University of North Carolina at Charlotte Reviews

"It's a great university, and highly underrated. There is a lot of interesting research going on across the university, and the professors are very knowledgeable and helpful."

"Great school, beautiful campus. Parking can be difficult if you live off-campus, and they are not hesitant to issue parking tickets. I enjoyed my experience."

"Fantastic college, the people are great as well as the staff. Things have certainly changed since my freshman year, the campus is growing and the University cares about its students much more than it did when I began school. There are tons of clubs and organizations you can join for friends, networking, socializing, pretty much anything. I had a great time there and I'm always wishing I could go back. Charlotte is a great place."

"I love uncc, the professors are great, very experienced and caring. The graduate school is even better and the MAT, distance education has changed my life!"

"The program was difficult but enjoyable. The professors for the most part were really great. I wish we had been more prepared for what to expect after the FE with the degree we received. Maybe if we would have had a class on what to expect as a working professional with an ET degree I would not have been so disheartened to find that I have to wait 4 years to call myself an EIT and 8 to take the PE."

"I'm currently studying Accounting at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The professors have been very hands on and the program does an excellent job of preparing you for the real world. While the commute of traveling to uptown Charlotte is tedious the experience has proven worthwhile."

"This graduate program sets students up for successful careers as school counselors. The professors bring professional knowledge from their own previous careers and are dedicated to the students in the program."

"I really life the communication graduate program that I will be entering because it allows me to gear my research specifically towards to career goals."

"UNC Charlotte is located in the University City area of Charlotte, so it gives you access to the amenities of Charlotte while being relatively affordable. The professors seem to actually care about your education and are really approachable. UNC Charlotte is up-to-date and the English PTW program is practical and useful. There are only three PTW faculty, which is both a pro and a con because you get to know them really well, but it limits the input you get. The majority of students commute in and most of the grad classes are at night so you can work during the day."

"Pros: I am more than pleasantly surprised with the academic quality and rigor of my program. This program is not highly ranked compared to other schools, but I am excited to go to class and share my experiences and education with others and even more excited to learn from my colleagues. This graduate program is a perfect fit for me. Cons: Campus life leaves a lot to be desired and the University Area is not a safe neighborhood, unfortunately."

"The Graduate Program in Kinesiology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is known for graduating students that are prepared for the professional life awaiting them in the surrounding metropolitan area or an area outside of the region. Moreover, the program also provides a track for students to obtain a terminal degree in the field--the professors are readily available to help and are focused on making the institution stand-out with regards to it's research. The location of UNCC is in Charlotte which is still somewhat small and less progressive than many cities, while the financial aid is becoming non-existent due to cutbacks in the state legislature. However, I would recommend the program for anyone interested in sports medicine and kinesiology due to the local research campus and the dedication of the staff and the faculty in the program."

"I learned some cutting edge techniques in GIS, somehow I don't feel that we have broad applications for job opportunities."

"Pros= health coverage, financial aid Cons= huge workload, small stipend"

"A not bad campus, with low living cost and safety surrounding."

"Great school. Still developing in terms of research and campus."

"I really like my program. The quality of the research training I researched was great and I feel very prepared to work on my own now."

"pros: great faculty and students, great courses Cons: not a lot of support for international students, high students fees, very few on campus work opportunities"

"Strong program at an up-and-coming urban research institution (the fastest growing UNC school and conveniently located in a growing city). Wonderful professors and mentors in the department and at the university. I have been fortunate to receive sufficient financial and academic support. Maybe not quite the same expectations and competitiveness as you would encounter at an Ivy League school, but I'd rather be here given the amount of opportunities I have at UNC Charlotte to do independent and collaborative research, publish, present at conferences, and teach undergraduate courses. Affordable housing nearby, though you need a car to live here (the light rail is opening 2017 to connect campus to downtown Charlotte)."

"MBA grad program is located in downtown Charlotte next to all the major business buildings, which is convenient for those who work and go to school in the evening. However for those who have to travel to get to school it is difficult to always be on time with the rush hour traffic coming both in and out of Charlotte.The teachers are friendly, challenging and somewhat flexible to students needs."
