I am an out of state student which made me very intimidated coming to school where the majority was from North Carolina. However, there are a good amount of people comming from New Jersey, New York, and Maryland which made the transition easier. Yes, there are very preppy fratty/soriority type of people but there are also alot of laid back surfer types. Everyone is really friendly and smiley all the time. This school has the best of both worlds, it has a great downtown life with bars and clubs(which arn't that strict about fake IDs) and in the other direction is the beach. There is always something to do! Basic studies classes are very easy so it is not hard at all to keep up with the work. The campus is beautiful as well as the surrounding area (the river walk, wrightsville beach)and it's pretty neat to see the places you know in movies and tv shows since they film here often. I am so happy I chose this school to come to and couldn't picture myself anywhere else except UNCW.

UNCW has been a great experience for me! I initially wanted to attend UNC Chapel Hill but didn't get in. However, I can honestly say that I have met some wonderful people here and had some very fun times. College is mostly what you make it, and students at this school are very friendly and love to have fun. We are becoming more known around the country for our academics with each passing year, and I am happy with my decision to attend.

UNCW has an awesome campus and Wilmington is pretty nice. It's nice that it's five miles from Wrightsville Beach, but that is mainly what people do here. In the winter, there is not much to do, except downtown or beach bars. There are parties but usually in a small house or apartment are crowded. The school mainly consists of surfers, long boarders, etc. but even if you don't do these, you can try or you can make friends with these people, but a lot of them stick mainly with their surfing buddies. There is not that much school spirit because everyone just likes to go to the beach. The beach is nice but if you want a real college experience then don't go here. Also, the out of state tuition is rediculously high and not worth it to go here. Your better off going to ECU and having a better time.
