I've heard some good things about Wingate University, but don't know much about its location or campus. Can anyone share specifics? Is it located in Charlotte, NC as I've heard?
Wingate University actually has two campuses, but neither is in Charlotte. The main campus, and the one most people refer to, is located in Wingate, North Carolina - not in Charlotte. However, it's within relatively close proximity to Charlotte; about 30 miles southeast which is approximately a 45-minute drive. The other campus is in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
The main campus in Wingate is spread across 400 acres and hosts most of the undergraduate degree programs. It has traditional collegiate red brick architecture that adds an old-world charm to the buildings. It's known for its close-knit community vibe and friendly environment.
Beyond just academics, Wingate University also offers numerous extracurricular activities. It houses more than 50 clubs and organizations and fields over 20 NCAA Division II sports teams.
The best way to truly understand the campus and culture is to visit it, if possible. Also, you should explore the school's website, take a virtual tour if you can't do an in-person one, and speak with past or current students. These steps will help you get a better feel for if the school would be a good fit for you! Good luck!
