Let's see… where do I start? My high school was much better than this h3llhole. Too many of the graduate faculty have been there too long so they feel as though they're infallible and above reproach. Most are incredibly lazy and spend too much time encouraging the idiot kiss-ups so that it's unlikely that anyone will tell the truth on the faculty evaluation.Others just don't give a cr@p what anyone thinks of them.

Assistantships are competitive in a very strange way. Totally incompetent grad students stay on to teach there.

Favoritism? Unreal. Some grad students don't even go to class but they pass and retain their assistantships.

I really regret having attended this school and having wasted my time there. I love literature and I hope some day to teach, but with this lousy MA degree from UNCC, I am having difficulty getting into a really good school to get and MFA (which is what I should have done) or a PhD.

If you are like me and waited for so many years and worked so hard to go to college, go somewhere else. Attend another university. Get an online degree. Go to a community college. Maybe spend the rest of your life drinking cleaning products. Just don't waste your life at UNCC—at least if you're an English major.

I cannot recommend this school at all. ZERO points from top to bottom.
