My experience
My experience has been so amazing here at the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. There are great and nice professors who are always ready to help students to achieve their goals. The weather and climatic condition have also been friendly. Thanks
Good place to grow
UNCG's campus is really nice, full of trees and green spaces despite being located in a decently sized city. My professors were knowledgeable and student life and societies were common on campus and easily accessible.
2/5
UNCG and Me
I think that UNCG could be a great school for some, but it has not been for me. There is a lack in academic rigor overall and you have to actively seek out any and all involvement. It is mainly a commuter school making it hard to get engagement and involvement. The Environment and Sustainability program has changed and shifted multiple times during my time here making it difficult to keep up with expectations of my degree and has been overall an insecure education journey.
