Directions to Class

Getting to Morton 204 is simple and there are only a few major turns. Coming from Raleigh, on I-40, should take about two hours. Exit 420 is the last one on I-40, which then becomes College Road. From here it should take about ten minutes, depending on traffic, to arrive at the university. A Crown gas station, located on the right below an overpass, is a sign that you’re close. After the overpass, there will be a Best Buy on your left and a Wal-Mart on the right. From here, the college is approximately a mile, on the left directly past a Hardee’s, and lined by pine trees.

Since UNC-Wilmington is stingy on parking, the last entrance onto campus provides a good route to a metered parking spot. The road you want onto campus is Hurst Drive which is located approximately half a mile past the Hardee’s on the left. This turn is marked by a Taco Bell and BB&T ban that can be accessed by turning right on Hurst. After turning left off College Rd. onto Hurst, drive till you reach a stoplight. The track will be directly ahead and a parking lot bordering to tennis courts on the left. Next take a left onto Hamilton Drive at the light.

After you make the left, the tennis courts should be on your left and a softball field on your right. Go past them and continue on Hamilton Dr. through the intersection with Riegel. Soon after the intersection you will see the Warwick Center on the right and will be on an unmarked section of Hamilton. You will next encounter a stop sign and a parking lot directly ahead. It should take less than five minutes to travel from College to the stop sign.

Now take a right at the stop sign. Then an immediate left where you see a line of parking spots on the left and trailers on the right. The first couple parking spots, on the left, are metered. Once you’re out of the car, walk toward the end of the parking lot away from the Warwick Center. Follow the sidewalk leading to a big building straight ahead. This building is Randall Library and you should pass Kenan Hall on your left. Once you’re in front of the library, look towards the clock tower in the middle of a commons area. Then find the building to the left of the clock tower. This is Morton Hall where the class is located. Take the entrance into Morton that is adjacent to the clock tower and in front of bike racks.

Once you are inside, you will see a stair case on the left—take those to the second floor. Go through the double doors and continue straight. Keep walking down the hallway and locate the bathrooms on the right. We are the second room, on the left, beyond them. Our class is in room 204 and has one center table with computers lining the periphery. Once you get out of the car, it should only take a few minutes to reach the room. Class starts at 11 a.m. and Dr. Veit is particular about timing so plan your travel schedule accordingly.
