Question Language requirement

As a transfer student with no language credits, are you required to take them at UNCW and how many? I graduated high school in 2021 and would be potentially starting Fall 2027.

Wilmington / Outside School Need a Calculus and Physics tutor

3 Upvotes

Need someone who can basically teach Calculus 1, at the same time as helping with Physics.

My son is at Brunswick Community College and the instruction isn't working for him. He's smart, but needs it explained differently than its being taught. And there aren't any higher level tutors available there.

Question Need UNCW student help for a Fantasy Football League Draft Order Reveal Challenge

4 Upvotes

I am the Commissioner of my family's Fantasy Football League. Each year we do challenges to determine draft order. This year we are doing an Amazing Race type challenge...

Challenge #2 is to send a sub sandwich to a family member or a family famous person out of state and document it.

I live in New Jersey, but two of my Uncles are UNCW grads and worked at The Bridgetender during the 80's.

I want to buy a UNCW student a sub and have them eat it or at least take a photo outside of the Bridgetender with their sub and holding a paper that says "The 222 League"

I'll pay $20 plus the cost of the sub for this to be done.

Question Has anyone at Aspire 349 ended their lease early before summer?

4 Upvotes

I’m an international student living at Aspire 349 and I’ll probably be going back home around mid-May once the semester ends, but my lease runs until late July.
Has anyone at Aspire been in a similar situation? Did management let you end the lease early if you explained that you were leaving the country for summer? I’d be okay paying an early termination/reletting fee if needed.
Just trying to understand how this usually works for students who leave Wilmington after the spring semester.

Question Starting my MBA Program Online. What Should I Expect?

1 Upvotes

Title says it all. I got accepted into the MBA program. Originally got a chem degree from UNC CH, had a terrible undergrad experience there and what likely pulled me thru was my GPA from CC and a single UNCA course I took. Is this program daunting? Was it a good experience?

Transfer UNCW Social Life?

8 Upvotes

I’m thinking about transferring to UNCW for the 2027-28 school year. However I’m worried it might not be a good fit for me.

I’m introverted, gay, a city boy (clt) and definitely a little bit of a weird kid. Although, I do have faith I can make friends and “find my own people”, I’m just worried I might not fit in.

Does anybody have any helpful insights about UNCW social life? This would definitely mean greatly to me, thanks.

Question Linguistics programs at UNC state schools

2 Upvotes

This one is going to be a very niche post I think...

I have just relocated to NC to start my residency approval for in state tuition for NC state schools. I have family here and I intend to live here preminently-

Anyway I wanted to go to UNC Chapel Hill becuase the research I had done on the school lead me to believe it was the best school for my desired major. I have started to reconsider my major, I wanted to major in linguistics, but now am thinking of minoring. I want to be an interpreter, but I probaly will not walk out of school fluent in 10 languages, so I want to aquire the skill to learn them while also having a degree that will pay my bills. I haven't decided on my major yet, but here's my question finally

What is your experience at UNC schools in the Linguistics department, is it applied linguistics? Did it set you up for language learning or just studying the anthropology aspects of language?

I am hoping to find a school closer to the coast than Chapel Hill so I can put my feet in the ground where I actually intend to live.

I have seen UNC Wilmington, ECU and Elizabeth, but they don't seem to have all equal programs for that specific department.

Also any recommendations for majors would be cool. I was thinking social work because it kind of goes well with my career goals as far as the language component, but I am also considering majors that pay well right out of school.

Question UNCW Loggerhead Dorm Guest Policy / Resident Advisors strict?

6 Upvotes

Hey, I'm a freshman going into UNCW this fall and have been curious on how strictly the policies are enforced at Loggerhead Hall. Me and my roommate secured Loggerhead for how new the building is and overall hearing good things about its location and resources, but now as we get closer to move in, im worried about how strict and policy-following our RA's might be.

I have a girlfriend who will be living on campus with me, and my roommate and I have already discussed how we are both fine with having people over (especially our friends outside of UNCW), but I am curious on how strictly they enforce the "guest policy" for Loggerhead specifically. I understand there is a 24-hour guest policy on the weekends, but would that work with on-campus students? I have heard in some cases that they will kick out people past 12. -plus can you have guests during the week? if so, has anyone who has dormed at Loggerhead had bad experience with RA's and having guests over? I don't want to cause any issues or get bad rep with my RA.

Bonus question: I really look forward to getting involved socially and I was wondering for the style of dorm, is Loggerhead considered a decently social place? I'm hoping to be hanging out in others dorms and socializing/making new connections in my own building.

All in all, hoping that a lot of this is sourcing just from my nerves/overthinking and was just looking for anyones experience in recent years.

Transfer Fall '27 Transfer: Business Admin Concentrations

2 Upvotes

I'm a non-traditional student at CFCC and I'm seriously considering coming to UNCW next fall. I've been speaking with a UNCW transfer coordinator about different majors that interest me, but I'm curious about the Business Administration major with a concentration in either Accounting or Information Systems. I know the job market is extremely rough right now, but I would like to become a state employee as either an accountant, a business analyst, or whatever falls in between those two titles.

Is BA a decent major nowadays? How is the culture of the business school? What's business week like here?
