Did you feel like you were well prepared when you got to UNCP?
After attending ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø, I transferred to the University of North Carolina at Pembroke to further my education. Beginning my education at ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø helped me prepare for UNCP, and the experience was similar. Furthermore, the articulation agreement between ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø and UNCP made the transition easy.
Do you feel like you had a well-rounded college experience?
Yes, I had a well-rounded college experience, and I recommend taking advantage of the ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø guarantee program.
Did you or your family save money by starting at ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø and then transferring?
Starting at ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø before transferring to a university was cost-effective due to the ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø Guarantee waiving tuition costs.
Why would you recommend someone attend ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø first versus going straight to a four-year university after graduating high school?
I recommend attending ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø before enrolling in a university because you can receive a quality education at ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø at a much lower price.
