UNCC is absolutely awful. Their Science department is literally the worst I have ever seen. I've seen people's tests at USC, Chapel Hill, and other RESPECTED universities, and none of their tests are as ridiculous as UNCC's. Their Chemistry and Biology departments are absolutely infuriating. The way they teach, the way they grade, and even the way they speak. These professors are clowns. The truth is, at UNCC, you're going to have to bust your @$$ to get A's and B's like me, but for what? At nearly ANY other University around this area, you don't have to try half as hard, you get better grades, and you get a degree from an actually respectable university. It's stupid and unfair. I was forced to go to UNCC and I will do my absolute best to transfer. DO NOT come to UNCC if you are looking to go to Medical/Dental/Veterinary school. They are absolutely terrible when it comes to science. I've had good grades all my life. At UNCC, the teachers pretend like they want to help you, but in reality, they do not care at all. You are just another student passing through. The Biology teachers all ask outlandish questions on their tests, and just about everyone will make a D or a C on their tests. They act like they are doing this to help you, but how does that help anyone? They kill your GPA, which makes you look awful especially since UNCC is considered #197 in rankings on U.S college rankings. (After UNCC everything has a "rank not published" so it's safe to say UNCC is near last here.)

Sciences here at UNCC ARE NOT GOOD. If you are not coming here for Science classes, then this place will be a little bit better for you (Just a little)

On the social side of things…This place is a commuter school, plain and simple. There is no sense of identity to be found in the UNCC "community". People dread coming here, and it's obvious. They come here, then they try their best to get out and go home. I've visited many other Colleges, and not a single one of them felt anything like UNCC. People over here are confrontational, rude, and obviously want to be left alone. I have enough friends here, but don't expect to bump into anyone nice here after the first week…oh and if you do? They are probably commuters anyway. Everyone goes home over the weekend, because really there isn't anything to do here. The frats here are a joke. It's absolutely hilarious watching these kids walk around campus. Literally anyone can join, which isn't exactly a bad thing, but somehow they managed to make it a bad thing.. You have literally every type of failure joining these frats, and these kids do nothing but ruin everyone else's day. Sorority girls are…odd. There's literally only one sorority that has some normal people in it. The rest are full of rednecks who just love the confederate flag. UNCC has too many hypocrites and Bible loving kids walking around this place. This would be easy to ignore, if basically everything else didn't suck.

Nothing to do on campus..at all. Want to go to a party? Go to a club instead. Parties here are hilariously bad. The gym here is extremely small, and far away from literally every single residence hall on campus.

My advice? Find another university. This was my last choice, and I was forced to go here for a reason (a bad one at that).

First years are suppose to be this way they are trying to weed out the weak in this case it's you

You do realize that is the point of the grades A and B? They are supposed to be hard to get that way you actually have to learn something. You are suggesting people to go to a different college so they have to learn less? Wow good job. The others are only respectable because they are old. I think your not as smart as you think you are so you're mad your not getting good grades…

Ok well, ignoring the amount of bias in this comment, I don't see the problem. Chemistry and Biology should be hard and very difficult because most science majors would like to go to med school, vet school, pharmacy school, etc. So, you DO need to know chemistry and biology well in order to find work in these fields. My advice? switch your major because you probably don't have the work ethic to stay in any science major.

Obviously you are biased. Maybe you should place some of your anger on your previous educational institution for giving you A's and B's. I am an alumni and one of my roommates was a biology major. He seemed to do OK with it. He is now a intellectual property attorney and doing quite well

I actually agree with this guy. It's not so much as the academics are hard, it's just that the teachers do not even try to help you. The sciences at uncc are weak. That is a fact, and those of you bashing this guy are just plain stupid. Friends of mine at Chapel Hill are getting away with A's in science courses which sounds impressive, until you look at their test…. Look… Making the class easy is not exactly what this guy's issue is. It's the fact that when people at better schools are being handed things, it kind of adds insult to injury when a garbage school makes it more difficult to get the same letter grade. I do quite well myself, however I don't think this is fair at all. To those of you who say it is beneficial to us hard workers, my response to that is "maybe". The problem with the thought of it being beneficial is the fact that we actually have to make it into medical school first, and a high gpa is an absolute MUST HAVE. When know-nothings with high gap's get in and people who have done "ok" but at least learned more don't, then we got a problem, and that's what this guy is suggesting. This problem is very real, but it's just something we are going to have to deal with.
