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