Did you feel like you were well prepared when you got to UNCP?

After attending ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½, I transferred to the University of North Carolina at Pembroke to further my education. Beginning my education at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ helped me prepare for UNCP, and the experience was similar. Furthermore, the articulation agreement between ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½CC 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 ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½CC guarantee program.

Did you or your family save money by starting at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½CC and then transferring?

Starting at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ before transferring to a university was cost-effective due to the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½CC Guarantee waiving tuition costs.

Why would you recommend someone attend ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½CC first versus going straight to a four-year university after graduating high school?

I recommend attending ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ before enrolling in a university because you can receive a quality education at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½CC at a much lower price.
