THE QUEEN CITY
“The community at Charlotte is truly a home away from home. It is a big school, but it has that small school feeling. Anywhere I go, I see people that I know, but there is always room to continue meeting people. There is truly a place for everyone at the university and in the city, and the opportunities are endless. Through professors and others in the community, there are plenty of places to find your next step.”

EXPLORE ARTS & CULTURE
“I was inspired to come to Charlotte due to its rapid growth and development, and access to opportunities inside and outside of the classroom! Professionally, I’ve been able to build a network with many local officials which has helped me as I start to enter the post-graduation part of my life. Personally, I’ve gotten to explore the uptown area of the city, visiting parks, museums and more to help make me feel more connected to the city!”
