Im from out of state, I wanted a change of scenery so instead of fulfilling myself with a respectable education at one of the universities that I was accepted to close to home, I decided to come to the glorified hell-hole that is Greensboro, North Carolina. Needless to say it was a bad decision that I continue to pay for. While the campus is quite asthetically pleasing it provides almost nothing. Terrible sports programs, small-time jokes for frats, nothing in the surrounding city, zero activity, and despite having about 17,000 students almost none of them live on campus or bother to stick around for the weekends. While there is plenty of diversity to be found in the student body, the social scene is incredibly clicky; frat boys w/ frat boys, black people w/ black people, music majors w/ music majors etc. If your into having fun stay far, far away, the parties are patheic and the majority get busted immediately anyway. You could go to the club on Thursdays and during the week but after while it takes a bite out of your wallet and grows old.

Academics arent too challenging just do your work and you'll be fine. Teachers are decent, classes are too but ultimately unfulfilling. If you want any type of involvement in the media industry dont come here, the school's broke as it is and keeps cutting the budget in an already weak program.

All in all, this school is terrible, do your self a favor and go somewhere else and enjoy your college experience. Get a good education, find a good woman, live a good life, and die happy knowing you never had to live in Greensboro. It's March right now and May just cant come fast enough, so I can leave and end the nightmare already. Please, for your own sake, stay far far away UNCG.
