University of North Carolina at Charlotte Top Questions

There is a huge variety of students at school. There are students from Charlotte living with students from across the world. It is a very accepting environment. People can be themselves and fit in without worrying about being judged.

As I mentioned before, the students here at UNCC are very diverse. Everyone is quite open minded and interested in learning about students from other cultures and ethnic backgrounds. As far as the LGBT community is concerned, there are no prejudgments about those students either. Sometimes, it is typical to see people of the same race interact with one another but simultaneously you'll see a group of people of all ethnic backgrounds socializing also. Many students here are from the United States but there a number of students from different countries around the world. My freshman year, the suite I was housed in was quite diverse. It was myself (an African America), another young woman who was also African American, a young woman who was Caucasian and Hispanic, and a young lady who was Hmong. All in all, we were a pretty diverse group of young women who were all interested in learning about one another's culture. We got along pretty well and invited one another out to different social events that may have not had the courage to attend on our own for the idea of being the "different" person in the room.

Most UNCC students work hard and play hard. There are plenty of religous groups official and not that meet on a weekly basis at the school. UNCC students are generally pretty down to earth people; perspective students who are very mission oriented and rarely stop to smell the roses will probably feel out of place at UNCC. Students of all stereotypes interact with each other at the school- a student just has to look for them, and they're every where from students break dancing in the student union at night to the "long boarders" tearing up the parking decks (yes they will ride down the parking decks). Students are generally not concerned with how much money they will one day make, but politics are very popular amoung some groups of students (there is a very large political science department).

Seize the day, become involved, and use your advisor.

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte has a very diverse campus with students from around the world. Although UNC-Charlotte is very diverse there are many opportunities to interact with people from different backgrounds and cultures. The university has a department for studying abroad so students are able to explore and study around the world as well as international coffee hours where students from different backgrounds can meet and mingle. The diversity of UNC-Charlotte is one thing that attracted me to it because the diversity of UNC-Charlotte is similar to the diversity of the world.

From my personal experience, meeting other students is the best way to make life-long friendships. It is also a great way to network with others. UNCC has many diverse groups on campus. For example, UNCC has many different racial-ethnic groups, international students, graduate students, non-traditional students, and student members of the LGBTQ community. Multiculturalism is very accepting at UNCC. In regards to socialization, I believe that UNCC is racially divided. But where is it NOT divided anywhere else? Although it is true that people tend to follow people similar to themselves, I believe that it is up to the student population to override this conception.

My classmates are a friendly diversed set of students who are always willing to help you at any given moment.

My classmates were a rainbow of ages, races, and creeds from vastly different socioecomic and political backgrounds.

Its about fifty fifty with students that pay attention, take note and seem to generally want to be there as the students that sit on facebook the entire class period.
