How is UNCW/Wilmington Transportation?

<p>I love the location of the campus at UNCW but have heard some bad things about the transportation (if you don't have a car) to get around to the best of Wilmington, NC. I was wondering if any current or recently graduated students could shed some light on how to get to places downtown or especially to Wrightsville Beach. How much are cab/taxi fares? Because that seems like one of the only viable options if you don't have a car. Lastly, how did you get around and make the best of Wilmington?</p>
