Students get a great education in a great location when they come to UNCW. The University of North Carolina Wilmington is located in the southeastern region of North Carolina, near the historic district of Wilmington, four miles from the Cape Fear River and five miles west of Wrightsville Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Through the centuries, the Wilmington area has seen a lot of action, in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World War II. Now it's a flourishing business and tourist destination and the capital of North Carolina's film industry.

Warm Gulf Stream waters and ocean breezes make this a nice place to be in any season. In the fall, temperatures hover around the 60s. In the winter, it rarely gets below 40 and summertime temperatures start in April.

Moss-laden oaks, towering pines, and stately brick buildings make up UNCW's picturesque campus on Highway 132 (College Road). By car, UNCW is accessible via I-40 and U.S. Highways 421, 17 and 74-76. USAirways and ASA Delta offer flights into Wilmington International Airport, only minutes from campus.
