The University of North Carolina - Charlotte

I went there in the fall, the teachers dont give any work, its just tests so if u show up every class and do work u get shit for it. Then the wannabee think they are cool fuckfaces who dont show up to class get A's. This is a bullshit school, u cant even get b c or d pluses because they dont have them. Everyone that goes there is a jackass. They think the civil war is still going, flying those confederate flags and shit. Fuck that you guys lost. And the christian thing is kinda scarry, these people get orgies everytime the bible is mentioned. Bottom line, its a wierd school dont go there.

1st Year Male -- Class 2011

I studied at this h3llhole. I should've stayed where I was, but I wanted a masters degree, and I was just against taking out more loans. Most of the graduate faculty are absolutely WORTHLESS as advisors, and one must talk to other graduate students who manage to find things out in order to learn about opportunities such as further funding, projects, lectures-- THE MA TEST, the things that one goes to graduate school for.

My assigned advisor? Forget it. Total flake. Program director? Forget it. MKoron. The best advice that I got was from a faculty lecturer who told me to apply to Columbia or Cornell.

My observation: grad students from out-of-state with BAs from higher-tier colleges get special treatment. The relationships among many of the GAs was awful: competitive in the nastiest ways imaginable; secretive about school and social gatherings if one is an outsider. (I attended most of the social gatherings that I knew of, but I realized early on that there were school/departmental events that I was never told about-- things which my ADVISOR should have mentioned during my frequent office visits).

As long as one maintains low expectations of his fellow man, this school is great. You'll never be disappointed, and you'll never get a good teaching job either because UNCC has such a poor reputation WITHIN ITS OWN COMMUNITY.

No one except for one of my faculty "friends" ever knew how unhappy I was because I slogged along and acted as though I was perfectly oblivious to what was going on. I thought that things would improve, but nothing ever did improve.

I doubt that anyone at UNCC will EVER suspect who wrote this review because I was one of the bobble-headed grad student suck-ups who always had a smile on her face.To paraphrase Bill Clinton: I s*cked, but I didn't swallow.

2nd Year Female -- Class 2007

Campus Maintenance: A+, Education Quality: F

As an out of state student coming from Syracuse, I was just shocked to find that the people in North Carolina were ass holes. This includes students, faculty, and just other NC natives. The school itself also sucks, nothing happens there. Stay away from this school.
