A small school located in Charlotte, NC with the only people who know about the school are the people who attend it. An underdog school with its fans always having to make up excuses that their school is better in any form than yours.
UNCC students go on tantrums when they are addressed by their ACTUAL name, UNCC. They prefer to be named Charlotte so they aren't confused by the more well known and highly accredited UNC Chapel Hill. Many students want to break away from the UNC system and go by the name of University of Charlotte... which will only make the school go under the college radar even more!
Students who attend UNCC are typically people who chose the school as their "back-up plan", people who don't like to be too far from home, people who have an inflated ego and can't accept the truth.
The students will always claim that they have more school spirit than yours, and that is because they know they are lacking too many features of a real university.
In a nut shell - One step higher than a community college.
(Although some people already mistake it for one!)

Money Pit. Because the place is a money pit, students rarely graduate in four years, and it is way to expensive. It also sucks the light out of everything. So if you enjoy your social life do not come here. It should be used as more of an insult.
Person 1: Nice! I got accepted to UNCC.
Person 2: What? Oh you mean the money pit. Good luck my friend...

A large school (25,000+ students) located in Charlotte, NC.
UNC Charlotte was rated one of the Top Ten National Up and Coming Universities by US News and World Report in 2009.
UNC Charlotte is proud to have approximately 900 passionate and committed faculty members (of the full-time instructional faculty, nearly 85% hold the highest degrees attainable in their fields). More than 70,000 living alumni -- with an addition of 4,000 to 4,500 new alumni annually - are a testament to the strength of the students in the university community.
Average Class Size: 33
Student-Faculty Ratio- 15:1
The best school in the UNC system.
Great Nursing program and one of the top Business programs in the country.
Has one of the two architectural schools in the state of North Carolina.
Often confused for UNC Chapel Hill, which is an entirely different, inferior school.
