Review of UNC Wilmington

I am a junior at UNCW and currently live on campus. Up until this year, I have loved the school. However, after Hurricane Florence, things started to go down hill and my love for the school started to fade. Upon return from the hurricane, students came back to trashed student living: housing officials had let contractors into our living spaces, who, as a result, left them extremely dirty, ate a lot of the food we had left behind, and stole items from student's rooms. Additionally, I was just informed THROUGH TWITTER last week that on campus housing will be strictly rising freshman next year and was placed on a waitlist. This leaves me extremely frustrated due to the fact that I do not have a car and finding an apartment close enough to campus to walk will be extremely competitive due to UNCW kicking all of the upper classmen, international, and transfer students off campus. If you are thinking of applying to UNCW, don't, unless you're prepared to be blindsided by a bunch of issues that add onto the stress of being a working college student.
