The J. Murrey Atkins Library is currently undergoing a renovation that will offer students a larger area for work and research and bring its design in line with several of the recent buildings completed on campus. The library offers a variety of services, with collections totalling nearly 700,000 items. In addition, the campus is surrounded by numerous apartment complexes, all within walking distance. There are over 140 clubs and organizations that students can get involved in - from fraternities and sororities to student government and club sports. Intramural sports are one of the major attractions for students.
Sports range from flag football and basketball to bowling, ping pong and water polo.
UNC Charlotte's location in the Southern Piedmont of North Carolina also makes the region's many vacation spots easily accessible. It is only a two-hour drive to the North Carolina mountains and just over three hours to the nearest beaches.
