Personal recommendation
The University system was highly efficient, and easy to get to grips with. The sports facilities at UNCG were fantastic, this appeared to encourage participation and support. On a professional level, the lecturers made the classes very interesting and enjoyable and on a personal level were supportive and understanding. The people who I met and befriended were incredibly wecoming and friendly, and joining a sorority gave me an intersting insight into an important aspect of American University life. The overall experience greatly enhanced my social capabilities, confidence and academic perspective. WhenI left, I left behind some of the best friends I have ever had and took with me some of the most wonderful memories imaginable!

Final comments
As well as being a highly acclaimed educational establishment (particularly the Bryan School of Business) the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, provided an ideal setting to get to know a lot of poeople very quickly, both through classes and campus activities. I particularly enjoyed my exposure to the southern culture and the accessibilty to the other Southern States. I loved it and I am looking forward to returning to work after I graduate from University!

I wish I had known...
I wish that I had been more aware to the extent to which North Carolina is in the 'Bible Belt'. It was an eye-opening and very interesting experience for me to live there - however, there were a lot of cultural/moral issues that I did not expect. I also wish I had known how important it is to have a car there, public transport is not very widespread.

Try and buy flights when your over there as the dollar/pound exchange rate works in favour of UK residents. Join a sports team to see the country. Be open minded and don't let experiences go past you.

Overall
University of North Carolina at Greensboro offers degrees for various subjects. UNCG offers a good Finance program online. This allows me to travel and work while I finish my degree. The tuition is relatively low compared to most American universities as well.
