Advice

Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Chemistry  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright This school is serious. Do not come here expecting to party. The classes at UNC-A are more rigorous than Chapel Hill, or NC State, and you will be taught by a professor at all levels. No graduate assistants. More on par with Davidson or Duke. The geographic location could not be better. Kayaking, swimming, mountain climbing, mountain biking, skiing/boarding, and hiking are fantastic. Overall, this is a fantastic place to go to school if you don't crave the big time football "rah rah" campus party scene. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: C Have a Question?

There are very few conservatives on campus. The Republican club on campus rarely meets and sponsors few events. A good portion of students smoke weed or consume alcohol. This is not a "party school". "Quiet Hours" are not enforced, unless it's exam week. Programs are well structured. Advisors will let you know what classes you will need to take. so you will not be confused when you sign up for classes. Professors are readily available during their office hours. If you have a rough week, some Professors are lenient with giving extensions. Some required classes(Humanities) are Liberal classes. Humanities examines the atrocities humans are inflicted upon one another. The scapegoats are people who practice religion. The campus is beautiful in late Spring to early Fall. Lots of outdoor activities. Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Campus Maintenance: D+ Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

Since they are a small school, they have less students to cater to. That means the faculty is easily accessible and most of the staff has open office hours. Most of the time, they're very knowledgeable about their areas and will help you if and when you need it. But you have to make the effort to go to them. They will help you only if you talk to them. The faculty, no matter how helpful they may be, cannot read your mind. Campus: The campus is small enough for someone to know their way around, yet big enough for people to host events. This is useful for clubs, sports programs, and anything else you can name. There are two main student organizations who host the activities in UNCA, SAIL and Underdog Productions. In that respect, the campus is mostly a place where you can kick back and relax for a while. Extracurricular: The sports program is not overly hyped. There are students who are athletes, but they aren't given any special treatment or granted any massive popularity. The students are very involved across campus and there are many clubs, both official and unofficial, that students can join. The clubs range from the more formal clubs such as the Undertones or even Underdog Productions to the informal such as the Anime club or the Film club. Social: At UNCA, it is more challenging to be an outcast than to find friends. All you have to do is approach people and make conversation. There is not a big fraternity scene at UNCA. Some people would even say it's nonexistent. As a small school, UNCA doesn't have a lot of parties in the dorms or anything crazy like that. The parties are off-campus and students can have a good night's sleep/study while they are on-campus. Political Atmosphere: The school and the surrounding area are both very liberal. Conservatives can find their niche, however. UNCA is a big enough school for this to happen and a small enough school so that you won't get lost in the crowd. Food: From what I've heard, the Dining Hall has improved greatly this year. For meal plans, I would suggest Carte Blanc. This meal plan requires little management and can feed a college student well. You can get 25 meals a week at the Dining Hall and 12 meals a week at the Highsmith Union. It's much better than the other two in terms of amount of food you get. Dorms:From what I've heard, Governor's Hall is the best. West and South Ridge are also very good from what I've heard. Founders(my dorm) and Mills are the more social dorms, and they are pretty good. Governor's Village is probably the worst out of all of them. You do not want to go to Governor's Village. Collaboration/Competitive: A+, Campus Maintenance: B Have a Question?
