Welcome week at UNCW always means F U N! During welcome week students get to know their fellow students and get a tour of the huge UNCW campus. All new and returning, local and international students are moving in to their dorms and are welcomed in their new home. The UNCW team is organising many fun actitvies for students - so don't miss it!

My name is Florian, I am 23 years old and attended the UNCW in the fall semester of 2018. I am studying economics and have attended four courses at the Cameron School of Business. I especially recommend the courses ”Principles of Management” and ”Leadership and Organizational Change”. The professors have designed the lessons very interesting and I have taken a lot of helpful information back to Germany. In general, I really enjoyed my time at UNCW and I am glad to have chosen this university. Especially the beautiful campus and the proximity to the beach, as well as the exciting campus life I liked. With the Chancellor’s Walk and the Wagoner Hall, there was a place where you could always meet familiar faces. Wilmington convinced me with an interesting city center and a warm climate. In addition, Charlotte, Myrtle Beach or the Outer Banks can be reached in a few hours by car.

Do you love to work out or improve your fitness? If so, the UNCW is the perfect university for you!

Sports courts, an indoor and outdoor pool, group exercise studios, climbing walls – the list of activities at the UNC Wilmington is endless. So whenever you have time between your classes or just want to meet up with friends, the Student Recreation Center (SRC) is your place to go.

The SRC creates opportunities for individuals to improve their total fitness, develop healthy lifestyle habits, improve sports and outdoor recreation skills, reduce stress, increase energy level, improve strength and endurance, realize the positive rewards from an active lifestyle as well as meet and interact with others. 

This is Wrightsville beach which is just a couple minutes away from the UNCW. It was rewarded as one of the 20 best surf beaches worldwide from National Geographics. Don't miss out the opportunity to catch the next wave!

Have you heard of the International Student Mentor Program offered by the UNCW? No? Then you should definitely continue reading.

The International Student Program pairs you with a student from UNCW. This is very helpful as you already get in contact with them before even being in the states. Before I came to Wilmington, I had the opportunity to get to know my student mentor by email and she also offered to pick me up from the airport. This was very helpful as I arrived on Wednesday and the shuttles organized by the university were only running on the weekend after I arrived. At the beginning of the semester I still had many questions regarding classes and university in general. A tip from me for you: If you are not sure about something and you do have a student mentor, do not hesitate to contact them. All the student mentors have been abroad so they know how you are feeling, and they are willing to help you as good as they can.
