I am only in my first semester, and I am in state. So far I have enjoyed my experience for sure. I just transferred and this school is way better than my last school. (although my last school wasn't much at all) The campus is beautiful and the Student Union is awesome. It is true there are a lot of commuters and a lot of people go home on the weekends but there is still enough people to have a good time. There is always bars and clubs to go to any night of the week obviously because you are in Charlotte. Also, with the football team coming in school spirit is starting to increase. I just made the team the other day and all of my friends are so pumped and are ready to tailgate games. I have only had 5 classes here so far so I can't say much about the education, but all of my professors are pretty good. A couple that aren't so amazing but there will be bad professors at EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL. There are plenty of things to do on campus and plenty to do in the city. If you don't think there is then you are not trying hard enough. If you are looking for a school where every basketball game is sold out and school spirit is high like a UNC then Charlotte probably isn't the place for you. If you are unhappy at your current school and are looking for a cheaper solution then UNCC is not a bad idea at all. I am very glad I transferred here, and I feel like the school is heading in the right direction academically, athletically, and school spirit wise.

The reason they call it a "pre-biology" major is because they purposefully try to fail most of the students so that they cannot move on to the Biology 2130 course. Most of the class failed Biology 2120. I am in a learning community along with many other pre-biology students, we have study groups together, we have many of the same classes, and we all talk about the course with the other students as well, but only a very small percent of us (2 out of 30 that I've talked to) have passed the class. One would think that the department would do something about the exams that ask for random facts, or at least tell the professor to answer questions, but the department's goal is to weed as many people out as possible. As for chemistry, the department REALLY doesn't care. Many individual professors are ok, but according to not only my classmates and I, but also re-attending students who have already graduated from other universities, these are the worst courses and department for chemistry that any of us have heard of. You would be wise to take your chemistry courses at community college if you absolutely want to go to this university. The "people in charge" to be vague, do not at all care, your professor could "lose your exam" and fail you, and the department would not do anything in the slightest, no matter how much you discussed this with them or brought in outside sources. I'm not sure how the other science departments are, but if they are anything like these two, they are not at all acceptable for a university. Do not take science courses here, that is the moral of the story.Aside from academics, this school fools you into thinking it's nice looking and modern. Yes, there are a few buildings, such as the Student Union and CHHS building that look nice all throughout the insides, but the buildings are only nice on the outside. The insides of these buildings are often old, somewhat worn-out, musty, and uncomfortable to be in. Unfortunately, the high-rise dorm buildings are the worst buildings to be in. They have concrete-like floors and walls, low ceilings, dim lighting, little natural light, are very hard to breathe in, and you can expect to see bugs on a daily basis. The school doesn't seem very safe either, I always hear about people getting mugged, usually with the threat of assault. They have police patrolling the area, but for some reason they never catch anyone being mugged, despite how frequently it happens. The dining areas are absolutely terrible. I feel like I'm eating welfare food, which would be fine if they did not force freshman to buy a meal plan for nearly two thousand dollars a semester. The ingredients are so bad, and everything is loaded with oil and salt. It is disgusting, and it makes me sick. I feel better and more energetic when I don't eat anything at all, or even when I go to a fast food restaurant off campus. The people here are not that great, unless you're a young adult from Charlotte or the surrounding areas, you probably won't like it. A lot of people like it here, I think it's because of the whole "school pride" that people at most universities have. Most of the school is from Charlotte or nearby areas, so they might have been planning to go there for a while or may have been more accustomed to it. However, in the end I've realized that they fooled me into thinking it's a nice campus during orientation and whatnot, but now I regret coming here.

However, if you are paying top dollar out of state - you are getting ripped off. In a major like Nursing, they don't have enough staff to move a lot of people through, so they weed people out with a grade of C. Get a C and you are toast. Pair that with a Chem department that is on probation for failing too many students and we paid wayyy too much for the high washout rate.If you are paying $125 a semester hour - its probably fair and you can just drop classes when its looking bad. Out of state students can't do this. Campus Aesthetics: A, Education Quality: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
