I hate this school, I have never met that many incompetent people in my life. I do not understand how the school functions with the entire Registrar's office acting as if their heads are shoved up their asses. They do not relay information, vital information, to students even afte the stundents request the information. The North campus and Main campus constantly contradict themselves so you never know who is telling you what is right. As well as the general feeling of apathy mixed with aggrivation, when dealing with anyone in the schools faculty. I have only met one member of the faculty that acted like a descent human being. Furthermore, just pay a little bit more and goto UNCW for the love of god, you will thank me for it. If you are going for an associate, I would look else where its just a migrane I would like others to avoid.
