The English department is horrible. There are a few REAL post secondary level classes taught but for the most part, it has been a high school rerun. At least three faculty members are in desperate need of tenure re-evaluation.
English department graduate students are the biggest @ssholes I've ever met. Try to find your counselor--- if you've been assigned one. Getting information about graduate school scholarship money was so difficult and such a closely-guarded secret that I have decided to apply to another --- and better--- graduate program. I will be very glad when I get out of this school. | Campus Maintenance: A-, Education Quality: F |  | | |

| Quite Bright | I sort of feel the need to restrain myself because not everyone has the chance to go to college. However, it needs to be said that this school is 100% garbage. I can't speak for other departments, but as a major major I can say that very few professors have anything intelligent to offer as far as expanding your academic horizons. 4 out of 5 professors you get from the math department will be absolutely dismal - people who are clearly bright in their area but could not teach a cow to chew grass. Higher level mathematics like abstract algebra and introduction analysis courses are things that few people can teach themselves, much less gain a good understanding of on their own - I don't care who you are. Right now I have a course being taught by a professor from a completely unrelated math subject because they only wanted to offer one section and couldn't get anyone to teach it. However the school has buckets of money to dump into a new football program and plans for a new stadium? What this school needs is an academic upheaval. There is much talk of the finance department at this school and that this is a good college for that. Don't hold your breath. I've had 2 accounting courses, two economics courses, and a finance course all as related work to my math degree and those instructors for those courses were absolutely horrible except for two who were good. One of the bad instructors was a graduate student who could barely speak english and another was some old CPA who was insanely arrogant and condescending. If you are an in-state student, this shouldn't even be on your list of backup schools. If you are from out of state, please please you shouldn't even be considering this school either way. I transferred from an in-state community college which turned out to be light-years ahead of this university in every way possible. I am d*** sorry I came here. | Campus Aesthetics: B+, Education Quality: F |  | | |

| Quite Bright | This school is an absolute disgrace and should be discredited.There is absolutely nothing to do on the weekends becauese everyone goes home. If you happen to live in the "greenhouse experiment" for your freshman year, good luck because it is the worst thing ever. You are treated a prisoner in your little 10 x 15 cell. The rc is an absolute dick for a lack of a better word. While there are so many possibilities on this campus, they all fall very short. No one commmunicates with one another and nothing ever gets done. The highrises are filled with soooooo much mold and dust that their solution is just to paint over it and god forbid if they clean out the vents filled with dust from 1984. Another thing is the food, RDH is near the highrises and it does not get the name "rather die hungry" for no reason. The food is always cold. With the new student union, the serve the same old crap everyday.Honestly if UNCC is your number one choice please reconsider because you will not be in the same boat as me transfering next year. | Surrounding City: B, Education Quality: F |  | | |

Pros
- Very inexpensive education compared to other public state schools in the NC system.
- University is expanding very quickly (football team coming soon, several new academic buildings, and new research buildings)
- Good education for business majors, nursing majors, and architecture
- Downtown Charlotte is 20 minutes away
- BOA and Wachovia headquartered in Charlotte
- Clean and pretty campus
Cons
- Very, very, very close minded students and faculty in all departments
- Anybody can apply and get in because the university only wants there money
- Too many cliques (worse than high school)
- No social life on campus
- No social life off campus
- No school spirit
- High crime around university area - Typical commuter/suitcase college Overall, I would not recommend anyone come to this school unless they have no other choice. Your education here will be valuable but you will miss out on the whole "college experience" because it seems like high school all over again. The students are superficial, very materialistic, and stuck-up, though, it's not surprising because it's a big city college. I should have transferred out to NC State or UNC when I had the chance. I stayed here b/c of financial reasons but going to UNC would have been a much better decision even it resulted in thousands of dollars of debt. | Useful Schoolwork: B+, Individual Value: F |  | | |
