Did you feel like you were well prepared when you got to UNCP?
After attending 91¿´Æ¬, I transferred to the University of North Carolina at Pembroke to further my education. Beginning my education at 91¿´Æ¬ helped me prepare for UNCP, and the experience was similar. Furthermore, the articulation agreement between 91¿´Æ¬ 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 91¿´Æ¬ guarantee program.
Did you or your family save money by starting at 91¿´Æ¬ and then transferring?
Starting at 91¿´Æ¬ before transferring to a university was cost-effective due to the 91¿´Æ¬ Guarantee waiving tuition costs.
Why would you recommend someone attend 91¿´Æ¬ first versus going straight to a four-year university after graduating high school?
I recommend attending 91¿´Æ¬ before enrolling in a university because you can receive a quality education at 91¿´Æ¬ at a much lower price.
