What Students Are Saying
UNC Greensboro is a very diverse school in a positive light. Because this school is so diverse, I have so many more opportunities I feel open to exploring rather than feeling the pressure of needing to be a part of something. Being a UNCG Spartan has widened my future and given me above excellent education to carry me through to beginning my career!
Charlene from Colfax, NC
Due to the helpful orientation staff, my freshman year of college managed to be a great transition from high school. They were quite friendly, approachable, and genuinely there to help with any questions or concerns for the incoming freshman. Personally, I am entering my final year of undergraduate school and I am still in love with the beauty and the diversity of this campus.
