The University of North Carolina - Charlotte

The number one thing that I hate about UNCC is the financial aid office. They are incredibly hard to deal with… and this past semester I didn't get my student loan for over 5 weeks because the financial aid office was "running behind." I can't believe how rude and inconsiderate everyone working at the financial aid office actually is. 5 weeks of waiting for a loan, while I'm paying interest on it somehow… and when I absolutely need that money to pay for rent etc. It just infuriates me that the office is so horrible.

Also, the school is expanding too quickly. Classes are jammed full, and it's impossible to get in "good" classes that you actually need to fulfill your major because they'll only offer 1 or 2 sections for 1 semester out of the year. Professors can't give students the individual attention that they should get, some try… many fail.

Students go home on the weekends, it's a huge trend. I've also noticed that the greater majority of them are people who have grown up around Charlotte, depending on their parents. That should tell you what kind of people you can find at UNCC… the greater majority of the students fall into the same little cliques that they form in high school. It sounds immature to say that, but you will not believe how true that actually is.
