University of North Carolina Wilmington Top Questions

I have learned everything I have needed to know before school and at school. I'm not sure how to answer this...

It is an amazing experience, milk it for all it's worth.

How important it is to take school seriously from the very beginning in order to graduate in four years.

Take more AP classes.

How small it was. Most of the students are clicky. I just dropped my sorority.

How much fun I was going to have here! It really is a great school and most everyone here is super nice!!

That every school is not perfect. It has a lot of good qualities, as well as qualities that aren't so good. Your college experience is what you make it.

I wish I had known how difficult it would be to start in the middle of the year. I was accepted last year on a deferral for the Spring semester. It is extremely hard to live with 3 other girls on a floor where everyone knows everyone and you can't get the classes you need because you do not get to register with everyone. Then you have to chose your room situation for the next year 3 weeks after you arrive. It really puts you in survival mode and creates a challenaging situation.

The amount of financial aid actually given.

Study tips. Better organizational skills. How expensive college was. And how I would make friends that were going to last a lifetime. The years go by too quickly.

Does not have a proper pre-med focus, although they still court these students. Academic advising is weak for Biology majors. Make sure you are able to obtain all the information that you need to make the proper class choices, independently.

The administration runs you around in circles when you have questions

I wish I would have known how amazing this school was before my freshman year of college so I could have came here from the start! About all the involvement you can do on campus while you are in school here!

I wish I had known how friendly people were here.
