So, you are thinking about UNCW? At first, you might feel yourself sucked in by the beautiful weather, the well-kept campus, or even the laid back atmosphere (that is to say, that the students aren't totally self-absorbed and competitive like at UNC-Chapel Hill or Duke), BUT in the end, you will find that your education holds very little value. If you attend UNCW, it is very likely that you will enjoy your college years, especially, if you are a pretty typical, middle class, student. If you are male, be advised that there is an abundance of beautiful, beach blonds.You might even find a few good professors. Then, in your senior year, you will realize if you are someone's favorite or if you will soon be forgotten. Even if you are a top student, you will find that your professors and potential employers doubt your education. It's good enough were you might get an interview but in the end you will not get a job; UNCW has no network. Also, the student body has no concern about whats going on in the world. There are good students, but no edgy, gogetters at UNCW. The education at UNCW does not challenge you to grow as a person. You will wish you could graduate and stay in Wilmington at the beach but realize you have no job and very little work ethic and must go home to mommy and daddy.

Quite Bright
This school is amazing. The only downfall is that we don't have great sports teams. By no means is this school easy and the people are friendly. We are becoming more highly regarded every year. We don't have the arrogance of Chapel Hill, but we have the beach 5 min away. Campus is stunning and the more you put into your education here the more you will get out.

I love this university. The campus is amazing, and being right next to the beach is wonderful. I've taken summer courses at both Chapel Hill, and NC State. Wilmington's courses are right on par with both, if not more difficult. That being said, if you are intelligent they won't be a problem for you. I've audited several of the Marine Science courses for the heck of it and they are awesome. Definitely prefer the labs to the lectures though. Staff is always available for help, and research opportunities are bountiful. They really want students to be involved in their fields of study, and it certainly helps later on.
