I would never recommend this school to anyone of color. It is a scam. They lack in diversity and the faculty can be very racist, especially toward African American students. Furthermore, the university protected white supremacist group members who cared guns during the protest without informing students about the potential for violence. They don't want to look out for African American students. The financial aid office is absolutely terrible, as well. I have been misinformed everytime I go in there and I always get a different answer when I reach out through email than in person. In addition to getting different answers, I have struggled to get financial aid each year. The more scholarships I receive, the more money they take away from your financial aid package. They always brag during tours and orientation about providing financial assistance, but unless you are a Morehead-Cain scholar or a Covenant Scholar, you will always have to take out a loan. My parents are public school educators and I can't go one year without taking out loans, even though teacher pay in North Carolina is 46th in the nation. They even had the nerve to take away my work study every year because I always try to get one scholarship. Work study is where students get those wonderful research positions though that medical schools love. It is very hard to find research positions for non-work study students. This is ridiculous. Scholarships given to students are hard to find here and you have to really dig through websites to find they-almost like they hid them. They seem like they don't want kids to graduate debt free. I'm really disappointed. Also, Phillip's Hall and so many other buildings need a major face lift. There was water constantly leaking from the stairs and it looked like the building where going to collapse. They are in major need of some renovations because the bathrooms are old, the water didn't even work in some restrooms for an entire semester, and the elevators don't even stop all the way at the floor for a few seconds. Be careful when you are walking through North campus. The only pretty buildings are Genome Science Building, the Student Store, the Student Union, Carol Hall, and Lenior Dining on North Campus. Lastly,the Chemistry department is TERRIBLE. If you are premed, your GPA may be destroyed here by taking Chem classes. Chemistry 102 has one of the highest fail rates and why? Professors in the Chem department don't know how to teach, except for Bliem and Freeman. Tiani is absolutely horrible. Also, if you want a recommendation from a Chem professor, plan to get real cozy with them. They are selective in who they recommend, even if you attend review sessions and go to office hours. Don't believe anything you hear from them on yours or at orientation. It is all a lie if you are a student of color. I wish I had honestly went to another school where I could flourish and be supported. They lack a lot of things and invest their money in sports, when it should be going to their students. African American students are just treated as numbers that they can brag about. This institution is screwed up.

responseWe are planning to soon move to the us from Australia and I am interested in the availability of good services to help students, because at first it will still be difficult to get used to and for example I often used a convenient solution in assignment help australia, which served as a great way for me to solve problems in education and I always saved a lot of time.

Should have majored in that fake AA studies program the athletes used.
