School Size is good. The reaction is not negative more positive because I am in college. I spend most of my time in class or in the library. No we are not a college town. Admin is decent but there is more emphasis in certain areas than others. ie sports has veyr little admin support. controversy??? There is a lot of gay pride. I will always remember the variety of people. Parking, sports, book prices, a/c in the dorms

I really like size of UNCG. It's a big campus, but not too big. Also, it's really pretty and the landscaping is nice to look at while you're walking to class. People usually seem pretty impressed when I tell them I go here. I don't do any extra curricular activites on campus, although you can tell the ones who do have a lot of fun. I work a lot, therefore, I don't have the time. There are many things to get involved with though, not only sports, but several clubs and such. UNCG students have a lot of school pride. Also, we wear uncg apparel a lot. There are all kinds of different people at UNCG. There are different races, religions, and differerent "stereotypical" groups. This means you are always going to meet new people and be engaged with different types you may not be used to. UNCG is a really great place to go to school.

The best thing about UNCG-- the campus. The campus is "the" college campus I pictured myself on when I imagined going to college. The school is constantly finding ways to improve it, the architecture and landscaping is continually upgraded in someway and it's the picturesque college campus, and you can still make it from one side of campus to the other in ten minutes. As for staff and professors, I have yet to find a professor or TA that wasn't willing to help me outside of class until I genuinely understood a concept & was never made to feel like I shouldn't ask for help or that it was a inconvience. There are some classes at UNCG that have required "service learning" aka volunteer work--initially I didn't like this but you realize alot of things about the community & yourself after these experiences. I can say now that I've learned things that will benefit me for the rest of my life and that's one aspect of UNCG being a liberal school that comes out most--trying to sincerely make you a well rounded person, not just a well informed student of academics.
This is definitely a "college town" for the fact there's 6 colleges/universities in Greensboro and when you finally reach over 21, downtown is like a playground for nightlife. Overall, for my in state choice, I wouldn't have chosen another school to go to.

I hate it here. There is nothing good about UNCG. Coming here was a truly horrible decision that I will forever regret making. This is absolutely not a college-esque town and Tate Street....c'mon, seriously? They might as well demolish it and make a huge parking lot out of it because it is completely useless. I loathe how we are smack-dab in the middle of a particularly disgusting part of town. I don't feel safe here. School pride is unseen and unheard of. The caf smells like barf and tastes like it too. UNCG is a disappointment.

I would like for more black students to apply here. It is a great school with lots of opportunities.

I really enjoy going to UNCG. It is a nice school with a pretty campus, good majors, it's very diverse, and there's always something too do in Greensboro. I like the size of UNCG. There aren't too many people, but there are definitely enough to meet lots of new people. If I could change anything it would probably be that we would get a football team. I think that would incorporate more school pride. As for the administration, the people who really affect you is whoever is in charge of your major. I am an Exercise and Sport Science major and everyone is very nice, but I have no idea about other majors. The things I will always remember are events that took place while I was just hanging out with friends. like after we ate some of a cookie cake we had a fight with the left over icing.

I think that the best part of UNCG is the opportunity to meet new people.

i think the campus is pretty, and i really like my classes. i wish it was a little bigger though. most people act like its not a big deal when i tell them where i go, or theyve never heard of it. i spend most of my time in the hhp and my dorm. there seems to be quite a bit of school pride. still wish we had a football team though.

UNCG is a great campus. Its big enough to have different people to hang out with if you want but small enough to not be another number and check to the school. Everything is within close proximity to one another and the teachers really get to know the students within the major and really enjoy helping them.

its a perfect size. when people tell them i go to uncg, they think its the tarheels, i spend most of my time on the tennis courts, its a good college town since we are close to downtown, i like the uncg adminiistration, biggest contreversy is that there is not enough boys, i think there could be ALOT more school pride, nothing unusual, the davidson match sophmore year i will always remember, sometimes the teachers don't teach what they test us on.
