University of North Carolina at Charlotte Top Questions

I would consider my school (referring to the School of Arts and Architecture) to be incredibly creative-based rather than technically based like most other Architecture schools. Students here and encouraged to push themselves artistically rather than memorize information and reiterate it--we absorb information and learn to judge for ourselves what we think is important or interesting.

The school of engineering is one of a kind. I considered NC state for their renowned engineering program. After a bit of research I discovered NC State is essentially purely theoritical and doesn't do a good job of preparing students for the workplace. UNCC is very hands on, has new state of the art engineering facilities and caters to skills and abilites that are useful in the workplace.

Though the school is over 20,000 students in one of the banking capitals of America, UNC Charlotte creates a "small school" feel by providing smaller classes, close-knit departmently communities, and many opportunities for involvement in the surrounding community.

UNCC is unique to me due to the diversity in the school. We have students from all over the world that come here to recieve their education, and it is exciting to learn about their cultures and values in their country. We also have very affordable out of state tuition which encourages these students from all over the world to come here to learn.

A very diverse campus that always has a lot going on.

Because of it's large size, the opporunity to meet new people is always available. At the same time, there is a strong sense of individual attention, especially when one is active in academic programs like learning communities, clubs, and honors programs; in social programs like sororities and fraternities; and in athletics and extra-curricular activities. The campus is large, but manageable, and it is well-maintained and growing.
