Hi there, I’m currently a junior in HS and would like to know about these schools: UNCG, Elon, Winthrop (which is in SC, btw), App state, and UNCW. I plan to major in English and (possibly) minor in history but idk quite yet. Give me the good, bad, and the ugly about each school. Thanks in advance
I think people would be able to help you better if you were a little more specific about what you want to know.
@juillet diversity, atmosphere, quality of programs
Have you visited? Have you read up on the schools using books like Fiske, Insiders Guide, Princeton Review?
Compare them on college niche they score them in each category.
This is is what I’ve found in student reviews.
Appalachian State : 87% white, little diversity. Little Greek life. Quite a bit of drugs/alcohol, no peer pressure.
Elon University : 82% white, little diversity.Prominent Greek life, Lots of drinking, quite a bit of drug use. Little peer pressure.
UNCG : 58% white, very diverse. Little Greek life. Little drug/alcohol use, no peer pressure.
UNCW : 82% white, little diversity. Average Greek life. Quite a bit of drugs/alcohol, no peer pressure.
Winthrop University : 60% white, very diverse. Quite a bit of Greek life. Little drug use, some alcohol. No peer pressure.
Thanks @newjerseygirl98 for the input! Diversity is a major factor in the schools I’ll apply to next year
If you’re looking for diversity I can personally say Elon isn’t the place for you
For English, look into UNC-Asheville
