I would honestly encourage prospective students to disregard the majority of negative commentary for this sole reason: the reviewers have made the mistake of judging only the social aspects of the university, not the most important factors. Attending a post-secondary institute is not about partying or getting wasted to the point of inducing a coma.

UNC Charlotte, like a majority of Southern schools, is fairly conservative. That means that drinking/partying is often secondary to academics. The South (including the city of Charlotte and surrounding areas) has seen many commonplace jobs (such as millwork) disappear in the past decade, ever increasing the need for a college degree in order to maintain a stable career. Yes, UNCC mostly functions as the community's university, given that it is an excellent source of affordable education for lower income families that live in the area. However, don't be mistaken; there are plenty of determined, intellectual international students I have met that attend UNCC.

UNCC is an excellent for its academia. The university itself is located a ways away from the actual city of Charlotte, though a short drive down I-85 will take you right downtown for all of the entertainment.

The university is also currently expanding. In its growth it has also lowered admission standards to fill the colleges, but I see UNCC becoming competitive within the next five years: especially with the new football team planned for 2013.

You've got it backwards, academics is secondary to drinking/partying. there's drunk kids screaming outside my dorm from thursday to sunday, and when you get to class you see what affect its having on their brains. I have never met dumber students anywhere than I met here. seriously, do you even go to this school?

I went there and had a nice time while attending.
