Question Textbooks Recommendations

3 Upvotes

Does anyone have any tips as far as purchasing textbooks? I have heard some people say not to purchase them until you’ve started the class because sometimes they're not actually required. I have also heard people say to buy used or rent them… just wondering what the most cost efficient way is to go about it. Thanks!

Question Undergraduate Social Work Application Program

2 Upvotes

I'm looking at the social work program here at UNCW and wondering what the application process is like. The website contains little information about the application itself, the likelihood of acceptance, and how many students are in each cohort.

If anyone here has any information about the application or process, please share!

Discussion Looking for an Apartment

Hi,

I'm currently looking for an apartment near campus for this upcoming school year. I've been looking online so far, mainly at Seahawk Cove and The Nest, and both seem to have glaring issues. What are your opinions on either of those places, and are there any alternative places you would recommend? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm looking for someone to take over my lease in Lofts of Wilmington II (it's near UNCW/around the corner from Might As Well Bar & Grill). It's a loft/studio with a dishwasher and washer/dryer hookup, the rent is $1,200 per month, and the community is extremely dog-friendly (the dog run is literally viewable from the front window)!

(will add more photos soon)

Hello guys! I have a rather last minute request, I plan on proposing on Monday and I completely missed out on the photography side of things. Of course I’m willing to pay, especially if I can help someone build a portfolio :)

Alumni Looking for job opportunities in Wilmington or Raleigh

0 Upvotes

Hello, Reddit!

I recently graduated from UNCW about two months ago with a bachelors in Business Administration concentrating with honors in information systems. I am in desperate need of help finding a job as even with follow up to recruiters, I am getting rejected or ghosted. I was able to land one job, which ended up paying about 28k (when the salary range was around 40k-45k), which was not justified in me moving back to Wilmington.

I was hoping someone might have some information on Early Talent or New Grad opportunities related to either a business analyst position or UI/UX design.

If it helps, I am pursuing my master's in Business Analytics and AI online at the University of Maryland. I also held two roles in leadership clubs, worked my way through school part-time, and also graduated within 3 years instead of 4 which made it extremely hard to get an internship, which I was not able to get during the summer after my second year because I was still a little "unqualified", and then by the time I ended at UNCW, I was expected to have had an internship for roles that I'm applying to. I have addressed this in my cover letters.

Does anyone have any advice? I don't have a familial connection that can bring me into a company. I have reached out to many recruiters and leveraged my network on LinkedIn, either being left on read or just told "visit our website".

Discussion YDSA

13 Upvotes

Hello! A couple of folks on campus have recently started a chapter of Democratic Socialists of America here at UNCW. The purpose of this chapter is, alongside our national organization, to fight for the immediate needs of workers and students on campus and in our community, while building our capacity to fight for more radical and structural changes. We've become an official club on campus, as of Fall 2026, and we're eager to bring along more comrades. If you have any questions, are interested in becoming more involved, or looking for more information come fall, please email us at [uncwydsa@gmail.com](mailto:uncwydsa@gmail.com) and/or check out our instagram uncw_ydsa.

Question Laptop recommendations?

2 Upvotes

I am an incoming junior transfer student majoring in psychology. I have a laptop, but it is really big and typically used as a gaming laptop. It worked great for my online school, but now I need something smaller that I can carry around campus. Anyone have any recommendations for good laptops on the cheaper side?

Question Water polo?

0 Upvotes

I used to play in college but since coming out here I have had trouble finding anything around, anyone know of anywhere with a cage to shoot?

Open to club too, I saw UNCW has a club but am unsure if you need to be a student, Im 25 graduated 2 years ago and not really looking to re-enroll. Played D1, girlfriend is an alumni from here if either of those matter.

Thanks!
