    Am learning a lot

    Great Teachers (only one crazy teacher yet haha) and in addition to great courses I have had many so many life changes experiences I really couldn't explain in this box
    Am enjoying being here

    Great campus atmosphere I love all the friendship and networking I have done over the past year and has a great gym!
    Bang for the buck

    College is never cheap but I think pricing is decent since im paying about 11,000 a year for everything (meal plan, dorming, and tuition and other college fees)
    Tips for prospective students

    DON'T TAKE ANY ONLINE COURSES!!!
    If you live close by and can afford it I would highly recommending spending the extra cash or scholarship on dorming!!! It is a great experience

    When you attend the University of North Carolina Greensboro, the first thing that will strike you is the beautiful campus. The second thing is the immense amount of knowledge and care the professors share with the students. UNCG is lucky to have such an amazing staff and excel in educating many fields. The Nursing, Education, and Business programs are especially strong. It is ranked in the Forbes Best 600 Universites in America.
    Am enjoying being here

    Social life and college life around UNCG is great there are many things going on all the time. In between the nationally ranked soccer team and the new UNCG home court located at the Greensboro Coliseum, athletic events are always a site to see. There are many local restaurants and hangouts in and around campus such as Yum-Yums, known for their famous hot dogs and ice cream. Also the Old Town Draught House and Jacks Corner are excellent places to eat. Again, the campus is beautiful.
    Bang for the buck

    A great University education, plus many more opportunities that aren't offered anywhere else in the state, such as the study abroad program and International Student exchange. UNCG has more to offer at a lower cost than any other university in the state.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared to deal with a parking nightmare, one of the first things you will learn should you attend, is that the parking situation here is the only bad thing about UNCG.
    Great for these types of students

    UNCG is great for students who are looking to learn a lot and exert themselves in order to receive a great education. There is everything one could hope for in a college and more. UNCG is a very laid-back yet extremely prestigious university and most who come fall in love with it and couldn't dream of going elsewhere.

    The professors are great. I have not had a class Ive hated. The Classical Studies department is excellent. Never a dull moment with those professors. Professors are usually very understanding to those who are actively trying in the class. They will help you when you ask. If students are having trouble with a class there are free tutoring, a speaking center, writing center and a 24/7 library all on campus. Help is always at you finger tips. You just have to ask.
    Am enjoying being here

    During the week the campus is busy and there are many things to do but on weekends students (including myself) goes home. Even though there are many things around to do such as the nearby Four Seasons Mall, resturantsI and the many movie theaters it all cost money and most college students like myself are completely broke. If you find the right people to hang out with weekends can be a blast.
    Bang for the buck

    Double majoring is the best way to get more for your money. Try to choose majors that are close together so they can be coordinated better. The dorms are Ok. I stayed in the highrises. The only issue I have ever had with the highrises is the noise. It is not to bad but it can be quite annoying at times. The best dorms are Ragsdale and Phillip/HawkinsThe food in the Cafe is not the best. It is buffet style with grills and stations around the edges. If you can be patient and wait in line at the grills and stations the food is pretty good. Not to mention the desert bar.
    Tips for prospective students

    1)If you are worried about making friends join a residential college. There are many at UNCG. FYE, Warren-Ashby, Live Learn and many more. They provide opportunties for making friends and also gives you more access to help for classes.
    2)If you are having problems with your roommate talking to them is the best way.
    3)If you are struggling there are always someone to help you in every subject. Don't be afraid to ask.
    4)Get involved any way you can. It looks great on your resume, it gives you a chance to make a difference on campus and you can make many friends.

    Any and all types of students. The diversity of people here is great.

    Being part of the Grogan College Living Learning community, I have learned a lot about my major with my fellow classmates. There are many different living communities available at UNCG that a student may apply for if they do desire. I highly recommend being in one as it is a great way to meet people within your major, build strong relationships with them, and even tons of educational help from your fellow classmates.
    Am enjoying being here

    What I love about UNCG is that there are many different clubs that are available. A student just needs to look for what they truly love. It is not difficult to be part of a club and maintain your grades at UNCG. As a matter of fact, being part of a club will make you become a better student. Being only a freshman at college, I already am a student leader at the Associated Campus Ministries. Seeing how much I love being part of this program, I always strive to be a better student.
    Bang for the buck

    Comparing tuition to other UNC systems, UNCG offers a fair price to it's students. There are different meal plans that a student could apply for, and even different living arrangements that may vary prices. UNCG has a lot to offer for it's students, and the price of it all comes very affordable.
    Tips for prospective students

    I highly recommend to completed their FAFSA application ASAP. This truly helps you if you need financial aid. UNCG is great by giving away scholarships, but the student must show that they want it.
    Great for these types of students

    Having the most diverse student population in the UNC system, UNCG is great for anyone interested in coming here. Not too-small or not too-big, students could get from one side of the campus to the other in no time. Greensboro is a great town overall, and UNCG is simply amazing. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

    Am learning a lot

    In all of my classes thus far, there has been at least one thing I have been able to pull out from my classes and carry with me to apply to real world situations. In the classroom, the professors strive to ensure that their students understand the material being taught.
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love UNCG. It is an absolutely gorgeous campus with some sort of event always going on. THe majority of the students are friendly which makes it easy to meet new people and establish one's niche of friends.
    Tips for prospective students

    Generally speaking, if one is planning on attending any college, whether it be UNCG or others, they need to be prepared for the work load. It is not impossible or scary, but it does not take long for a GPA to suffer due to laziness.
    Great for these types of students

    UNCG is known for it's arts and nursing program. Having been a major in the arts previously, I can voucher for this. The professors push students into thinking in new, successful ways about the world to approach design projects in ways they never thought possible. I also have two good friends in the nursing program who enjoy themselves although it is difficult. All in all, UNCG would be a great niche for anybody because this school has a lot to offer.

    Did enjoy being here

    The campus is always full of fun stuff to do... except on the weekends. It's completley dead then.
    Bang for the buck

    Really good for the cost.
    Tips for prospective students

    As sketchy as they sound, live in a high-rise dorm!! The people there are really nice, and it's a good way to meet other freshman. Most of the hall style dorms are upper classmen, but the high-rises are usually all incoming freshman who want to have fun!
    Great for these types of students

    Artsy, open-minded. The school isn't that big on sports, but still really fun.

    UNC Greensboro is a very diverse school in a positive light. Because this school is so diverse, I have so many more opportunities I feel open to exploring rather than feeling the pressure of needing to be a part of something. Being a UNCG Spartan has widened my future and given me above excellent education to carry me through to beginning my career!
    Tips for prospective students

    Your study habits from high school are no good in college! Find out what kind of environment in which you study best (ie. noisy and inspiring, quite and dull, a library, a coffee shop, outside, or in solitude). Knowing the environment in which you can concentrate and focus is a valuable tip because it will be where you go when you know you need to get something done! Also, join organizations, club sports, explore academic clubs: they help to point you in the direction of finding out what kind of career, lifestyle, and interests best fit you.
    Academic Rigor

    Exams are hard for the most part. Study habits and routines will need to be different for each class you take. Professors don't hold hands and most take attendance which account for whether they keep you in their class or not (aka: fail a class!) So go to class!
    Dorm Life

    I never lived in a dorm, I commuted my freshman year 30 minutes each way, and my sophomore and junior year I lived in an apartment off campus (which is cheaper than dorm life).
    I recommend being in a dorm your freshman year and not rooming with people you already know for this reason: you make friendships with your neighbors and roommate. You discover the kind of person you are when you are on your own: you find out whether you're a really clean person when you're not at your parents house, or you discover that you are rather outgoing and adventurous, and/or you also grow into a more responsible person by learning time and money management on your own. Do not bring your car to campus.
    Food and Dining

    Campus Dining Services have a lot to offer, more than just cafeteria food. There are many different food establishments in the student center and on the boundaries of campus that offer satisfying yet healthy options for dining because on campus, healthy options are not always offered. Campus Dining Services also offers part-time positions for learning the in's and out's of services and food preparation and you also get discounts!
    What to do for fun

    Club sports like Fencing Club, Ultimate Frisbee, Swimming, Rugby, and even Quidditch! UNCG has a club sport for almost anything and it's easy to also start your own club sport if you have a great idea! Student Government is a great organization to delve yourself into for at least a year because you learn about the happenings on campus and you are exposed to how much the administration, faculty, and students actually work to improve campus and meet students needs! Student Government is the most networking-savvy organization to be a part of and it also offers free courses and opportunities to improve your leadership skills.
    Lastly, there is a club/organization for anything and everything, even for those who, maybe like you, like to secretly play video games or go on weekly bike rides!

    Bang for the buck

    Tate Street Coffee on Tate Street is worth the seven minute walk from the Starbucks in the Student Center because they offer coffee and espresso products, sandwiches, pastries and other beverages for at least half the price of Starbucks. Tate Street Coffee is also the hot spot coffee shop for UNCG students, faculty, and other members of the community and they also offer jazz night, poetry meetings, and is a great place to meet up with someone without that awkward feeling!
    Jake's Billiards up Spring Garden is a cheap and highly welcoming place for students now that their expansion and redecorating welcomes students of all ages and types for billiards, ping pong, darts, music, socializing, and dining!
    Also, feel free to take a bus down Spring Garden Street to get to Lost Ark Video Games where they not only sell used video games of every single console, used and new vinyls, and gaming accessories, but they also have quite an assortment of vintage pinball machines, arcade games (old and new) for cheaper than Celebration Station!
    Yum Yum Ice Cream parlor sits right on campus and has been here for almost 100 years serving the community cheap yet award-winning ice creams, award-winning hot dogs, as well as other beverages and foods for your choosing. Yum Yum's forever has a spot on UNCG's cultural identity!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Look into Humans versus Zombies nationwide collegiate game of Nerf gun tag. On warm Friday nights on the front lawn of the student center, many students from every clique of campus gather to play freeze-tag with each other under this well-lit grassy patch of campus! Start your own games too! Other students also organize Nerf Capture the Flag games on the golf-course, Foust Park, and other places on campus!

    Clubs and Activities

    Opportunistic, so take advantage of the ones that interest you now, and also explore to new clubs and activities to broaden your horizons! All are low cost or free usually to join and you make tighter friendships and establish unique relationships with people you meet through a unified interest!
    Greek Life

    Not all Greek Life is the same general stereotype people think of when Greek Life comes to mind. Each sorority and fraternity is different and they each have different motives and ways. Some are parties, others are purely academic, and others are good-mannered, highly recognized sororities and fraternities that gain high recognition for personal development and growth throughout college years.
    Campus Safety

    Campus safety improves every year and once you start living on or near campus, you become accustomed to which areas make you feel comfortable and which do not. UNCG Police Department improves drastically every year, especially with their feature of after-hours escort services and Blue Light emergency posts on virtually every corner for convenience and safety!

    The school is very laid back, however you have to do the work to make good grades. Nothing will be handed out to you. I am an education major, and it is very competitive getting into the program.
    Am enjoying being here

    Everybody is so nice, and willing to help you with whatever you need help with. I have had no problems with this school, and I really enjoy being here.
    Bang for the buck

    UNCG is very affordable for in-state and out-of-state tuition. If you qualify for financial aid, I recommend filling out your FAFSA early, because if not, then you can be the last on the list to get your financial aid to go through at the school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for your parking pass early. Emphasis on early. There are so many students, and teachers you have vehicles on campus, with limited parking. Parking passes gets sold out fast.
    Great for these types of students

    There are many opportunities on UNCG's campus. Many clubs, sororities, fraternities, volunteering opportunites, Study Abroad, and many other things. Look into everything on campus, and get involved.

    Am learning a lot

    I have learned so much in the time I have been here. In the classes that I have been in I have felt like the professors wanted the students to succeed and do well. Because of that I feel like they are willing to work with the students. With my major I have had so many opportunities for internship. Not only have I gained “book knowledge”, but I have also learned a lot of practical things through both classes and internships that I will definitely be able to take with me in to my career after graduation.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have enjoyed being here. There are lots of things going on. I have met so many great people here and have had so many great opportunities and experiences while I have been here.
    Bang for the buck

    UNCG is certainly not one of the most expensive places to go to school. However, I definitely feel like I have had a great education, great opportunities, and good places to live with dorms. It has been worth it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! It seems like there is something for everybody. Getting involved is going to be one of the best ways to get to know new people that you have things in common with. It is a great way to do something on campus and to build great relationships with other students.

    Great for these types of students

    UNCG has a very diverse student body, and a wide range of majors. If there is a good program for you major, this is a great place to be. There is something here for everybody.

    In state tuition is well low, even with parking and a high quality dorm the cost of living and other things, I live on campus for under 12,000 per year.

    I went to visit the campus today and it is extremely pretty. It's a good balance between historic and modern. I'm not really a city person myself, and I like the natural aspect of the campus. There's a creek that comes through and LOTS of trees, which I really like. All in all, very nice looking.

    I love the atmosphere here at UNCG...there are so many types of people here yet everyone seems to get along well. Greensboro, itself, gives off a very homey, warm atmosphere.

    I feel as if the professors really care about your success not only in school, but in life. The money I am paying is more than worth it, I am creating bonds with people as well as getting a magnificent education with a happy healthy atmosphere.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always be yourself, do what makes you happy. You're going to college to become what you are going to be for your life, don't spend your time here trying to do something for other people. Do what makes you you, have fun and give your all 100% of the time.

    The instructors are very knowledgeable in their subject of expertise and they are willing to help you in any way possible to help you be successful in their classes. All you have to do is to not be afraid of asking questions. Smart people ask questions to learn.

    Definitely worth going to if you are in NC and are wanting to be in a metropolitan/city type area with the suburbs nearby. The education is not that bad and the area is relatively safe for all.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to keep your grades up whatever major you are in when you are accepted here! It is a highly academic atmosphere with most of the students striving for their education in anyway possible.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who enjoy a small-town kind of feel. A not-so-large campus for those who are easily intimidated by large universities. As well as the nightlife downtown with a few interesting clubs, one being a rooftop club for those homework free Thursday nights and weekends.

    Student life at UNCG is quite bland. The school has been nicknamed: The Suitcase School, because most of the students go home or to other colleges on the weekends.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't live on campus and don't get a meal plan. It's cheaper and you'll eat food you like, instead of pizza or pasta for every meal. (Because most everything else in the caff is NOT edible.)
    Academic Rigor

    I liked attending almost all of my classes, and tried not to let the atmosphere on campus take away from the positive learning environment.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms at UNCG are absolutely awful. Insect and sometimes rodent infested, never the right temperature, and it smells like someone died on every hallway.
    Food and Dining

    The food in the caff is awful, the places on campus that take flex or cash are pretty good.

    Compared to the tuition at Pfeiffer, UNCG costs less and they have a lot of scholarships that students can apply for. But all students considering UNCG and its scholarships should complete their FAFSA as early as possible; I suggest by March 1st. For many of their scholarships, completing your FAFSA application and an admission application is all you need to apply.
    Tips for prospective students

    COMPLETE THAT FAFSA EARLY!!!! This will help a lot if you want scholarship money. Also research the school in depth. Any school's website is available to serve a purpose for you. It gives you great information from your application status, the type of students they are looking for, to financial information such as scholarships and deadlines.

    UNCG is a commuter school, so the campus is shut down and pretty deserted on the weekends. The city itself is more bad than good- the nicer shopping and eating areas are too few to make up for the decrepit areas and crime.

    Lloyd International Honors College is a great program, and the benefits definitely outweigh the requirements. The honors course choices are more interesting, and you get a stipend to study abroad!

    This school is outstanding in every aspect. My nephew graduated from this school. He is an expert IT analyst. Even I beat his GPA scores by a landslide and I am old in comparison with him. I received GPA's of 3.8's w/ my AAS Degree in Human Services & my B.S. Degree in Rehabilitation studies with a minor in Psychology

    Will learn a lot

    I have not attended, but do know that they have a reputation for providing an average education.
    Will enjoy being here

    I have not attended yet, but know many people who have and have spent much time in the area. Greensboro is a diverse and active place with much to do and many friendly people to meet.
    Bang for the buck

    It is incredibly difficult to receive financial grants or scholarships. If you are planning to receive a scholarship, I suggest you go to another university (I wish I had myself). The financial aid office is not prompt and is very hard to work with.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who do not have much need for financial aid. Otherwise, almost any student will fit into the Greensboro atmosphere.

    I'm a violinist and a student in The School of Music. The program is awsome, the instrutors are very supportive and encouraging, but I have to say that I think I have the best violin instrutor a student could ask for.

    Work hard, it is easy to get caught up in the events that are constantly taking place. If you work hard, you will build an amazing community of friends and a great future.
    Academic Rigor

    The academic rigor is that which you choose. The sciences are rigorous and rewarding, but there are also a lot of majors who are an absolute joke. Choose wisely!

    Dorm life is a lot of fun, but keep a good head and do your work. Its easy to get caught up in having fun. Be careful!

    The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is a perfect college for students straight out of high school; they have tons of majors to decide from and plenty of sources to help you decide where you want your life to take you. There are a lot of willing individuals that will help you throughout school when you are falling short with your work or struggling and need that extra boost. I definitely rate this school very highly because the student is the one who matters the most on this campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do your work and study hard, your A's and B's are not going to be given out just like that you have to work hard for them. Ask for help if you need it, that's what the professors, advisers, etc are for.
    Academic Rigor

    There are a lot of readings and papers to write, but nothing that is not within capabilities. You have to study hard and not wait to cram everything in on the very last day to study.
    Dorm Life

    Make sure to not pick the High Risers (Cone, Reynolds, or Grogen) because they are in the worst conditions. DO NOT LIVE WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND, just do random roommate assignments. Make the best out of the dorm because they are really not that bad.
    Food and Dining

    The EUC holds many wonderful places to eat however having to use Flex is something that you will eventually not want to do. The Cafe doesn't stay open late and although there are a lot of options of food you will get tired of it very quickly. There are a couple of places close to campus within walking distance that are really not that expensive.
    What to do for fun

    UNCG is very close to downtown to explore the city and enjoy the night life that Greensboro has to offer. There are Heat buses that will carry you to different places to shop around Greensboro during the day.
    Bang for the buck

    One of the cheaper schools around North Carolina you definitely get your money's worth. It's not so expensive that you will not be able to afford it and you will see that with all the many courses offered you definitely get the better side of the deal.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There's a lot of things that UNCG does throughout the year that is especially connected with the school but nothing that I can specifically mention.
    Great for these types of students

    In-coming students take advantage of the scholarships that UNCG can offer you. Take advantage of the resources that can help you throughout your school year.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are many clubs and activities that students can participate in throughout the school year.
    Greek Life

    Take advantage of Greek Life. It will lead you to many lifelong friends and many social events that can possibly help you throughout life. Greek Life can get your volunteer hours up and connect you to people that can possibly help you with your future.
    Campus Safety

    Campus safety is very reliable and I trust it completely. There are cops around the campus daily and call stations if you're ever in the need for help. There is also a station on Tate Street located within about a five minute walking distance.

    This university has many diverse students. It has a strong school of music, if any one who want to major in music. I rate this school as 4.5 out of 5 stars.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take some easy courses first to get your feet wet and then by the second semester take some of the major courses. However, mix some the general education courses with the hard course when you are in your third year of school.
    Academic Rigor

    Academic Rigor is medium at UNCG. Some class are plain hard like Organic Chemistry and some classes have a lot of work, but gives an experience of using writing skills and speaking skills. The academic rigor is good.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm Life is fun. There are many remodeling of the older dorm rooms on-campus. Also there are many dorm activities in the halls and free stuff!
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria is okay, but most people on campus go to the food court in the Elliot building to buy chick-fil-a, subway, and sushi. The breakfast at the campus cafeteria is great. I would give the cafeteria a 3 out of 5 stars.
    What to do for fun

    There is the international festival every spring semester. The beginning of the year the clubs and Greek sororities and fraternities and other stands host many parties.
    Bang for the buck

    Don't always buy books at the bookstore. Try to get most of the books online or at Edward Mckay's used books store. You can get the most of you money and save money.
    Clubs and Activities

    There so many opportunities to do activities and volunteer with in a club or through the office of service and leadership. Even if you are busy with work and school there is always time to do an activity that you may like. Most clubs do have a fee, but it's rarely over $30. Most clubs are within the major you selected or volunteering club or clubs that just have plain fun.
    Greek Life

    There many sororities and Fraternities on campus. The sigma sigma sigma is the most seen on campus and probably the biggest sororities in the university.
    Campus Safety

    Don't walk at night too much. There are many people from the other side of the railroad tracks that walk through campus. Be back at home or the dorm about 9-10pm. There are still student walking around at that time.

    I love UNCG more than any place in the world. Students are very open and willing to get to know one another. The University challenges you to learn about yourself, and teaches you to grow as a leader.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to enjoy yourself you have to get involved. Joining clubs helps you adjust and teaches you to become a strong leader.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are more demanding than High School, but they are not impossible.
    Dorm Life

    I loved dorm life, you get to know everyone you are living with and you always have someone to hang out with. However, it is always loud and sometimes the bathrooms are a little dirty.
    Food and Dining

    The cafe food is awful, there are almost no healthy options and its all dripping with grease. They are redoing the cafe and upgrading the food selection in the coming years so hopefully it will get better.
    What to do for fun

    Walking around downtown Greensboro, or going to the two malls in town are a lot of fun. I also enjoyed just laying out on the lawn with my friends on the weekends.
    Bang for the buck

    UNCG is completely worth the price, it is a relatively cheaper college for an amazing experience!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    NEVER walk through the clock tower, if you walk through it you won't graduate on time.

    UNCG is a very welcoming school. I love the diversity and the different personalities. I never thought that I would have enjoyed my experience as much as I have so far.
    Tips for prospective students

    For prospective students, I think that this is a wonderful choice. If you get out and meet people, this will help out on your experience. There are many fun events with free stuff and helpful stuff as well.
    Academic Rigor

    UNCG may seem easy but at times it can be very difficult. You really have to do your work. It just depends on your professor.
    Dorm Life

    I wouldn't recommend the high rises but anywhere else you should be fine. Housing and Residence life are pretty good with helping out with dorm issues. They are quick to send FIX IT over to help with any issues that you may have.
    Food and Dining

    For the most part, the cafe is a fifty fifty situation. they have their bad days and good days. We have plenty of options so it should not be too much of a problem. Most of the Cafe lady workers are very very nice and sweet!!
    What to do for fun

    There are plenty of things to do on and off campus. You will never get bored if you meet people. I have joined a fashion club names THREADS. I also go to many of the events with free giveaways.
    Bang for the buck

    I'm not sure what this means but I'm going to guess this means a way to get the best deal to save money. They do give out coupon books, discounts for Papa Johns, MIMI's Kitchen, China Wok, Manhattan Subs, and some stores in the mall.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I love the fountain behind the EUC. It is so peaceful back there. I sometimes study or sit and drink Starbucks with friends back there. A tradition that I found out when I went to orientation, is that we do not walk under the clock tower because, it's bad luck and you won't graduate on time.
    Great for these types of students

    There is pretty much a club for everyone. People create clubs all the times which makes it easier for you to find students just like you. I know we have Harry Potter club, which I thought was pretty cool.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are many clubs to join you just have to do your research to know what you would like to do. There are always activities on campus, we even have dedicated weeks for events that go on, even in the cafe!
    Greek Life

    I see Greek life all the time. As everyone knows, you have to be really involved and get to know them in order to join.
    Campus Safety

    Campus Safety is pretty good. We have had some occurrences on Tate street and some dorms, but for the most part protection is everywhere! We even have undercover vehicles. For and example we have a few cop cars that are planted just to make you believe someone is in there and we also have a undercover mini van, cyclist and cars that drive around.

    Generally, professors at UNCG will challenge you to some degree, but the work is usually not impossible to accomplish. They will also offer office hours and help when needed.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm Life is improving. Most of the older dorms have been either renovated or are in the process of being renovated. The only dorms you might want to avoid are the high rises, as the rooms are extremely and they seem to be the dirtiest out of all the dorms.

    Bang for the buck

    As with all colleges it is very expensive to attend but you do get a lot for your money. All textbooks are going to be expensive but there are alternate options to compensate for that. As with food there are numerous places to eat on campus other than the cafeteria that is also apart of your meal plan. There is free transportation that is offered through the HEAT bus which is a small part of tuition, and Financial Aid is there to help you as well as some of the other resources and schools that give scholarships to students on both academic and financial need.

    The caf has a HUGE variety, you have multiple bars to choose from. From meat, to vegetarian, breakfast (all day), pizza, and etc. They have a delicious dessert bar and they also have fruit bars.

    Tips for prospective students

    Being admitted to UNCG requires good SAT, ACT, and GPA scores. Be sure to compare your scores to the school's requirements & work to improve them to increase your chance of admittance.
    Academic Rigor

    I have been accepted into the Lloyd International Honors College, and I can tell that being an Honors student will be no easy task. However, being willing to work hard helps with the daunting tasks that lay ahead. Taking AP classes & scoring well on the final exams can place you out of freshman classes, which can be tedious since they are teaching you the foundations for all of your subsequent classes.
    Dorm Life

    The Lloyd Honors College dorm at UNCG has two students per room and, as an added bonus, sinks are actually inside of the rooms. Keeping the room sizes down definitely seems to help keep fights & tensions from forming between students.

    When I went to visit, the cafe was spectacular. The food is definitely of good quality. It will be hard for new students to resist gaining their freshman fifteen.
    What to do for fun

    UNCG has its own Facebook page dedicated to campus activities. Also, the iSpartan, UNCGenie, and SpartanLink accounts send messages to students when it comes to new activities. There is always something to do when you're at UNCG.
    Campus Safety

    For students who are paranoid about being in a new, unfamiliar location, don't be frightened. There is a 24/7 police force around the campus. You can't go more than 100 feet and not see a panic button. The stations are royal blue and, if the panic button is pressed, a police officer WILL be there in under a minute. The campus police at UNCG are definitely a plus to the whole college experience. They definitely know how to make us feel safe, knowing that they are only a call away.

    The University of North Carolina has a diverse population of students, faculty and staff. It is a true learning environment in respect to academics, social experiences, cultural experiences, and life lessons. This is a place where you can learn lessons and make friends that you will have forever.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always write due dates in your agenda. It is important to keep up with what events you'll be attending as well as what projects you have coming up. It takes organization to have a balanced life and to not get overwhelmed.
    Academic Rigor

    Professors are always willing to work with students as long as there is clear initiative.
    Dorm Life

    If you want dorm life to be fun, it will be!
    Food and Dining

    There are many options for every kind of eater.
    What to do for fun

    Since UNCG students get free bus fare, I like to explore the city when I get a chance. Greensboro has a lot of history and culture so, as much as I love campus, I like to explore outside of campus as well.
    Bang for the buck

    UNCG is not an expensive school for the stellar education and social experiences it provides. Wherever you can save a dollar, I suggest doing so since tuition has been rising for the last 3 years. Don't bring your car. Buy your books used.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The clock tower by the library is said to have a bad omen and if you walk under it you won't graduate on time. There is a lot of tradition at UNCG but it mostly depends on what organizations you relate yourself to.
    Great for these types of students

    There is a lot of music around campus and around Greensboro. If you are into bands and jam sesh's, UNCG is great for you.
    Clubs and Activities

    If students want to get involved, there are numerous options. Do not hesitate to join into an activity!
    Greek Life

    Greek life hosts a lot of campus events and programs! Jump right in and enjoy it!
    Campus Safety

    There are always cops around campus. If you ever feel unsafe and it's dark out, there are designated campus escorts that can meet you and walk you home. There are also blue posts up everywhere along campus that allow you to call for police if someone is in danger.

    It's famous for its' diversity students. Professors, instructors, and advisors are helpful. The campus is undergoing construction, but it still looks fabulous.
    Tips for prospective students

    It's always great to explore the campus because it can be surprisingly huge. When a student wants to drop a class, it's appropriate for them to send the instructor an email saying you have dropped the class. It's recommended that a student starts an email with Dear Dr./Mr./Mrs./Ms. _________ and end with Sincerely or Thank you.
    Academic Rigor

    When a person lacks off on classes, it's not a good way to start college. A person focused on his/her major is great. They can overcome hardships and become successful. A student has to put all their effort in continuing education because that's expected. I think a little bit of fun won't hurt a person's career, but if it conflicts with an exam coming up, it's best to study for the exam instead.
    Dorm Life

    Living in a dorm is convenient because that's where all the connections take place. You can make new friends really quickly. There was about 3 mice in my room, but after calling the FIXT people, they came in and investigated the room for holes. They quickly seal in the holes so I can live in my room without fretting. FIXT people are always there to assist if for example, a light bulb goes out. The person in charge of the dorm also has Movie Nights for all students living in the dorm. The person in charge usually provides popcorn, pizza, and drinks.
    Food and Dining

    Fast food restaurants are everywhere on campus. Simply, if you're tired of eating in the cafeteria, you have choices of eating elsewhere. The cafeteria has large amount of foods to choose from because it's buffet style. They serve breakfast everyday, different toppings of pizza, different pastas everyday, and so on.
    What to do for fun

    On your leisure time, visit the Student Recreation Center to exercise or simply play a game or two on the gym courts. The Rec Center also has a rock wall climbing. You can borrow 2 movies from a large selection at the library. It's recommended to take advantage of Home games because they're free for all students.
    Great for these types of students

    This campus is great for students who like to converse with different types of ethnicity backgrounds.
    Clubs and Activities

    It's great to be involved on campus because you meet new people. You begin connections and start making friends. It's also good to learn a little bit about club because clubs can make you feel comfortable and belonging on campus as well.
    Campus Safety

    All around campus there's a blue Emergency Police Contact system. This system has a button for emergency purposes, for example, you're being followed and feel uncomfortable. Another button is for information, for instance, it's late at night and you need someone to walk you to your car.

    The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is a great school. The campus is beautiful and all the professors are very helpful and caring. All the classes are challenging and will help you learn at your maximum level.
    Tips for prospective students

    For prospective students I would reccommend taking tours of the campus and staying in the area for atleast a day to see all there is to offer.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are very challenging but fair. The professors are very helpful and caring. They will do their best to help you pass.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is a great experience but personally it was not for me. The dorms are nice but you do have to get used to sharing everything. You share a bathroom with over 20 people.
    Food and Dining

    There are many restaurants on campus including Subway, Jama Juice, Waa Greens, Chik Fil A, Salsitas, Coyote Jacks, Papa Johns, Au Bon Pan, Bo Jangles, and more. As far as the cafeteria, I personally do not like it. You can always find atleast something to eat but they do not have a wide variety.
    What to do for fun

    Right on campus is Tate Street that has coffee shops and a few restaraunts. Also there is a 3 story mall near buy and tons of shopping opportunities. There are plenty of clubs and bars and the Greensboro collisseum is 5 minutes from campus and houses plenty of concerts.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is the Bell Tower. If you walk under you are said to graduate a year late. There is also the rock. You can spray paint messages on it or advertisements, BUT you have to leave the previous message on their for atleast 3 days.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are plenty of activities and clubs to join. They are all listed online
    Greek Life

    Alot of sororities that do alot of good things for the community.

    I have an aunt who is a cop that patrols that area so she tells me about her rounds on the campus. Its not perfectly safe, but its hard for most urban cities like Greensboro to be crime-free.

    The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is the prime definition of a melting pot. There are so many different cultures, majors, and styles of learning that can fit every student's interest. The college itself is a great experience, not only on an educational level, but a life experience level.
    Tips for prospective students

    The first tip I have for any upcoming students is come in with an open mind so you can take every learning experience from every class to every engagement you have dealing with the school. You should also take full advantage of all the different aspects of culture and activities that are presented. Most of all you should make your term at UNCG count so when you engage in the real world you will be established.
    Academic Rigor

    When it comes to the academic rigor UNCG is well placed. We are not some ridiculously easy school neither on the same playing field as an Ivy League like Harvard, but the degrees are well earned and our professions come out labeled as one of the best. What ever it is a student gets at the University of NC at Greensboro is well earned and appreciated.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is an amazing experience within itself. I would recommend every student to stay in a dorm at least one semester because it brings so many opportunities. You meet new awesome people, and you learn life lesson that you will never forget.
    Food and Dining

    Food and Dining services are better than the average University. The institute was kind enough to provide students with over 10 restaurants to pick from. There is also a Golden Corral all you can eat buffet style cafeteria. In the cafeteria you have a vegan side then you have the normal side with endless amounts of varieties of foods from soul food to a sandwich bar.
    What to do for fun

    During the weekends and the weekdays there are plenty of things to do for fun on campus and off. You can find a lot of activities to engage in that is dealing with your major or you can do things like play in our spades tournament, sit court side at our basketball games, join in our seasonal human versus zombies game, take it back to high school with our wacky tacky prom, etc. We also have a great deal of surrounding activities that go on around or even on campus like cancer races, or concerts.
    Bang for the buck

    The University of NC at Greensboro is safe with me mainly because I am comfortable and I notice all of my peers are too. Every student is an individual in one way or another, but no one seems to be out of place. We all, at this point of life, would like to feel excepted and UNCG has a great way of fulfilling that.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Well there is this one hang out spot. It used to be the fountain right in the front of the cafeteria but since that is under construction it is the breeze way in the front of the EUC (student union). Every one usually just hang out there to kill time, enjoy the weather, or get some work done.
    Great for these types of students

    This is great for all types of students because it is a way to bring everyone together without using any type of scheme or force. When a student notices that every culture and interest is sitting in this one particular spot then no one feels the need to deny the open invitation.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are many clubs students can join here at UNCG. We have the usual like sororities and fraternities then we have the unusual like the deaf and hearing peoples club (DHCC). As far as activities everything is an open invitation.
    Greek Life

    I don't know much about Greek life, but I have witnessed some probates during my term here. As expected it is pretty intense and heart warming at the same time. It seems as if it is a wonderful organization to be apart of with more heart filled joy than pain.
    Campus Safety

    The University of NC at Greensboro is surrounded by a safe area, so that helps the campus in safety. We have many success factors to our campus safety like 24 hour security and a unanimous want for safety campus wide. Yes we have had a few problems but they have not became a constant problem.
