U of North Carolina-Wilmingham reports hundreds with 'flu-like symptoms' September 3rd

The University of North Carolina-Wilmingham's Student Health Center (SHC) is reporting that they have treated hundreds of students with flu-like symptoms

Blog: Swine Flu Diaries, day 2 August 27th

Lisa Huynh, a student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, documents life with H1N1.

Blog: Swine flu diaries, day 1 August 26th

4 p.m.: Have written on the dry erase board on my door, “I have the flu — beware.” I figured if I were to be secluded, I’d do it on my own terms. Took my pills, put a bottle of water next to my head and then fell asleep. I don’t plan to wake up until morning.

Increase your salary, get your degree in your spare time - FREE Application to University of Phoenix for a limited time

The University of North Carolina Wilmington is a public university located in Wilmington, North Carolina. At the time the school operated as a junior college, offering freshman-level courses to 250 students during the first school year, and was under control of the New Hanover County Board of Education. Wilmington College earned accreditation from the North Carolina College Conference in 1948 and became a member of the American Association of Junior Colleges. In 1958 Wilmington College was placed under the Community College Act of North Carolina thereby passing control from the New Hanover County Board of Education to a board of trustees. Wilmington College became a senior college on July 1, 1963 when the North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation allowing the school to offer a four-year curriculum and award bachelor’s degrees. Six years later, July 1, 1969, the name of the school was changed to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, making UNCW the fifth campus of the University of North Carolina system. I go to college Currently, UNCW has over 11,000 students enrolled and nearly 500 full-time faculty members. In addition to the dormitories, UNCW also has on campus apartments and suites. (With the exception of Seahawk Village residents.) All residences have an RA, or Resident Assistant, who is always a student, on each hall and are administered by an RC or Residential Coordinator who is a university staff member who lives on campus in the residence they are responsible for. With the exception of the apartments, suites, and Seahawk Village apartments, all students are required to show identification to the DR, or Desk Attendant upon entering the various residential buildings. Here is a partial list of some of these communities: – Canterbury Woods – Cypress Grove – Clear Run – Reserve Hills – Osprey Landing More information about UNCW apartments can be found at UniversityRenter UNCW has several options for campus dining. As is typical with most college campuses, UNCW’s dining services are entirely controlled by Aramark, whose contract demands the inclusion of meal plans in most, but not all, residential fees. The quality of campus dining at UNCW is unremarkable, and Wagoner especially has come under criticism for the poor quality and limited variety of its dining options. The university is organized in to five colleges: The university has 73 undergraduate degree programs, 28 masters degree programs, and one Ph.D. World Report: UNCW has the fourth highest freshman SAT average, the third highest freshman retention rate, and the third highest six-year graduation rate in the UNC system. The University was also recently ranked seventh among the top public master’s universities in the South by US News and World Report, America’s Best Colleges 2006. The most recent 26th edition (2004) of Barron’s Profiles of American Colleges lists UNCW at the “very competitive” level.
