University of North Carolina at Greensboro Top Questions

There are always parties going on somewhere close, but if you don't want to do that there are plenty of other fun things to do. Tate Street is about a 2 minute walk from campus. It has lots of food:mexican, japanese, subs, pizza, coffee. There is also a bookstore, clothing store, etc. I met lots of cool people when I came here. I have actually met a few people that went to our high school rival, which was pretty cool. Athletic events are pretty popular, especially basketball, and it's really fun to go watch the games. My dorm is awesome. Sometimes people just leave their doors open and talk to you as you walk by. And sometimes when we don't have a lot of homework we'll stay up having late night conversations giggling until who knows when.

Greek letter organizations. Im involved in Phi Beta Sigma and we throw the biggest and best programs every year. Basketball is the most popular sporting event next to soccer. Every yer we have fall fest, winter fest, spring fling, welcome week.

some students leave their doors open, about 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. some athletic events are popular (mens basketball and soccer- more people need to come to volleyball!). personally, i don't see very many potential dates on this campus... i met my closest friends through sports and one of my classes. i think frats and sororities are kind of lame, especially here. last weekend i was on spring break in colorado. on sat night besides drinking, do homework and catch up on sleep.

Sporting events are usually the most common things to go to on campus especially mens soccer and basketball games. here you can meet alot of people and just get out to support the school.

most popular groups are sorority and soccer. i am in the tennis group/ has been greek. i have never lived in the dorms, athletic teams like basketball, baseball and soccer are big (the mens), people dont really attend girls athletic games. i have had a lot of different close friends here, but my circle of friends used to be my tennis team but they because too stuck up so now i hang out with my good friends, friends and i met them through chi omega. if i am awake on tuesday i would be at corner bar, homecoming happens every year and is a good tradition, people party all the time, frats and sororities are very important for the peopl who are not on athletic teams because i think it keeps you focus on your goals easier because you have a "family" last week i traveled for tennis to charleston, i go to dinner and a movie, or watch a movie at home, or go to a party/bar and not drink. i do anything and everything off campus.

Greek organizations I would say are the most popular. Students in high school already have a mindset on which fraternity/sorority they will join. They are not important but have a big name on campus. Next would come the athletes because THEY are the face of UNCG. The group of people I am involved with originated from the summer school scene. When school started, they made other relationship which made the group bigger and it is still getting bigger. Students in the dorms usually dont keep their dorms open. Personally, I like to keep it open to let people feel welcome to stop by and say hey. This is another way to meet new people. Maybe I'll play music and they will jus come in and start dancing! Some athletic events are more popular than others. You will find the basketball games packed, but you will see plenty of seats open in a volleyball match. If I am awake at 2 am, most likely I will be studying or watching TV trying to go to sleep. College nights are Wednesday and Thursday, so you will see people getting ready at 9 showering and picking out clothes to wear. Students party 2-3 times a week. Last weekend was spring break so I went out to the club on a saturday night. THere is plenty to do on a saturday night. I, myslef, am not a drinker and i=I have just as much fun dancing in the club with my friends. When I am off campus, which is rare, I'll be eating with friends, shopping, going to the movies, grocery shoppping, or going out to the club.

Social life is awesome. There is always something to do since the college is near downtown. Parties are everywhere and clubs are open alot. Its a good place to attend.

I had a really hard time finding my niche when I first came to UNCG. Had I not gone through sorority recruitment I would not have stayed the entire first semester at UNCG. I did not live in a freshman dorm, so I am not sure how the social scene is there. I would venture to say that the Greek organizations are the most involved in all aspects of campus life including attending sporting events, speakers, and philanthropic events. Most other crowds stick to their own, such as the athletes attend sporting events, but not speakers.
