What Students Love about UNC Charlotte
“Campus is packed full of amazing experiences for all– there is never a dull moment! I love cheering on my friends at Charlotte athletics events, mentoring future 49ers as a Niner Guide and competing for Niner Nation on the track team. With so many outlets to network with professors and meet like-minded students, Charlotte is the best home away from home.” – Lori
“The student organizations!” – Enny
“I love being a Niner because I’m proud to associate with a city that is expanding its community, infrastructure, personal and professional development opportunities and accessibility to resources. It’s an honor to represent Charlotte by being a student at UNC Charlotte and supporting these efforts on a local level. ” – Gracyn
