In the beginning, I was honestly a little worried because I had never taken a full-time online course before. The first couple of weeks felt overwhelming and stressful since there was so much information being shared all at once. However, as time went on, I realized that staying organized and carefully reading every email and announcement made a huge difference. That was truly the key to keeping up with classes, assignments, and university updates.

One of the best parts of my experience was the support... Read More system provided by the university. Before classes even started, my counselor scheduled a meeting with me to guide me through the process. She was extremely welcoming, supportive, and always available whenever I had questions or concerns. Knowing that help was easily accessible made the transition into online learning much smoother and less intimidating.

I also appreciated how easy it was to get in touch with the university overall. Whether it was academic support, technical help, or general guidance, the staff was responsive and helpful throughout the program.

There were some cybersecurity issues during my time at the university, which initially caused concern among students. However, I believe UNCW handled the situation professionally and efficiently. The university kept students informed and took the necessary steps to address the issue quickly, which helped maintain trust and confidence.

Overall, while the experience started with some nervousness and adjustment, it turned out to be a positive and rewarding learning journey.

I loved the university that I attended for a lot of different reasons. It was an amazing college experience and I highly recommend to anyone thinking of taking the step to complete higher education. First of all, campus is so beautiful. Every day while walking to class I would look around and think to myself how grateful I am that I get to be walking to class in such beautiful nature. I loved all of my classes, but especially the ones for my major. Every single English professor was amazing in their... Read More own way. I learned so much and made so many wonderful connections. All in all it was such an amazing experience and every day I wish I could go back.

UNCW is overpriced. The professors are dinosaurs. The school is spending millions of dollars on new buildings but will not invest in the ACTUAL EDUCATION it provides. I would avoid this place like the plague. I did both my undergrad and my grad degree here, and it has been the single largest waste of money I have ever had. All you get is a rubber stamp, that diploma. You will NOT be taught anything meaningful. Professors are unwilling to learn and adapt to the changing environment and are stuck in... Read More their old, tired ways. I have gone through both the business school here and a graduate level computer science/data program.

I returned to UNCW in 2016 to obtain my Professional MBA after several years of being in the workforce. I earned my undergraduate degree at UNCW as well in Communication Studies. While I loved every minute of my undergraduate years and I wouldn't trade them for anything, my graduate school years were some of the most challenging and rewarding to both myself personally and my career. It was then I got interested in my current career and have been fortunate enough to progress in that career in the... Read More 4+ years since my graduation. I owe UNCW quite a bit since they allowed me to have a second chance at getting an education re-enrolling me under a special re-enrollment policy that allowed me the opportunity to earn my Bachelor's and get on my feet after struggling for 5+ years. The professors in my department were very helpful, knowledgeable, and truly cared about their students and the education they were providing them. The same can be said about my graduate program. I've watched the university grow and change over the years and I'm proud to be an alumni of a school that truly cares about its student body. Without the second chance I received, I wouldn't be where I am today.

I go to UNCW as a nursing student and I can say it has been one of the worst experiences imaginable. I have been disrespected by a majority of the nursing staff and have found minimal help throughout the program. I will say there are a few professors that are wonderful, but they are few and far between. The nursing professors will actually go out of their way to disrespect students. I have been called a liar, cheater, and incompetent. Thankfully I found a job in what I love and and am about to graduate... Read More despite UNCW Nursing making me feel unworthy. I wouldn’t recommend this program to anyone who has an ounce of self respect. UNCW nursing will crush every bit of confidence and happiness out of you and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Being a high school senior can be a scary time. Taking the SAT's and figuring out where you want to go to college. You tour all these schools who tell you why they are the best and why you should attend. I visited about six colleges before touring UNCW, and I kept thinking to myself, when will I find a school that feels like home. Finally, when I visited UNCW, it felt like home. The campus is beautiful, there are trees everywhere and small ponds to relax by between classes. UNCW has done a great... Read More job making sure that a large university feels small. You can't walk down chancellors without seeing a familiar face. The students, professor, and staff at UNCW always make you feel like you are part of the Seahawk community. You could walk up to anyone on campus, and they would have a friendly chat with you. UNCW has a wide variety of classes to chose from, and the professors always help you. They all have weekly office hours, so you can always pop in when you have a question. UNCW may not have to newest dorms, but that's where you will make friends that will make your college experience great. The RA's and UNCW always plan fun events to go to and to meet new people. There also hundreds of clubs and organizations that students can join to find their people. I wouldn't trade anything for my experience at UNCW, the last four years were incredible.

Simply said, UNCW gave me some of the best years of my life. I attended after two years as a transfer student to finish my bachelor's degree in Biology. The biology/marine bio department was well involved in many organizations that lead many students to insightful and amazing experiences. The instructors for the most part were amiable people and didn't hesitate to set up a meeting with you in their offices. They would also really try to remember your name, which was important to me as it showed they... Read More honestly cared. The campus itself is beautiful, and walking down Chancellor's is always nice, its basically main street for the school and all the students walk up and down it to get to classes. When I toured UNCW I saw a bunch of other students on bikes and longboards and I instantly knew it was the place for me, very laid back place. However, if you're into sports, the biggest one that ever made a fuss at UNCW, at least that I heard of, was basketball, and the games were great to go to. Although, if you're wanting that super sports driven school pride then maybe UNCW isnt the right place, at least thats how I feel about it. Either way, its a great school located close to a classy, relaxing beach, and just east of an interesting downtown area. Hope I helped!

I received a BS in Business Administration and a minor in creative writing. Pros about my experience: beautiful, inspiring campus, entrepreneurial spirit across the board at this campus, and lots of creative, philanthropic minded students and faculty. Most classes were challenging, though I felt not all of my business professors were great at teaching, but great at business. I was very happy with my Creative Writing professors - they changed my life and encouraged me to keep creating, while challenging... Read More me and giving constructive feedback. Cons - the school is lacking diversity in such an overwhelming rate and they don't have support for students coming from marginalized communities. It feels a bit segregated and unaware of the quiet murmur of elitism and unfortunately racism and homophobia. I hope things have changed in that regard since I was there, but seeing as how they allowed Trump to speak there I would proceed with skepticism.
