructing a school of nursing, the university focused more on new housing for the numerous students applying to the school. We desperately need the school of nursing to have a building instead of trailors. There are many applicants and they only take 60 in the fall and only 40 in the spring. The low number taken is because we do not have large enough buildings.

That there is not enough parking on campus, and they give everyone tickets for parking out of there zone, when there zone has no more parking spaces.

Don't get too distracted by the beach being so near

Heather

I consider the parking and housing to be the worst part of UNCW. The parking is sparse and very limited. There is barely any on-campus housing. I believe only freshman are guaranteed on-campus housing. The school is currently building new housing so that might help.

Christopher

There isn't really anything terrible about UNCW, but I will say that more diversity would be a plus. However, in my three years here, I've noticed that the university has been working on this aspect.

Sarah

I think the worst thing is the lack of religious diversity due to being in a small sounther city.

Julia

Parking

Adam

To be honest, there is a very strong liberal vibe that I get from the school, which in itself is not so bad, but it seems that it is not such a stereotype that hippie liberal dudes smoke a lot of pot. Not saying its just them... but mostly!

Brittany

Absolutely nothing! Compared to UNCC (where I attended for two years), this university has way more activities and facilities to offer.
