UNCW is a small school with around 15,000 students. Which is about half compared to other popular schools like NC State and UNC. UNCW can be described as a small beach school where students only care about the beach. Even though, that statement is somewhat true for some people. The students here work that much harder in school to make sure they are able to stay here. Going to this university has so many amazing things to teach its students outside of the classroom: Live easy and don’t stress about things that don't matter. Here are some things that only students at UNCW will understand.
1. Classes getting cancelled because of floods. Bless the high water table.
2. When the streets are flooded people pull out their Kayaks and boats as a mode of transportation.
