Winthrop University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Winthrop University? Why?

Darby

The food halls close pretty early

Sammira

The limited amount of financial aid that they have available.

Charleen

The cost and aid for this university can be frustrating at times. With the education program, there are some scholarships available. However, these scholarships alone do not cover Winthrop's outrageous tuition. Yes, financial aid is available. This aid does not cover completely the cost of tuition.

Rodger

As of right now, our new president is making a few changes to the university, either without telling anyone or without much of a reason for doing so. The slogans have changed, the colors are being altered, and the tuition is rising.

Dionna

The only thing that most freshmen complain about is this academic class called ACAD. I feel that this class is a waste of time.

Essence

There is nothing bad about the school. It is very well rounded.

The worst part of Winthrop is the rising tuition. Tuition just increased again for the upcoming year, making it more difficult to pay. Books alone are expensive, along with the extra activities you may want to do, such as taking a trip to Carowinds (8 miles away), or go to a movie. Those costs, plus books/ necessitites, along with the struggle to pay for tuition makes you feel defeated, making your goals and dreams harder to accomplish, as if they weren't hard enough (also, if your dreams seem easy to accomplish, you havent set your goals high enough! :))

Besides being very expensive, the worst thing I would say about Winthrop is that I've experienced some of the most outrageous prejudice ever. Both teachers and students alike we're very uncultured about the world outside of white suburban America. It hurt me very terribly when teachers asked what country I was from and if I was American.

It is the best I love it. The best school you can imagine. The school is beautiful nice locations not far from Charlotte, North Carolina. Carowinds is like fifteen minutes from my school it is a town for the young and up and coming. I would not go to no other school in th world. What is great we have a McDonalds center court if you don't like whats for lunch.

There really isn't anything wrong with my school. I would prefer to have other classes included in my major, but that doesn't make the program wrong. Some people might think the school is too small but I like that.
