I'll start with the city.BrightBiology
I'll start with the city. Dude/Ladies you live in freakin' Charlotte!!! there's nothing to do! School in general is fine for the "general ed" courses. As a person enters your "specific" major course for example, organic chemistry/ biology. It feels as though the professors are betting their money against you! Some professor are very hard to approach, some appears to be approachable but when you ask them the question they answer the question, in a way so you have more questions. Let's talk about exams, I expect exams to be challenging and somewhat requires thinking, but some exams are so ridiculous, asking about something that cannot be done in reality. Some exams questions are something never to be seen in the book nor the notes.

Question
This school is an absolute disgrace and shouldQuite BrightBiology
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.

Question
Tell thiss day i do not know whyQuite BrightBiology
Tell thiss day i do not know why i came to this school..Pretty much the worst decisions i have ever made so far in life. The Biology department is straight nonsense. No one wants to help u. The teachers are not even professors there lecturers. not qualify at all teach entry level clases like you are a phd student.Sometimes the teachers themselves dont know what the heck there talking about. give three exams and thats it so if u fail one ur screwed. just dont come here they just want ur money nothing is free they cant afford tissue for the bathrooms but they are having a football team that wont be winning anything until 2020 this school deosnt make any sense at all. Aviod this school by all means. and if you are broke and have no money definitely dont come cause finanical aid aint givin u shizznit but loans.Sadly it took me two years to figure it out. I transferred after my sophmore year. I feel sorry for those who are stuck there.:(
