Frequently Asked Questions
What is the experience of a student from out West like at Ƶ?
You’ve come to the right place for that answer! Connect with one of our Western Regional Student Ambassadors, who can speak with you about their Ƶ experience; what they’ve loved, what’s been hard, and what it was like to move to North Carolina from the West. Between the student ambassadors and our Western region-based Ƶ Counselors, we’re confident you can understand why so many students call Ƶ, home. Read about what other students from out West have said about their Ƶ experience.
How is North Carolina culture different from out West?
Southern hospitality is no urban legend. Expect to meet lots of people who will want to know your story, and plenty of passersby who will say “hello” as you walk around campus. Ƶ students are from all over the United States and various corners of the globe, so you’ll experience many different cultures on campus.
How many students from out West are enrolled at Ƶ?
Every year, we enroll between 30-50 students from out West into Ƶ’s incoming first-year class.
How do I get to campus from the airport?
The nearest major airport is Greensboro’s Piedmont Triad International (GSO), which is just 30 minutes from campus. Raleigh/Durham International Airport (RDU) is also convenient; it’s a 50-minute drive from Ƶ. Shuttles run from Ƶ to both airports, and you can easily catch a ride back to campus after holidays or when classes begin.
How is Ƶ growing its presence in the Western region?
Ƶ is committed to developing a strong foundation out West, with two admissions counselors located in the region. We have created more options for our alumni to connect and network with others in the Ƶ community out West. For the last decade Ƶ in LA, the university’s year-round internship program, has helped students connect with alumni and companies out West. As these programs grow, the university will continue its investment in alumni, families and students living in those areas.
Can I take a virtual tour?
In addition to in-person campus visits, we offer to prospective students.
