One great benefit of attending UNCG is its location. Greensboro offers all the amenities of a large city, yet it has a small-town feel. Time and again, it has been nationally recognized as one of the best places to live in the U.S. Students find a dynamic mixture of education, social gatherings, and cultural and sporting events in Greensboro. Visit the links at the right to read about some of the sights you can see while you are in town.
You'll soon find that there is so much to discover in Greensboro -- museums, Broadway and local theatre, movies, galleries, coffee bars, opera, ballet, and the symphony. Greensboro Coliseum, just a mile from campus, is a frequent host of the ACC men's and women's basketball tournament. Area minor league baseball and professional soccer draw crowds with their exciting play.
Located at the crossroads of I-85 and I-40, Greensboro is easy to reach by interstate highway, Amtrak service, or the Piedmont Triad International Airport.
