University of North Carolina at Greensboro Top Questions

There isn't a specific stereotype at UNCG. There is a little bit of everything at the college. There are a few jocks, but not too many because their isn't a football team. There are a few frat kids that make themselves known, but they're also easy to ignore if you choose to do so.

One of the most common sterotypes about UNCG is that it lacks school spirit because it does not have a football team. This sterotype is very untrue as students at UNCG are actively present at a wide range of sports events and activities here on campus. Though there is no football team, we still show our Spartan Pride during an eventful spirit week leading up to our annual homecoming men's soccer game. Go Spartans !

It is inevitable that schools with have their groups and stereotypes, and most of the time this fact is accurate. At UNCG, it is extremely easy to find something that works for you, even though some of the groups here are most pronounced. There is a profound athletic group established (mostly from fraternities and even sororities) but these groups stay dedicated to their sports and fitness more above anything else. There is also a safe and established LGBT community on campus, and UNCG has been ranked among US schools as a 'safe zone' for the gay community. Besides these two main cliches, you have intellectuals, metrosexuals and even hipsters present. These are just my initial observations, but I have never seen a lone person on this campus. You always have a person to connect with, and the overall message that spreads across our population is chill, laid-back and positive.

I have heard that this is one of the most diverse campuses when it comes to race.

University of North Carolina at Greensboro is know for the big international and exchange student population. We have students studying from all around the world here and we have got a great study abroad program too. In fact, the UNC's main study abroad program office is located in UNCG. We have a huge International Day Celebration every year in during the Spring semester. Every Friday the Office of International Student Services hold a International "Friday-fest" for three different countries to present their culture, in the form of a dance performance or a skit or even a presentation on the country and its people. Almost, all the the nationalities studying at UNCG have been given the freedom to start their own club and most of them are very-well established, with American student being a part of those club too!

The stereotype here is that there are a lot of gay student. That is very accurate, even thought all school might have some gay student, but here at UNCG, there are a lot of them. I know some them. UNCG is a very diverse school and with a large international exchange program and so gay student fit right in and are okay about their sexuality and they are as normal as every other student.

Our school motto is based around diversity. I think people here are very accepting of others and are fairly open minded. However those attending other universities in the area tend to see UNCG as being a suitcase college that attracts a rather large gay population.

The biggest stereotype we have is that most of the guys are gay, but even though we are a very diverse campus (most diverse in UNC system), and we are very friendly towards everyone, we are not a gay campus. We accept everyone and anyone!
